This was floating around the Level 1 forum. Coincidentally it was released on 12/6.

I don’t see how the Captain can lose. He was born to win with a name like Windjammer. It’s going to be a great match.

Just quickly woke up (it’s morning here) to login to this thread and see if I made it to the finals - to my dismay, the outcome was otherwise. Good luck AliMan - I have installed jammer devices in and around this website to nullify & neutralize windjammer’s luck.

Thank you for the kind words

SkipE99 · March 31, 2009, 2:49am

wait, so how many straight coin flips has he won?

nopes … Mumbai. Just one more hour to go - I am getting my popcorn and soda ready for the show.

arbitageur · March 31, 2009, 3:50am

its so obvious…aliman will win. btw there should be wildcard entries. i think i wouldve won if i was entered. also would there be a linear relationship between the top 20 stocks in an index?

sublimity · March 31, 2009, 3:55am

it’s so obvious Captain Windjammer will win by my analysis, though I’m rooting for TheAliMan

mwvt9 · March 31, 2009, 3:57am

This one is actually a tough call. I could go either way.

sublimity · March 31, 2009, 3:59am

my models are fluctuating at about about 60/40 Captain Windjammer/TheAliMan I’m rooting for the underdog!!!
