I have no understanding of how the mineral basket works, and what is likely to happen :)
Still, this is the most entertaining thread in MD since Yi's scam (Yi?), thus I have sent 50m to Shar Tegral, betting on "no crash".

You can see this thread that lead to this one. I know Akita has posted a lot of information going back a long time. A quick search found this from a few years ago.
Thanks for the links. Possibly a little wiser after having read the above and Akita's more recent explanation.
My only hope is CCP now- who are likely to tweak things (probably in the 2nd patch after Tyrannis) to counter the impending crash :)

Barely over half a day left until betting closes !
Last chance to gamble your ISK in an epic fashion !
You've done too good a job convincing everybody about your predictions Akita :)
With all the countless discussions (there was obviously more than one point of view) about mineral prices/insurance fraud/mission loot nerf etc over the last 8-10 months, I thought there would be more people interested in this bet.

~12.06.2010 : 63,462,016 ISK (2.38/5.39/25.22/48.29/123.61/1,140.99/2,575.89)
Seeing the poor anti-akita response just before the betting deadline, I seriously thought of wagering more, just to make things more interesting. Glad I did not log on till it was too late :)

I did not keep an eye on things for some days, though I had set up some mineral buy orders at reasonably low prices. They started getting filled up, and I thought Akita may have won.
But I am glad to see that we, the anti-Akita group, are still going strong and have a good chance of winning :)
I think you should concede defeat Akita. The mineral basket went down, but not enough.

Looking forward to the post-judgment day mineral drop when all the people betting against you can de-leverage their manipulation investments.
It would make very little sense to pull off such a large-scale manipulation in order to win some negligible amounts of ISK from a bet (the grand total bet was only 1.6 bil).
I seriously doubt the fact this bet was live had much to do with the mineral price evolution.
You are underestimating the forum anti-Akita sentiment :)
The powers-that-be will not openly bet against you, but will invest trillions to rub your nose in the dust; to undermine your prophetic influence on the market.
Looking forward to the crash, post-judgement :)

Here's the list:

Congrats to the winners, congrats to everyone who participated in the thread.
Received. Thanks.
My previous comments on the anti-akita forum sentiment were purely in jest :)
I do think Akita influences the forums. How much one man can influence the Eve market is debatable.
I believe there are multiple influences on the market, some of which may not be obvious or quantifiable. Thus, I felt relatively secure while placing my bet. Still amazed why many did not, especially when Akita stacked the odds against himself.
