It will be interesting to see if this game appears again
I gave it a shot and quite frankly did not have a clue how to play (I suspect 99% of entrants were in the same boat).
Timmsy did you have a clue from the start or are you just a quick learner ? - I recall you had a whopping profit in the first week or so.
This must go down as the 'easiest*' and biggest FF related win ever - go straight to the top of the 'All Time Hall of Fame' Timmsy!
*Or did you spend days stuyding the property markets
I also wonder if more fantasy games/competitions will start to spring up - anyone for Crime and Disorder Hotspots 2009

When asked by Matt at Fantasy League I told him I used the Ian Dowie Principle of "Bouncebackability" picking those properties that had dropped in value sadly I did spend a fair bit of time studying form and scouring the internet
I also cross referenced their worst and best months, I won month one and if I remember correctly I was still top month two, dropping to my lowest position of sixty something in three and then back up to the top three for months 4 & 5
When Twickenham shot up about 60k in month three I thought my chance had gone, and felt a bit hard done by that my consistently profitable portfolio was beaten by a one off increase, however the one's that made those profits failed to sell Twickenham and mostly had their profits wiped out
Whilst I don't think other Fantasy Games experience was a big a help as in some games it did really play a part
I do feel really sorry for the Rachel in second place especially as she gets nothing for second place, when we were in month six the only property I could see with a history of increases to give me a chance was London North and I was somewhat surprised she made her changes well before the deadline given you could view each other's portfolio
