< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 11 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-12-06    Sneaky: OK Yelena I put 100 chessbucks on your game. Don't let me down! You got the White pieces, throw your meanest serve! Apr-12-06    lostemperor: There are 9 chessbucks on Kozul. I know from whom two of those bucks are! I hope he can keep a first place :) $1 pays out $582 if he keeps a sole first place. Apr-12-06    lostemperor: <themadhair> all dirty tricks are allowed I guess :) Apr-12-06    themadhair: <all dirty tricks are allowed I guess :)> In that case have I got a tip for you my son. Put your chessbucks on Dembo :) Apr-12-06    iron maiden: <zb2cr> I replied on my chessforum. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Apr-12-06    Sneaky: You meant to link here - iron maiden chessforum Apr-12-06    Chessgames Bookie: By popular demand, we now have a page that shows the complete standings: ChessBookie Standings. Not every chessgames user appears on this page (it would be far too long), so we consider 'contestants' as chessgames members who have purchased tickets. By that measure, there are 371 contestants and more signing up daily. Apr-12-06    suenteus po 147: <Chessgames Bookie> Thanks! I'm 128th place! Woo HOO! Apr-12-06    WannaBe: I'm 201st!! I'm 201st!!! :-) Apr-12-06    themadhair: Chessbookie - how much chessbucks were there in total to begin with, and how much juice have you earned? Apr-12-06    WannaBe: <Chessgames.com> Where do you guys find these picture? Some are very cool! Apr-12-06    Chessgames Bookie: <WannaBe: <Chessgames.com> Where do you guys find these picture? Some are very cool!> Chessgames subscribes to a clip-art service with lots of fun photos like these gamblers that we've never been able to use until now. <<themadhair> Chessbookie - how much chessbucks were there in total to begin with> Roughly 50,000 users x 1000 chessbucks = 50 million chessbucks. However 99% of the members don't play the game, so their chessbucks are not really part of the economy. I would estimate about 370,000 chessbucks are being gambled with currently. There is 90,000 chessbucks invested right now on outstanding bets. <and how much juice have you earned?> I make a comfortable living. ;-) Apr-12-06    WannaBe: See that Ceeeeegar he has? Probably Cuban! Apr-13-06    midknightblue: hello, lost every bet so far, and I am down to my last chess buck. No worries, I paid a visit to the friendly loanshark and now i have 101 chess bucks to play with. Put it all down on Ivanchuk's opponent, so I will be back to even if I win this bet. If I lose, speak well of me if I am not heard from again. Apr-13-06    NakoSonorense: chessgames boogie: if you take a loan for 99 chessbucks, shylock is not going to charge you interest, is he? Apr-13-06    WannaBe: chessgames boogie? Must be a new dance craze that I don't know about. :) Apr-13-06    NakoSonorense: oops. i just realized it's bookie, not boogie! :) Apr-13-06    Chessgames Bookie: From ChessBookie Game Help Page <If your loan is less than 100 chessbucks, the loanshark will charge you 1/day.> Apr-13-06    lostemperor: <Chessgames Bookie> how can someone (natrix) be -771? I thought you can only borrow $500 maximum. Even with interest it couldn't be -771 yet. Apr-13-06    lostemperor: Maybe it's that "repay loan" discussed at the helppage? Apr-13-06    cu8sfan: <how can someone (natrix) be -771? I thought you can only borrow $500 maximum.> I think you can only borrow 500$ on one day. Go back to loanshark a couple of days later and he'll offer you some more. Apr-13-06    percyblakeney: Today I hope for a three-move draw in Kozul-Naiditsch. This ChessBookie game has suddenly made me see short draws in a different light :-) Apr-13-06    lostemperor: I'm sure glad it's a virtual loanshark or some must go into hiding. Apr-13-06    themadhair: When do the games today kick off? Apr-13-06    percyblakeney: <themadhair> They have already been kicking for a while, even if Anastasian and Izoria got tired of it after 9 moves.
