Luckily, the bets weren't out yet so I quickly took out a loan and some bets. :)

Dec-30-11  dakgootje: wow - you've got a strange betting-strategy :|

--

heh, I ricked it all for a loss of about 40. Load of excitement for nothing.

Well, that's not completely true. Due to that I'm now allowed bigger bets [or perhaps that's due to increased funds].

Had Giri been able to keep the draw, I'd have made a profit of roughly 1400 ;)

  Penguincw: Happy New Year <Bookie>. Hope you come back on whatever you're doing. <cg> Next round ("7" because Round 6 bets already came out) can you include Pick 3 or betting for the women's side. Maybe another Daily Double. Thanks.
Dec-31-11  technical draw: Well, <TheFocus> takes a 400 cb lead over <wordfunph> for the coveted 10th place. No bets until next year so figure out your strategies gents and whatever happens have a very happy, prosperous and healthy new year...2012.....TD....

Looks like moronovich took over.

Jan-02-12  technical draw: I hit the pick 3 again! Picked up $1264. Hmm? Maybe I'll move up to third. Too bad about Chucky though.

  Penguincw: I like LCC better. I hate to tell this to myself, but if I bet the winners and quinellas correctly, and did nothing with Reggio Emilia, I would be on the leaderboard.

  Chnebelgrind: <technical draw: Maybe I'll move up to third> If you don't, it is not up to me.
Jan-02-12  technical draw: <Chne> According to my calculations my next net worth should be 8,155. If you're not betting then that puts me in 3rd place unless someone creeps up from behind.

Well I guess you're still in contention. Me, looking at all the decisive games, will not predict the draw (!). :0

Looks like Patzerschreck jumped in from no where. Races will start to tighten as the leg comes closer to an end. I'm out of it.

Jan-03-12  technical draw: Well I lost 142 cbs this round. Maybe just enough to drop out of third place.
Jan-03-12  dakgootje: 142? That's nothing! I blew all of my freshly lend 300 c-bucks ;)

150 on the draw/draw/draw; 150 on the draw/draw/black. So Chucky has a brainfreeze, blunders and Tadaa!! the draw/draw/white comes in.

Awesome.

Let's hope karma actually exists, and my luck next leg is almost equal to my lack of luck this leg. Then I'll be a sure winner ;)

  Penguincw: I've had the best days for quite some time now (even though I lost 6 c$.

Say bookie, is it possible to include chess ยข into this game too?

Jan-03-12  wordfunph: Vitiugov's win against Chucky was the least expected, i should have plus 1k but went pfffttt -0.8k in Pick3, bad day :(

<guys> 3 precious rounds left, let's get ready to rumble!

Jan-03-12  TheFocus: Chucky and Moro really let me down.

I doubt I can make it back.

And Naka hurt me today.

Does prayer help?

  Penguincw: Waaaa. Caruana won. I don't feel like betting on this event anymore.

<Bookie> Might as well discard the following:

Reggio Emilia Rd 8: DAILY DOUBLE : DRAW-DRAW [info] 75 LIVE BET 9:4 3.37 252 Jan-04-12

Reggio Emilia Rd 8: DAILY DOUBLE : WHITE-BLACK [info] 3 LIVE BET 13:1 13.54 40 Jan-04-12

Along with the following that should already be discarded:

Reggio Emilia: WINNER : Vitugov [info] 5 LIVE BET 13:1 13.67 68 Jan-06-12

This is a tough tournament. :(
