Jan-12-10  gus inn: I agree with <NakoSonorense> And would like to add that the 10.000 possibilite is more favourable to luck than the IMO more natural/logical 2.000 for one bet. But anyway, you guys are doing a tremendous job!Thanks.
Jan-12-10  zanshin: <Touch of Knight: I have first hand evidence that the bug hasn’t been fixed. And I don’t mind because it leaves people like me a possibility to hide in shame.>

<ToK> Me too! I took advantage of this when my countrymen started posting results of Filipino members in the Wesley So forum :-P I haven't made a bet since ...

Jan-15-10  technical draw: Hey, I'm on the leader board. Ok, so I'm the last one and with only a $951 gain. Howsomever, Corus is coming up and the REAL betting will start and at least I have COH (cash on hand). The climb starts tomorrow.

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> I'm pretty sure Lékó-Shirov was 0-1...
Jan-16-10  notyetagm: <BOOKIE> We want to bet on Giri's games.
Jan-19-10  technical draw: Man, I lost 1400 cb's in the last round. Well I still have my 10k but it's getting late.

  Chessgames Bookie: <SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> So vs. Harikrishna was a draw, no?> Sorry about that, it's corrected now. The usual policies apply (winners lose their money, discarded tickets return to your account, etc.)
Jan-21-10  refutor: i'm tempted to bet on shirov over short and stop his winning streak ;)

  SwitchingQuylthulg: Something fishy with Corus B Rd 6: Ni vs Giri - we already had Corus B Rd 4: Ni vs Giri ...

Today is actually Nybäck vs Giri.

  Chessgames Bookie: <SwitchingQuylthulg> Thanks, all tickets on that bet have been refunded.
Jan-24-10  technical draw: It's important to finish in the top ten because that will qualify you for next year's championship leg-which means I'm running out of steam and only hoping for a top ten finish.
Jan-25-10  technical draw: <Jan 8,> <Bradah: <wallytherhino> Do I hear Game Over?>

How quickly the mighty fall! Mr. Rhino was prematurely crowned as the new champion on Jan 8. but today he is in 290th place with a measly 9 CB's to his name. So it really ain't over til it's over. Place your bets!

Jan-26-10  capatal: <Chessgames Bookie> My Round#10 Pick Three bets of (BBW 1000), (DBW 1000) and (BWW 520) were accidentally placed on Round#11!

Will you transfer my erroneous Pick Three bets of Round#11 to my intended Round#10 placement of these three bets?

It's my error and I greatly appreciate your assistance, *if it can be done equitably*.

Thank you,
capatal

Jan-27-10  capatal: Please disregard last request - Rules are rules and <chessgames.com> high standards and values benefit everyone.

  eternaloptimist: good job whatthefat! just a few days ago u were just a little above me in the standings. now u have cracked the top 10!
Jan-27-10  whatthefat: <eternaloptimist>

Thanks! I've changed my betting strategy this season, and for now it seems to be working out much better.

Jan-28-10  dakgootje: <capatal> What are your picks for tomorrow's games please? ;D
Jan-28-10  Winter: Very impressive indeed, <whatthefat>! Just click my avatar to see that your new strategy really works.

<moronovich>, <malthrope>, <gunsan> and <dakgootje> are doing just fine.

<Barok E.> and <Switch> suffered much in the last two rounds.

Good luck!

Jan-28-10  wordfunph: <Corus B Rd 11: So vs Giri : So [info] 150 LIVE BET 8:7 2.15 322 Jan-29-10>

  eternaloptimist: <whatthefat> u r welcome. your new betting strategy is working out brilliantly indeed. would u want to share it w/ me? ; ) nah, i'm sure u wouldn't want to do that.
Jan-28-10  dakgootje: <eternaloptimist>

I personally tried different strategies in the past and now, in the past few weeks, I went from 50 chessbucks to little over 9k.

The secret is: the less research the better

;D
