Then you can crow or cry about it here in the future.
I'm not sure I understand the point of your post..There are already a few posters in this thread (me included) who've confessed to "betting" or "playing" the futures "game". A simple read-through of the thread would show that.

If you're asking if any of us have held off the futures then bought 2000's, 2003's or 2005's at auction, I'd suspect a great many savvy wineophiles have done so. The issue at hand is that none of us will be able to take your approach with the 2008's till 2010-2011. ^
