Re: Using Outside Sources to Build Track Record And/or Make Additional Money...

Here's a way for someone to one up MarketZar - create the same contests and such, but pay out like a poker tourney does!

I'm assuming MZ is making money here, but who knows how much. $1500 for first is only 30 paying people at $50/ea. I have no idea what the field size is (or could be) but if you paid out like a poker tourney - something like $50 + 5 and the size of the pots became sizable, that would make things a lot more interesting.

Along those lines, wonder if there's a way for TL to do this James. Just an idea - but if you created a TL trading tourney once a month or something, that could make for some good times. And it doesn't have to be a lot either - just like a $10 buy-in (or whatever is comfortable for everyone) and top 3 payout. Now, how you pull this off, no idea. I'm just the idea man.
