< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 345 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-01-15    FSR: <7. FSR 2,098 8. sydbarrett 1,930 9. Avalon Landing 1,917 10. langus 1,909 11. andrgrimes 1,794 12. Pancaniti 1,777 13. WinKing 1,683 14. MarkFinan 1,676> C'mon Mark, step up your bookie game! Aug-01-15    WinKing: <FSR> now that's a 'sweet touché' if ever I saw one. lol Aug-01-15    Penguincw: They've been doing it for a while now. ;) In other news: I see 2700chess and chessdom still have it wrong. :p However, I'm not going to worry about it anymore. ;) Aug-01-15    FSR: Whatever happened to Pick Threes? You haven't had a single one since before your three-Daily-Double binge. And who is <Goalith>? Aug-01-15    Chessgames Bookie: <FSR: Whatever happened to Pick Threes? You haven't had a single one since before your three-Daily-Double binge. > Well, the reason why I haven't included one is I'm afraid there might not be enough interest in them. However, I do see that the pool has consistently been in the quadruple digits, so P3 will return for the next round (although it may be multi-tournament, if that's fine). < And who is <Goalith>? > I have no idea. I'll try arranging the letters to something else (perhaps something that actually makes sense). ;) - Penguin Aug-02-15    MarkFinan: Well done Fred. You're back in the 2000+ league. And Goliath is a play on words because the bet is on DAVID Howell. David and Goliath?? You've never heard that story?? I never hardly went to school and I know of that story, lol. Aug-02-15    Penguincw: A couple of things I'd like to comment on. Firstly, check out the odds for "Draw in 25 moves or under" in Politiken Cup Rd 10: Timman - Naroditsky. 13:1 for a short last round draw (seriously?)! I also see a <six> way tie for Politiken Cup: WINNER coming; is that a record? As for the HZ Chess Tournament, I see there could be some PGN issues on the lower boards. However, I only need the results, so I can rely on chess-results for that. I see there's a draw on Board 10, so that should clear up the bets. Aug-02-15    FSR: <MarkFinan> I know about Goliath. The bookie, before correcting it, had "David and <Goalith>" - not Goliath. Aug-02-15    Penguincw: On a side note, in the David and (whatever) story, isn't David actually the underdog? If that's the case, then I see that here, he's the favourite, facing underdogs... (oh, and if you're wondering, I'm holding off some bets until chess-results posts all the results for the round, just to be safe; thanks for your patience, and sorry for any inconvenience) Aug-02-15    FSR: Yes, here David is also Goliath. Aug-02-15    Penguincw: Yeah, let's hope this never happens again. Politiken Cup: WINNER Also check out what happens when you click "Longer list" for more events. D: So, tell me about the odds you received. Probably record for largest tie, and one of the few times where more than half of the lines win. Aug-02-15    FSR: <4. FSR 2,548 5. tesasembiring 2,424 6. Chnebelgrind 2,375 7. greenrook 2,256 8. kupton 2,240 9. sydbarrett 2,030 10. Avalon Landing 1,917 11. langus 1,909 12. andrgrimes 1,794 13. Pancaniti 1,777 14. WinKing 1,754 15. 1 2 3 4 1,598 16. MarkFinan 1,427> Step it up, Mark. Aug-03-15    FSR: R. Pert-Arkell was drawn in 24, thus deciding the "Civic Holiday" bet. Aug-03-15    Penguincw: Not to mention Hawkins-Hill ends in 1-0 after just 21 moves. :) Aug-03-15    MarkFinan: Fred. I lost on that one too. If Howell loses, which is looking likely, I have the B-D-D ticket. Aug-03-15    FSR: It looks like Howell will lose soon, thus deciding both the Pick Three and the David and Goliath wagers. Aug-03-15    MarkFinan: Ahhh! I forgot about that wager. Howell just flagged so I should still rejoin the 2000+ posse. Aug-03-15    Penguincw: I never realized how many good bets I could've put up, had I knew more. For instance, Summerscale-Emms ended with 99...Kxe5. What a thrill an "Epic Game" bet could've made. Now time to wait for the next round pairings (which usually don't come out until I have to leave and don't have access to the Internet). Aug-03-15    WannaBe: <Penguincw> Take Biel as an example, if, before the tournament started, "Would there be an epic game" wager would have attracted $$ from me. For some odd reason, I just get a kick out of game(s) that feature two combatants that just refuse to quit. And will fight it out down to bare King v. King. =)) Especially if a tournament have someone as "stubborn" Carlsen, he'd fight on until that .15 become .46 then .89 and win the darn game. Aug-03-15    MarkFinan: <<(1) SwitchingQuylthulg 4,388 <(2) FSR 2,799 (3) landogriffin 2,702 (4) rgr459 2,554 (5) tesasembiring 2,459 (6) greenrook 2,256 (7) kupton 2,210 (8) Chnebelgrind 2,093 (9) MarkFinan 1,935>>>> Frederico's stepping up to the ceegee bookie plate, I may need to become a lawman and cease with my wicked ways, lol. <For some odd reason, I just get a kick out of game(s) that feature two combatants that just refuse to quit. And will fight it out down to bare King v. King.> Me too but that's because we're old, lol. Kids nowadays want 20 move theoretical 0.0000000000 eval draws. Even I want Karpov to attempt a comeback :) Aug-03-15    MarkFinan: <SETTLEMENT DATE: Aug-03-15 PROJECTED PAYOUT: 762 (151:1) British Chess Championship Rd 7: Pick Three Black-Draw-Draw YOU WIN! COLLECT 762 5c$ [cash in ticket]> Don't get jel jel, Frederick. Lol. And if my mate Antik can win today I'll be overtaking you. You could write on the back of a stamp what I actually know about the bloke, but I like his name. Lol :) Aug-03-15    sydbarrett: I very often bid in bets with little activity and which thus have very high payoffs. But I saw no chance in hell that Howell would lose as white to such a low-rated player, so i didn't bother bidding black-draw-draw. I swear I usually would. Part of that jackpot is mine, I tell ya. $%! Aug-03-15    FSR: <sydbarrett> I thought that one was wildly improbable, but luckily I threw a couple of bucks on it. Ya never know. Aug-04-15    Chessgames Bookie: ♔ ANNOUNCEMENT/NOTICE ♔ This here is an announcement/notice. In a couple of days, the Russian Superfinal tournament will start. This tournament will be the main tournament until the Sinquefield Cup. With that in mind, does anyone know a better site for it than http://ruchess.ru/en/? They haven't released anything about the tournament itself, and I'd like to get a "WINNER" bet open. The schedule of the tournament will also determine when <Pay Day> will be. If anyone has information that would be helpful, that'd be much appreciated. Thanks. :) - Penguin Aug-04-15    FSR: Williams beat Hebden. http://www.chessdom.com/102nd-briti...
