Jul-29-09  malthrope: <Chessgames Bookie: <malthrope> Thanks. We have put up bets based on your info.>

Excellent! Thank You <ChessBookie> :))

The Rapids World Championship, so named the GRENKELEASING, but I give that esteem title to the annual "Amber Rapids & Blindfold Chess Tournament" and any "Blitz Championship" truly belongs with the Tal Memorial Tourneys. This tourney, along with the now concluding 'Biel Chess Festival' are both huge mega Chess events. For example, the 16th Annual ORDIX Open (straight Rapids) taking place in Mainz right now has over 600 players all pre-registered and is very strong at the top (with 10 players rated above 2700 alone!). ORDIX registration info: http://chesstigers.de/ccm9/tourname...

In any event, after the 42nd annual Biel Chess Festival ~SNAFU~ decided to lend yet another hand to help get this event posted in a timely manner to get the tourney links up (as well as the betting involved). Hopefully your comrades over at - chessgames.com chessforum - will do their part... As, I informed them several days ago that the Chess Tigers Chess Classic in Mainz is right around the corner! ~lol~ ;)

My Best, - Mal

Jul-30-09  gunsan: Help me, someone.
When I visit the Chessbookieloanshark for a loan. He says: "No, pay your old loans first!" But I can not do that. It is some kind of "moment 22". What can I do to make him understand?
Jul-31-09  bharatiy: "gunsan" you must be having some bucks wages somewhere. Wait for that bet to settle and you will get fresh money!
Jul-31-09  feripe: There is a mistake in the 5th round bets. Aronian appears in both games.
Jul-31-09  gunsan: Hello "bharatiy"! I was wrongly paid for a bet in the beginning of July. I used that win for new bets. When "Chessbookie" corrected the win to a loose, my account droped to a minus. And now the "loanshark" refuses me. I think it is some bug in the Chessbookieprogram.

  chessgames.com: <gunsan> After a brief investigation we think you might be right, there could be a bug. You seem to be a perfect loan candidate but you are being refused. It seems to have something to do with a mixup between a variable called "maxloan" and other called "loanmax"...

In the meantime, we've given you a 200 chessbuck loan. I'm not sure if that's more or less than what you would be normally afforded, but it sounds about right.

In summary, our programmers are looking into it. We hope to have an answer very soon.

Aug-01-09  gunsan: Thank you "chessgames.com"!
Now I am back on the road again!
Aug-01-09  technical draw: <gunsan> Say hello to Willie Nelson for me.
Aug-01-09  gunsan: (technical draw) Yes I am going to say Hello Willie! But no smoking please, I stoped smoking years ago. :-)
Aug-03-09  wordfunph: <Chessgames Bookie> no betting events today?...ggrrrrr sad day.
Aug-03-09  wordfunph: ahhhh thanks <CG Bookie> for British Championship..
Aug-03-09  gunsan: Praise the Lord! Mr. Chessbookie accepts me!! I can stop go to the real bookies for real money. Bet on Morozevich with real money is not good for my helth. :)

  Chessgames Bookie: You can now wager on the FIDE Grand Prix tournament in Jermuk, Armenia, which starts August 9th: FIDE Grand Prix Jermuk: Winner
Aug-07-09  Winter: <ChessBookie>

How many more days do I have to wait for my reloan? It's been two days since my last bet..

Aug-07-09  Winter: <ChessBookie>

Presently, I have a net worth of 275 and a loan of 120, could you just deduct my loan so I can have my reloan.

I need to bet on GM Short at Staunton Memorial and time is running out.

Thanks...

Aug-07-09  wordfunph: <ChessBookie>

May i know loanshark's guidelines? I'm one of his good clients but it seems that he's not generous to me. He could only afford to lend me $100 to $200 lately and i needed some cash. How about $500-1,000 loan? Thanks <CG Bookie> and more power!

  Chessgames Bookie: <wordfunph> <Winter> Sorry guys, the loanshark works on automatic pilot and can't entertain specific requests. Check out ChessBookie Game Help Page for more info on how he operates.
Aug-09-09  Bradah: Chessbookie, when are you going back to pick three? It helps to get back at your feet when you are down. It adds flavor to just win,lose or draw format.Kinda like betting on boxing.:o)

  Chessgames Bookie: <Bradah> We will be having daily Pick Three's on the Jermuk Grand Prix tournament, starting with the third round: Jermuk Grand Prix: Rd 3: Pick Three
Aug-10-09  wordfunph: Thanks <CG Bookie> for Pick3.

Pick3 is up <Bradah>! Time to rev up and collect chessbucks...good luck!

Aug-10-09  Bradah: Thank you Chessbookie, for putting up my request. You the ONE!!!

Wordfunph, the rush and urge to collect chessbucks is at maximum level. Go bet 'em all. Go for broke.

Aug-12-09  refutor: i saw C$ beside the bets today and i thought you were paying out in Canadian dollars...then i woke up and realize that the C probably stook for "Chessbucks" :)

  Chnebelgrind: I always asked myself, who on earth was betting all the time this small amounts on unlikely looking events. Could it be somebody who just came up from the underground to place 21, winning 3584 chessbucks for a 5 chessbuck ticket in Pick Three?
Aug-14-09  Bradah: Chessbookie, can you raise up the ante to no limit?
Aug-15-09  Winter: <bharatiy: "gunsan" you must be having some bucks wages somewhere. Wait for that bet to settle and you will get fresh money!>

Ah, this was the answer to my problem. Now I know... Thanks <bharatiy>
