I like their business model, too. Charge a transaction fee for a trade. This is way more fun than looking at my real portfolio. rapidshare file search

haha.. Not likely.. the market has been up for weeks and you would be ecstatic if you were a real user actually trading right now. Appears to be another competitor trying to ice the momentum and positive press oneseason is receiving.

Anyone who is actually participating in the site knows this.. Looks like it’s back to the drawing board for you..

I can’t believe I let myself get suckered into spending time at OneSeason.com. Investing in nothing … there’s a novel idea.

I just sold all my shares and requested payment. What a waste of my time and money.

Congrats OneSeason. This is great news. Good to see OneSeason growing. For you that think it’s stupid – just don’t do it. For those that are interested, it’s kinda fun.

There are currently 3rd party applications in the works to tie in “performance” to your SOI’s. OneSeason can’t do this themselves because that would make them illegal. They are simply the trading platform.

guest, you don’t think they did their homework before plopping down $3.5M? You think spending 20 seconds typing uninformed nonsense is supposed to be groundbreaking insight? Brilliant. You win at the internet.

I hope CRV really did their homework on it. This can either be classified as sports gambling or a securities market. If its sports gambling, its illegal…at least for US residents. If this is a “securities” market, which is what it appears the site is arguing it is, then by not being regulated and registered with government regulators they will be able to shut these guys down with very little notice.

No – it’s not Madoff, because there’s no pretense to what it is.

The biggest challenge is – is there an intrinsic value to a bit of virtual stock?

Possibly – a baseball card has no intrinsic value other than the fact that someone else wants it.

And why do people want it – for a collection, to show off, to show support for a hero, because they’re insane, etc. – but some people want it.

The same could be true for a virtual player card which is what you are in effect buying.

The biggest problem is of course the potential for regulation, and the negative stories when the first granny loses a grand…

I have been a member since day 5 of the website’s launch date and I have to admit I spent quite a bit of time watching my stocks, especially when they were over $20/share. I even put an auto reload page add on to my Firefox browser to snag some new IPOs (business is business!). I think the site has what it takes to make it but there is a lot of fine tuning that should be done. In my opinion there should be some kind of dividends paid out when a player does well. Also there should be a cap on the amount of times a player can split. After reading some of these comments, one person was right, if they keep splitting and keep allowing to give our more and more shares, the demand will be gone. Let some people boast to others that they have certain players, this should increase the value more.

Again, this is just my two cents.

So…p2p betting again. What’s new? is gambling, you are not getting any asset (not even virtual, is b%^&t that they call it a virtual something to represent the money you bet) and you are betting on the virtual value of a real figure, if it goes up you gain and if not you loose, is not related to any real life result, is not the score of a game or if rains tomorrow, is just what all the other gamblers are betting. What is the difference with betting on the result of a roulette that it will be higher than X or lower than Y for example? If you were right and it was higher than X you gain, here if the value goes up you win but is pure luck, no brain.

Hi “Mike” – It appears is if you keep checking back flooding this board with thoughtless negative comments. I wanted to ask you why. Do you happen to work for a competitor? What is there for you to gain from spending so much time here making comments? A bit bizarre.. Probably worth looking into..

I am a user at oneseason and can vouch for how much fun it is. I have not made a ton of money but have made some, and have had a lot of fun. It’s a really cool idea. I wouldn’t spend my life savings.. I feel like it’s more entertainment than anything. I spent $40 at the movies last night for God’s sake! At least this has the potenial of giving me something in return and is as entertaining as Brad Pitt playing a man aging backwards..

I see them around for a long time, but I’m not an expert. Good luck.
