Finn Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Need some advice on finding a room in downtown chicago from the 21 - 25th of april. Would prefer to stay either in loop/michigan avenue/river north area. Preferably somewhere nice and would prefer to pay less than $70/nite if possible. Any advice on what to do?

DDSeeker Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Thereuare,I like your use of this "permutation" strategy when a bidder is indifferent to several Priceline zones.My question is this: Why didn't you use a River North/Loop bid? Did you mistakenly leave this off, or is there a statistical reason for this omission?
thereuare Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Both River North and Loop bids were covered in the other 'dual zone' bids.If started with River North and Loop and raised bids over previous strategies, you miss out on the possibility of those prices being accepted in the NMA zone?That's the short answer, but if you still have questions i'll explain in more detail.
