Real Estate Investor Makes Hubdub Fortune!
I recently discovered a new-comer to the top echelons of the Hubdub leaderboard and thought I would investigate. It seems that he won his fortune on the question on the Stimulus Bill. After offering him my congratulations, I was thrilled to receive the following email which I thought I’d share with you - the excitement of Hubdub, brought to you by a genuine, bone-fide Hubdubber…

“For my business I have to keep on many aspects of the news. HUBDUB is a natural fit for that need.
How I found you:
I think I found HUBDUB from a mention on a story from 20/20 on ABC…..they may have mentioned collective intelligence being smarter than any one opinion.
Starting out:
When I started HUBDUB I lost everything and was looking forward to the $20 sign on credit. Eventually I won a bet here and there and built up my funds.
Satisfies my needs:
I love to gamble and this is a lot cheaper and offers many more avenues to wager on. I love the news and learning new things.
Valuable tool:
I read things on HUBDUB and wager a small amount. When it settles, I am emailed and find out what the outcome was. Great way to keep up on the news.
Chatter and insight:
I have found that there are so many genuine people on HUBDUB that offer accurate and insightful angles to each topic. It would have been tempting to spew falsities out there to scare people into making a position better, but it is virtually not out there. There is a fairness to the participants that is to be applauded.
Taking Chances:
To get to the top you have to take chances. Searching for the popular questions that people want to throw money at is difficult. Sometimes I toss in $2000 and the percentages go haywire. In the Stimulus bill I tossed in money at 50% return and then it does to 40% and even 30% within a few minutes and my account net worth drops like a rock. I then figure, if I liked it at 50% I should love it at 30-40%. So I go in again even heavier. My Net Worth creeps up even higher than before. Within a few minutes people dump money on the other side and again I am tempted to wager even more at 15%. This repeats its self over and over for several days until I find I have tens of thousands into the question. Finally, there I sit with tons of money in the question sitting at 17% and cashing out of another deal just to find funds to put more in. The whole time I am seriously doubting myself as to why I would want to put more in. I thought I was a sure loser.
Then I signed on and thought there was something wrong with HUBDUB as I saw the account read twice what my previous net worth was from only signing on a few hours ago. I initially thought that someone must have made a wager big time on the wrong side, I should hustle and cash out while I can at least get something out as I was assured to lose this according to the news days leading up to this. Sure enough I check the news sources and it was pretty much a done deal and I had won. People were sending me messages and congratulatory remarks. I had won a ton of money and everyone appeared happy for me. I think that says a lot about those involved. The heartfelt comments were almost touching enough to give the HUBDUB funds back…..I said almost! I will be giving it away sometime I am sure in my next wild prediction…..or perhaps the one after that or somewhere down the line. I am happy to encourage someone to beat me and will offer congratulations when it happens. Until then today is my day and I am trying my best to climb up the leader board.”
