New E-mail alerts for closed (judged) predictions

Today we rolled out a new E-mail alert so that when a prediction is judged on the site, players that had open bets with the prediction that was judged will be notified. 

For example, let's say I had bet S$10,000 on the Dow Jones Index prediction.   Then, something occurred in the market that triggered an early judgment, but I was away from the site that day.  I would then receive an E-mail within a ten minute timeframe of the judgment letting me know that the prediction had been decided.  If I'm curious as to how I performed, I can go to the site to learn the results by clicking a handy link in the E-mail.

If, for some reason, I didn't want this type of E-mail alert, I could always go to my notifications screen and disable the service.  We plan on making a mobile version of the same alert in the very near future.

Kudos! It worked like a charm on the Joost bet (yeah, I got back in for a quick +2% on a meager bet). Any idea when SMS alerts may happen? At least with SMS, I do not have to poll email to be notified as periodic email polling on my phone is a major battery hog.
