Nfl Betting Spread Mike Merren of Climax:
We are under NDA with Nintendo, so if we did have information we couldn't share it I'm afraid. As far as features are concerned - well, wireless networking, lots of memory, a powerful 3D Graphics processor, fast CPU, standard things really.

New spread betting concept from Sporting Index which has much lower stakes, simple language instructions and you can open an account and start betting in 5 minutes.

Commodity Spread Trading James Daniels of Apex Designs:
I haven't spoken to Nintendo, but I'd like to see proper 3D hardware, lower media manufacturing costs (this might mean switching away from cartridges, but there are a lot of problems associated with that) and a marketing strategy that targets a wider age range.

Betting Exchange Spread Karthik Bala of Vicarious Visions:
If the GBA 2 was a shrunk down Gamecube, we'd be ecstatic. :) The PSP is in effect as powerful as a PS2. If the GBA 2 was a handheld Gamecube, it would be more powerful than PSP, be backward compatible with Gamecube software out there and make it really easy for developers to jump on board. But then again, this is what NEC did with TurboGrafix, and look where it got them...

Mat Hopwood of Pocketeers:
We have no idea what GBA 2 will be like and have not been contacted by Nintendo about it. However, in my opinion, GBA 2 should contain hardware at least on par with PSP and should absolutely deviate from the cart based storage system.

This is where spread betting can be so profitable. For every punter backing him to win, letting the bet run and losing every single time, there are spread punters out there who know that one in every three times they back O'Hern on finishing positions they will bank an average of nearly 20 times their stake, and only lose that amount one in five. You don't need to be a mathematician to see why O'Hern is a popular choice for those who spread bet.

Advanced Commodity Spread Tom Crago of Tantalus:
I've not heard anything about a GBA 2. I hope it has wireless functionality and a good battery life. I also hope the media for the device takes us away from the cartridge model.

You can bet as little as 1p per point on many markets, meaning BetHiLo is the perfect site to hone your spread betting skills before venturing out and making larger bets. The bet placement process is slightly different, too. With Sporting Index you simply say whether you want to 'Buy' or 'Sell' a given spread, but with BetHiLo, they use more straightforward terminology, using 'Higher' or 'Lower', understand stake selection screen. When you enter your stake per point, the site tells you how much your maximum win and (probably more importantly for spread betting beginners) your maximum loss would be if you bet at that stake. It means you can adjust your stake until you find a liability you are happy with before you bet ( odds betting, where you know what you're risking when you place your bet).

Stock Spread Trading Vince Valenti of JV Games:
Personally, whether the GBA2 comes out sooner or later will depend on what happens to the DS. If the DS is a success, they would be foolish to put out the GBA2 too soon. If the DS fails, then hype on the GBA2 should start quickly. Despite the fact that the DS is not considered the next GBA, if it is a success the public WILL perceive as the successor to the GBA.

Betting Horse Racing Spread As of yet, we have not been contacted by Nintendo for the GBA2, I think they are focusing much more on the success of the DS in the short term.

We have no idea what future Nintendo systems will be like, but hopefully it will be competitive to the PSP from a technical point of view.
