I gave that idea some very serious long term consideration many months ago... there are several problems with it... for starters, I think using more than a 3X on any given day would skewer the data to distortion, it would not be within the spirit of the game... it would be more like rolling the dice on "all or none" and less of a test of "ability" to predict over the longer term... besides, if you went with a 15X for tomorrow and were wrong, then you would already be out of the contest, or if you were right, then you would own the top ranking with no real chance for any one to catch up unless they were correct 100% of the time with all their 3X predictions... all in all, I don't see how it could work well...
