  brankat: <wordfunph> Thank You my friend! I almost missed it. Who knows, perhaps I should have :-)
Mar-10-12  Penguincw: I've been keeping track of all the bets and wagers and stuff and realized this.

This is the 200th bet of the season:

European Individual Women's Championship: Rd 8: Sebag vs Khurtsidze

Only a small pool of 1,193.

Outcome,pool,fraction,decimal
Sebag,425,7:4,2.72
Khurtsidze,210,9:4,5.45
Draw,558,1:1,2.10

Mar-10-12  Penguincw: Don't forget to pay us! Some of us (*cough* *cough* me!) could really use some chessbucks to wager on the last round of the European Individual Women's Championship (2012) (even though bets aren't out yet; pairings: http://eiwcc2012.tsf.org.tr/compone...). :)

Reykjavik pick 3 please, i hate to be in the Negative Brigade.

  brankat: <Chessgames Bookie> There are still 3 rounds left in the Women's Championship event. So far only WIN bets have been available.

It would be nice to Pick(up)-3 girls in the last 3 rounds :-)

Mar-12-12  Penguincw: Looks to be another late pay day. Not that I really am going to bet in the last round. Something tells me about not betting in the last round, somewhere.

  brankat: <Bhessgames Bookie> Actually I was wrong in my previous post. There is only 1 round left (#11), not three. Sorry about that.

Yet another good reason to have Pick-3!

  wordfunph: <brankat> secret :)

i bet $2000 that tomorrow's paycheck will again be late, any takers? hehe bad joke :)

go <Chessgames Bookie>!

Mar-13-12  Penguincw: Betting has been really low recently. Just 564 chessbucks on 5 bets, average about 112. The second lowest turnout ever was Round 9, of the same tournament, but it still had more than 3,000 chessbucks put on it.
Mar-13-12  SloVice: Whew. I was sweating it for awhile. Now I might be able to stay in the top 10.

Congrats to Caruana.

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <Robin01> Most likely on March 31 (last round of EICC 2012) :)
Mar-13-12  Penguincw: I thought it ended on April Fool's Day, or is that the closing ceremony?
