May-19-11		TITIKIZA: how are we going to bet when chessbookie is not giving us our winnings?

May-20-11		Penguincw: < wordfunph: hmmmm...$3,600 loan by <wally> for Gelfy? may we hear from <wally> please? :) > He's right here: User: wallytherhino. However,he doesn't seem to have a forum right now so this page is useless, wallytherhino chessforum

May-21-11		technical draw: Wallytherhino is winning because he has a real gambler's name. From now on I'm calling myself technical "Texas" draw. With that name I'm sure to be a winner.

May-23-11		Penguincw: Hmm. Why aren't the Nakamura-Ponomariov and Finegold-Robson matches aren't paid off. In the betting info window, it states < "Only the 6 classical games are considered for purposes of this bet." > And, they're over now. Nakamura beat Ponomariov 3 1/2-2 1/2 and Robson beat Finegold 4-2.

May-25-11		David2009: Wally if you read this congratulations! Please open your forum wallytherhino chessforum - so we can pester you to share your secrets! Beginners luck: I am up 600 backing Gelfand vs Grischuk, 2011 for a win either way, see also World Championship Candidates Final (2011)

May-26-11		Penguincw: Can you please pay off the rapid games for Nakamura-Ponomariov and Finegold-Robson. They were supposed to be paid off 2 days ago. Nakamura beat Ponomariov and Robson tied Finegold. Thank you in advance.

May-28-11		Penguincw: Finally the tickets are paid off. And with a new event too. Leon: Anand-Shirov Match: Winner.

May-30-11		AnimusEtOblivio: Fantastic betting Wally; A leg well dominated!

May-30-11		Golden Executive: <technical draw> <: Wallytherhino is winning because he has a real gambler's name. From now on I'm calling myself technical "Texas" draw. With that name I'm sure to be a winner.> I will try with Golden 777. As a matter of fact, my funds right now are 777 chessbucks and my last post was intended to my good friend <cro777>

May-30-11		wordfunph: may we hear from unreachable <wally>?

Jun-01-11		Boratco: It's the mating season for the rhino, the sign clearly says: DO NOT DISTURB!!.:d

Jun-03-11		Sneaky: I can't recall any other leg being such an utter blowout. I think if wally simply stopped playing altogether it's mathematically impossible for us to catch him!

Jun-03-11		wordfunph: <CG Bookie> when does this leg end?

Jun-04-11		Chessgames Bookie: <wordfunph> Sometime around the end of this month.

Jun-04-11		wordfunph: <CG Bookie> thank you.

Jun-06-11		eternaloptimist: @Animus: i agree completely! it will be tough for anyone to catch wally but not impossible. in the last leg i remember that you passed the 2 touches & won the chessbookie world championship. it looked like it was <ALMOST> certain that 1 of them would win it but you had an amazing run at the end of the leg & captured the championship.

Jun-09-11		wordfunph: <CG Bookie> how 'bout Sigeman round 2? So - Shirov Hector - Tikkanen Giri - Grandelius http://www.sigeman-chess.com/en#

Jun-13-11		technical draw: Well TD picks up $3,102 cbs this round. Maybe enough to get back on the leaderboard.

Jun-13-11		Boratco: Three winners of the 19th Sigeman & Co tournament, anybody lucky to have picked, So, Giri, Tikkenen? I wonder how Chessbookie calculates the pay out now.:D)
