I think if volume is high enough, we could do an annual dividend at season end, or at fiscal year end or quarterly to avoid any perceived linkage to games. I liked the dividends, but I’m getting more conservative in my investments.

I think a great example of why the average sports fan won’t participate can be seen in what happened on ASM when it became a requirement to send in your personal information according to the ‘Know Your Customer’ requirements. ASM went into melt down. Since I had already opened a trading account, I was already [...]

I guess I’m probably in the minority on this, but I don’t think ‘average’ sports fan will be that active no matter what the price. I compare it to how many people are interested in actively trading their 401(k). I think most activity will come from institutional traders and money managers handling accounts for other [...]

Yes, considering the variables, I thought the SRI would follow the financials. It’s good to know your test studies showed that and like you say gives evidence to it not being a gambling instrument.

It is believed that in the Mayan culture the losers were sacrificed to the gods. In Greece, the winners were treated as gods. And in our society, [...]

Irvin McCoy posted on the forum topic What kept you "glued" to ASM? in the group Welcome Back: 4 years ago
“People will trade emotionally.”….That is true and is one of the reasons why I think the SRI’s will trade in a similar pattern with the win/loss record. The other is that the factors deriving the SRI are correlated to the win/loss record and will effect the SRI price over a longer period of time. This [...]

You have said the SRI can be used for hedging by teams. And you have also said the teams would have a vested interest in the SRI, possibly getting a percentage of each share traded. I don’t think the CFTC or SEC will allow teams to trade in derivitives they are getting income from. Can [...]
