Thanks      Dec-26-20 Sargon chessforum    Chessgames Bookie: Sargon, Could we get an adminstrator to close out the Fall Leg of the Chessbookie? Prizes and reset all to $1000, or more if we're not going to get a mid-leg payday?

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 216 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-21-11    moulicules: Administrator: Hou vs Koneru round 5 not yet settled. right now, got no chessbucks to bet! Thanks! Nov-24-11    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> There's a problem with this round's pick three: <Pick the correct result of three games from the 9th round of the Tal Memorial to win. Game 1 is Nakamura vs Carlsen, game 2 is Karjakin vs Ivanchuk, and game 3 is Nepomniachtchi vs Kramnik. For example, if you choose White-Black-Draw, you will win if Nakamura beats Carlsen, Ivanchuk beats Karjakin, and Nepomniachtchi draws Kramnik. > There is no Nepomniachtchi-Kramnik game this round. (Worse still, there's one game with Nepo as White, and another with Kramnik as Black, so it's impossible to tell which game is meant.) Nov-25-11    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Chessgames Bookie: I think it will be most fair if we now treat this like a daily double.> First pick three ever with multiple winners? ;-) Nov-25-11    chessgames.com: Sorry about the erroneous game on Tal Memorial: Rd 9: Pick Three. Because the first two games are valid (Game 1 is Nakamura vs Carlsen, game 2 is Karjakin vs Ivanchuk) I think it will be most fair if we now treat this like a daily double. In other words, all tickets of the variety BLACK-DRAW-* will pay off: <Black-Draw-White> at 35:1 <Black-Draw-Black> at 15:1 <Black-Draw-Draw> at 13:2. Nov-25-11    chessgames.com: <First pick three ever with multiple winners? ;-)> Interesting trivia: multiple winners can also happen if nobody puts any money on the winning outcome: then any ticket with 2 out of 3 is a winner. (Anything to avoid a refund!) But I don't believe that has ever actually happened here. Anyhow, sorry again about the botched bet, and congratulations to the winners. Nov-25-11    Penguincw: Two questions. When will the next tournament for betting happen? When does the leg begin. Nov-26-11    technical draw: Yipes! I'm hanging by a thread at #10! End the leg today! Nov-28-11    Penguincw: < technical draw: Yipes! I'm hanging by a thread at #10! End the leg today! > I think we have at least the London Chess Classic to go through so with a 15 chessbucks lead, you gotta put on the gas pedal. Nov-28-11    TheFocus: <TD> I can't lend you any money, but I can give you my moral support. Hang in there buddy! Nov-28-11    wordfunph: hmmmmm..

Nov-28-11    TheFocus: Yes, Good Luck to all! Let's have some fun!! Nov-29-11    wordfunph: <Chessgames Bookie> please make the correction in the Hall of Fame page --- should be <TIMER> and not <TIME>. SUMMER 2011 1st place: leoloren (12,490 chessbucks) Qualifiying runners up: CRISMELDRE, <TIME>, AnimusEtOblivio, others gracias :) Nov-29-11    Penguincw: New bets out: London Classic: QUINELLA London Classic: WINNER Nov-29-11    wordfunph: LCC Round 1 pairings: Vladimir Kramnik v Hikaru Nakamura Levon Aronian v Luke McShane Magnus Carlsen v David Howell Michael Adams v Vishy Anand http://www.londonchessclassic.com/ <CGB> Pick3 please.. Dec-03-11    Chessgames Bookie: <please make the correction in the Hall of Fame page --- should be <TIMER> and not <TIME>.> Our sincere apologies, we just fixed that. Dec-04-11    Penguincw: Can we include some interesting bets such as predicting the Opening? Please. Dec-04-11    Penguincw: Thanks. I'm looking forward to those ones. :) Dec-04-11    WannaBe: Bad day, bad day... Carlsen game costed me a bundle! Dec-04-11    Diademas: <WannaBe> So you had Nakamura and Kramnik? I salute you! They all costed me a bundle. Dec-04-11    WannaBe: I had Naka for a small amount, did not have Kramnik. Dec-04-11    Penguincw: Based on what I'm reading, I guess a lot of people lost money due to mainly McShane vs Carlsen, 2011. I guess that effected the London Chess Classic: Rd 2: McShane vs Carlsen and London Chess Classic: Rd 2: PICK THREE bets. Dec-05-11    dakgootje: Could it perhaps be made bets are automatically paid an x-amount of time [eg 60 minutes] before the bet-closing of the next round? Dec-05-11    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> You paid off the wrong pick three for round 2 ;-) Dec-05-11    moronovich: What ??? You definately paid off the wrong pick 3 as "Switch" just mentioned. And I have 150 bucks on the winning combination--so please let us not ruin this game ...please !
