< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 151 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-14-09    Chessgames Bookie: <brankat> We are scaling down the betting propositions for the remainder of the Grand Prix to just the tournament leaders' games. There will be daily pick three bets on the Amber tournament. Mar-15-09    Touch of Knight: <Chessgames Bookie> Round #8 of - FIDE Women's Grand Prix (2009) – is due today, March 15, not tomorrow. Betting should close accordingly. Mar-15-09    chessmoron: <Touch of Knight> Actually it is tomorrow. I believe chessbase report is WRONG. http://istanbul2009.fide.com/tourvi... Mar-15-09    WannaBe: ChessBookie should offer Over/Under on how many Cubans defects after the World Baseball Classics ends. I'd put the O/U at 4 1/2. =) Mar-15-09    wolfmaster: <Wannabe> I'll take over. I figure it'll be 5 3/4. Mar-17-09    Annie K.: <Bookie> since tomorrow's a day off at Amber, could we have a pick-3 for the Women's Grand Prix please? :) Mar-18-09    Chessgames Bookie: <Annie K>. Too late for a 10th round Pick Three, but we added one for the final round. Grand Prix Istanbul: Rd 11: Pick Three Mar-18-09    Annie K.: Better late than never! Thanks. :) Mar-20-09    wordfunph: <Touch of Knight> What's your secret why you have $53,114 compared to my precious $2,000+? Mar-21-09    Touch of Knight: <wordfunph> There are no secrets. I just make heavy bets from time to time, close my eyes and pray to Caissa. :) I had a good grasp on Corus and Linares (i.e. I had extreme luck), but I’m afraid I don’t understand Amber and how to keep <holland oats> at bay. Mar-22-09    TITIKIZA: <Chessgames Bookie:> When are we geeting our chessbucks for women's Grand prix? Mar-22-09    Chessgames Bookie: <TITIKIZA> Forgot about that one, sorry. Tickets have been paid off now. Mar-23-09    wolfmaster: <Chessgames Bookie> How 'bout we have a contest for who we think will win the Spring Leg of Chessgames Bookie? holland oats or Touch of Knight or other? Mar-23-09    Chessgames Bookie: We would like to remind everyone that the 2009 Chessbookie Championship will conclude on March 26, with wagering propositions on the final round of the Amber tournament. Good luck to all! Mar-24-09    hairmajorchair: <wolfmaster> It would create an interesting paradox if they wager on each other. Mar-25-09    technical draw: This is it! Last chance...Bet it all...I have 2 chances of getting to third place, slim and none, but I'm betting everything. No point in saving since there's no tomorrow!....Good luck to all! Mar-26-09    Chnebelgrind: <bet it all> I did Mar-26-09    DCP23: I started this Chessbookie season with just C$1000 and turned it into a staggering C$17,159. It's only an 8th place overall but all the names around me on the leaderboard are the elitists who started on C$10,000. Mar-26-09    Chessgames Bookie: Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please. Finishing with a whopping 54,230 chessbucks, User: holland oats is the < ♔ The 2009 Chess Bookie Champion of the World ♔ > He will receive a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate for chess books (or whatever tickles his fancy), as well as a free TWO year membership to Chessgames.com.

But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold! Mar-26-09    DCP23: <holland oats> You are of the financial elite! You got a jump-start, a government subsidy! 10,000 Chessbucks! I made it from the slums to the top! I'm self-made! I'm the People's Champion!!! Mar-26-09    holland oats: That's certainly worth something in my book <DCP23>. Too bad we couldn't cash-out for real, but then again how many people would be crazy enough to put up 1,000 or 10,000 of their own dollars gambling on chess? At least you get the springboard of 10k for the next time around. Good luck, you'll need it ;-) Mar-26-09    DCP23: <holland oats> Thanks! You won't run away this easy next time, however! ;) Mar-26-09    technical draw: Congratulations to holland oats and all the other winners! Heck I thought Wheaties was the breakfast of champions. I got duped again! Mar-27-09    Touch of Knight: <holland oats> Congratulations! I didn’t know how to treat Amber, but obviously you did. A well deserved win!
