putting a positive spin on all this - at least if you have a roll on line its value is going up and winning means more!?!?!?!!?!
ok so it sucks - but will be nice to ship a WSOP seat this year if the intention is to cash out!

Is it just total guesswork basically
That's basically how financial markets work. |

That's basically how financial markets work. in theory it should be a random walk (ie equal probabilities of going up and down) because of arbitrage agents buying/selling as soon as info comes out that suggests differently. in practice, info isnt perfect and it takes a bit of time for info to be dispersed through the system. however, any info you get from reading the paper or watching the news is not enough to give you an edge on what the big money movers are doing - they have more info so will make better decisions so you have no idea if its going up or down. id buy just before i go and sell as soon as i get back to attempt to avoid massive swings |

Buying low and selling high is a rather good modus operandum.

Here's a thought, if you've got a neteller account.
Deposit now onto pokerstars. Todays rate is £1 = $1.43 then when you're near departure date, transfer to Neteller (I think they transfer at whatever the rate is with no commision) then withdraw english £ from Neteller and transfer to $ using bank of some sort.
That way if the rate goes down from now until the time you go, you'll already have compensated for the difference. Basically locking in todays rate. Obviously the down side is if the rate goes up.
That theory sounds good in my head.
Any thoughts
