Oct-10-11  dakgootje: [complaining]

It was looking so good, Aronian had won - and both other boards with drawable positions. Going to be a good day - up over 2k on a very small bankroll.

So Ivanchuk did not manage to keep the draw. Well, the position would complicated. Shame, but no worries, should still make 500+.

And then Naka flagged in a drawish position. Can you say loss on the day? I'm doomed or something. [/complaining]

Hello mister Loanshark! Isn't your hair just ever so pretty today!

  Chnebelgrind: how about betting on the unive games?
pairings at http://www.univechess.nl/deelnemers...
Oct-19-11  technical draw: Hey, Mr. Bookie I have an idea that will make you more money.

When a bet is selected the wager window goes to zero. Which means we have to remove that zero first and then make our bet. Can't you just leave the bet window empty so we can just proceed to enter our cb amounts? I Hope understand what I mean because I haven't had a beer yet.

Oct-19-11  hms123: <TD> you don't have to remove the zero. You just enter numbers after it.
Oct-19-11  technical draw: Thanks, <hms123> I don't like it that way. It's against my esthetics . I never really know how much I'm betting. So I say , Out with the Zero!
Oct-20-11  Everyone: Algorithms don't learn from experience, humans do (well, sort of).
Oct-20-11  wordfunph: <CG Bookie> hoping for Pick 2 in Unive, thanks.

to my fellow cellar dwellers, fight!

  Chnebelgrind: <Pick 2> would be fine! The so-called "perfecta".
Oct-26-11  Beholder: Will the <Unive: WINNER> bet <settlement date Oct-22-11> *EVER* be payed out?

What's the point of this so-called "settlement date" anyway, to maximize frustration?

What about the loanshark's %%%?

This game makes sense only as long as everyone plays by the rules, chessbookie included.

Any minute now, I expect someone to step up and say, "Sorry, you are in the wrong place."

Oct-27-11  wordfunph: <TheFocus> at $4,782 i believe you're almost assured of top ten finish, just hang on and hope you make it to the Hall of Fame.

focus <TheFocus> go!

Oct-27-11  TheFocus: Thanks <word>. Better luck to you next time.

And it looks like most of the "bottom-dwellers" have all been in Top Ten in previous legs!

  Chessgames Bookie: We have opened wagering on the winners of the Open and Women's sections of the European Team Chess Championships: ChessBookie Game
Nov-05-11  Daisuki: Is it normal to have bets closed and net worth updated without getting access to funds previously in now-closed bets (with changes for wins and losses, of course)? I won't be able to bet on round 3 if I don't get my funds in the next five hours...
Nov-05-11  Daisuki: Just to clarify, I'm not exactly complaining. I am just unaware of how long this tends to take, given that I only started yesterday. I'll hope for the best!
Nov-05-11  Daisuki: Ah, I see now. You have to manually deal with each ticket. Very strange. I'd rather just have a summary of results, but okay. Sorry.
Nov-09-11  moulicules: to Administrator:the score of Armenia vs. Russia of European Women round 7 results 1.5-2.5 Russia won! why i lost when i bet Russia 200 chessbucks!
Nov-09-11  moulicules: to Administrator:
The score of Armenia vs. Russia of European Women round 7 results 1.5-2.5 Russia won! why i lost when i bet Russia 200 chessbucks! I think your got the wrong score!!
Nov-09-11  WinKing: I think those of us who bet Russia in the Women's section of the European CC are owed some money. I bet 100 chessbucks on the Russia women.
Nov-09-11  WinKing: Russia women won 2.5 - 1.5 against Armenia.
