Vig on TS is .4 on all transactions, so add those where ever you like.

This pissed me off also...I'm assuming the other person is Bo.

I thought the new boy band was a bit "Pitchy" in spots.

I don't see it anywhere in the rules, but I have been paying just .2 on trades with really low prices. E.g. buy at 1.7, pay .2 commission instead of .4. It certainly makes sense, since a 0.4 commission is 40% when trading something with a cost of 1. Even 0.2 is nasty.

Of course you can avoid the commission entirely if you are a "market maker" and post a buy or sell bid in the middle of the current spread range. Of course, this only works if someone takes your price.

I had assumed that you could avoid the commission from selling by holding long and waiting for your contract to be a winner, but it turns out they charge you the commission when you expire as a winner also.

Yup, you're right. I had forgotten about the extreme prices and the market makers.

Here's the TS help for anyone else, on this issue: http://www.tradesports.com/jsp/intra...tml#rates_fees

Guess who just doubled up on Constantine. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Thank you AI threads!

As for the InstaCASH, it's not as nice as WSEX. Here's the answer:

"InstaCash:
For a first ever deposit to your Account we cover the 8.9% charge imposed by Neteller up to a maximum of $50"

Edit: Their table does show InstaCASH is free though, so I'm not sure which is the straight answer. If I ever get through to Live Chat, I'll try and figure it out.

nice score on constantine. i loaded up yesterday thank god.

i can tell you this. i think bo was awesome, and i think carrie is the greatest short i have ever seen. i may sell my anwars and short her.

scott will be gone tomorrow because of the extraneous developments i think. he may get a week of pity vote tho. i think anthony did fine so he will probably be safe.

anwar, nikko, scott & carrie should be bottom 4 but watch vonzell get dumped.

strange week and tough to call unless the wife beater goes.

I'm an idiot. I bought Constantine early at about 7, reloaded later at 3, and finally gave up waiting and dumped them all for spare change at 2 just a week before he finally showed signs of life.

Oops.
