Amazing the results of pooling people's brainpower. But this is NOT A SURVEY. Surveys don't pool brainpower, they just tally individual opinions. Artificial Swarm Intelligence is a totally different beast. I can't wait to see what happens when it gets out of Beta.

The dude should have bet his FULL winnings from the first week on the second week. He would have turned $20 into $680. Instead he only turned $20 into about $300. Still amazing.

yep. Gotta have the balls to let it ride sometimes and he's clearly playing with house money.

Even if put half his winnings up, he'd have been in a no risk situation with a chance to win 400 total.
