< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 176 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-10-10    dakgootje: Tough spot, too early for me yet to make psycho-bets but on the other hand taking too little risk might see me end-up just outside the top-10... If only I could cash it out and take a vacation to some sunny island... Mar-10-10    wordfunph: <technical> <dakgootje> you guys in the top 30 are enjoying the best of your chessbookie life.. the most that <loanshark> could give me was $500 huh! life is sometimes unfair.. Mar-10-10    technical draw: then=than Mar-10-10    dakgootje: <you guys in the top 30 are enjoying the best of your chessbookie life..> Oh certainly! No complaints really, but it is not easy! ;D <the most that <loanshark> could give me was $500 huh! life is sometimes unfair..> Just ask yourself, how much would you lend to a guy who owes you 6k already and does not have the plan to pay you back? :P nb: got about 6k tied up in bets currently, so can not say I am not trying!! Mar-10-10    wordfunph: <Just ask yourself, how much would you lend to a guy who owes you 6k already and does not have the plan to pay you back? :P> of course i won't lend him that much BUT chessbookie is only a game and for fun...<loanshark> should be lenient to Negative Dwellers like me. How can we reach the top if he could only offer chicken feeds? he can take the interest..i take my loan. :-) Mar-10-10    dakgootje: well, this really has the looks of a very crappy betting day.. Mar-10-10    technical draw: Well, I may break even today and with the loan the shark foolishly gave me I'll probably have my 10k to splurge on Amber. Nothing but heavy, heavy bets. (that last line from a movie with Sidney Poitier, "Let's Do It Again".) Mar-10-10    dakgootje: heavy bets do have to work out... think I'm on for a loss of like 1500cbucks for today :/ Mar-10-10    moronovich: <dakgootje> Thank you so much ;) Mar-10-10    technical draw: Boy, TD is some mathematician. Just like I predicted above my available funds are now $10,556. Time to bet the house. Mar-11-10    wordfunph: <technical> now you raised your stocks from 29th to.. 26. technical draw 8,416 count your blessings and forget your misfortunes.. :-) may i borrow $2,000 please? Mar-11-10    dakgootje: < Time to bet the house.> Indeed: "Total wagered on live bets: 9700 chessbucks" drop the ball and watch the roulette spin. Mar-11-10    wordfunph: you're indeed lucky <dakgootje> with 9700 bucks. i could only afford 1400 live bucks.. Mar-11-10    wordfunph: <Chessgames Bookie> may i know the prize of winning the 2010 Winter Leg? How about the runner-ups? Thanks. Mar-11-10    dakgootje: only lucky if I make a profit! ;D Loss of around 1100 yesterday :( Best of luck with your bets! Mar-11-10    technical draw: "Total wagered on live bets: 4,950 chessbucks" I have a small house. Mar-11-10    technical draw: Look what the loanshark said: <So technical draw has been having a run of good luck? I think we can extend your credit.> I've never seen that one before. Mar-11-10    dakgootje: Typical... such a big amount totally wagered and initially it seems I will end up with a 2k-ish profit, only for the last couple of games to ruin the day so that I can notate like 350cbucks loss... Have had some really terrible gamble-luck last few weeks lol Mar-12-10    technical draw: A little less today: Total wagered $2,650. Mar-12-10    wordfunph: amber is coming....and pick 3! this will be my last mountain to climb to land in top 80%.. Mar-12-10    technical draw: Early results in, TD is -$500. Mar-12-10    technical draw: More early results, TD is: -500 +1,545 +360 -250 total= +1,155 Mar-12-10    technical draw: Update: +191 -300 Total, +1,046 Mar-12-10    wordfunph: i collected $900.. amber is my last hope! Mar-14-10    SwitchingQuylthulg: Just in case somebody's wondering, Amber Blindfold Rd 4: Pick Three is actually Amber Rapid Rd 4: Pick Three.
