Default Pick 10 Question

First, it is good to be back at Jockstocks. I had to take a mini-break but am bak in full swing, just in time for the baseball season. I see that Pick 10 has been added. Can someone let me know what Pick 10 is and how it works? Thanks in advance.

No problem....and welcome back!

Pick 10 is quite simple really- you simply pick the 10 stocks you think will receive the largest dividends in the morning.....pick them anytime before 9am it doesn't matter 'cause you're not actually buying them. This, in effect, is a 'no moo' comp 'cause moo has no effect whatsoever in Pick 10- no reason to hurry to get a pick in, just pick the 10 you want whenever...even just before divi time.

There's a $500 commission to change a pick.....and at 9:45 (staggered just to relieve the server) your picks are scored- the divi they received is converted to dollars and the total is your 'delta' for the day.

Nice concise explanation. What is the delta then used for? I forget that part.

Your beginning balance is J$100,000. Your delta is then added to your previous days' balance everyday at 09:45am.

You do have to use the quick buy... Baseball is yet to be added to the list of players though.

Default What Quick Buy is there on Pick10

I sure can't find it. With limited Basketball and hockey we really need baseball to be a part of the P ick 10

well Nick...you are obviously right.I knew that when I posted....if you can't look up 10 symbols for pick 10 (and I've always felt strongly that anyone that's played this game for any length of time should know the majority of them) then "oh well"!

Default Well I figured it out but....

There is still some work to be done on that part of the game. Oh well, I'll still have to try and be in contention

and you have no idea how to look them up Rick? That would keep YOU from staying "in contention"? I think not.....if so.....oh well.

Nick has just been only activating a list for active sports....and I guess hasn't gotten baseball activated. But that's just the list- if you find the symbol for the guy you want and type it in, baseball should still be available.
