That's interesting, I didn't realize you had so much of her. That probably wasn't a very high percentage of your holdings though was it? Was this from your $10k fund? Either way I don't feel as bad anymore about taking such a big loss on Ayla.

it was nothing. $500 i think.
it was personal contracts. i do a lot of speculation bets at the beginning, and probably lose a few bucks overall, tho never had lost $500 on a single person in one of these 'pre-seriousness' plays. these plays are 1/2 the fun of it. sort of like the 20 extra quinellas i buy when i go to the window to put $100 on a horse to win.
with idol tho, by the time it is down to 10 contestants, all the games are done, and my $$ and fund $$ are in one or two contestants.. never more.
