< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 227 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-14-12    Penguincw: Carlsen's win hurt my chances of making much progress. :( Jan-14-12    technical draw: Well I have 400 cbs bet on tomorrow's individual games. I'll have to see the new leaderboard before I bet more. Jan-14-12    technical draw: Now my bets are up to 700cbs. No pain no gain. Jan-14-12    wordfunph: +$181 courtesy of The Mozart of Chess! Jan-14-12    technical draw: <+$181 courtesy of The Mozart of Chess!> -$185 Cosi Fan Tutte... Jan-15-12    dakgootje: At 10130 - for 4th place. Think both are my best ever ;) Jan-15-12    Penguincw: Did someone dump like 10 grande on Tata Steel Rd 2: Ivanchuk-Carlsen drawn? A pool of 13,848 chessbucks is a lot. Jan-15-12    TheFocus: Picked up 832cb for round 1. Only betting on number of draws this round. I got back too late to bet on individual games. Jan-15-12    dakgootje: <Penguin> I don't know what happened exactly in the last minutes on that bet - but odds and amounts changed a lot. Think a fairly big chunk was dumped on the draw indeed. Not worlds most interesting games today. Almost certainly going to take a loss - but the size of it is still being played for. Jan-15-12    Penguincw: < dakgootje > Ok. However, if the game isn't drawn, there is going to be a lot of upsets. Jan-15-12    TheFocus: Made 7cb today. Feels like wood-chopping. Jan-15-12    dakgootje: better than making a loss of roughly 650 ;) Jan-15-12    technical draw: I think I lost $400...Caruana saved me from losing more... Jan-15-12    TheFocus: I think we should have seven draws in this round, so that everyone's nerves can slow down. Take it easy, guys. Don't burn yourselves out so early. Look both ways before crossing the street. Don't go swimming until 30 minutes after eating. Don't run with scissors. Chew your food until it is nice and pasty. I sound like an old Mother Hen. You! Stop crossing your eyes like that. Your face will freeze that way permanently! Jan-15-12    dakgootje: Did your face freeze permanently while screaming? :) Jan-15-12    technical draw: < that everyone's nerves can slow down.> Who's nerves, the players or the bettors? Jan-15-12    Everyone: <TheFocus> But you haven't heard me singing yet. Jan-15-12    Penguincw: Darn! I lost nearly 200. :( I feel a little scared about Round 3 betting. Jan-15-12    wordfunph: <TheFocus: Take it easy, guys. Don't burn yourselves out so early.> exactly! <ChessGamesBookie> thanks for the quick pay off and instant standings update.. Mabuhay! (Long live! in Tagalog) Jan-15-12    technical draw: I have 700cbs bet on today's round, half of it on the pick 3. Hopefully I can convert. Jan-16-12    wordfunph: total of $1,200 bet today, $400 on P3. wish all the games will end decisively :) Jan-16-12    dakgootje: today was a good day :D total of 1583 at stake, with a projected pay-out of 4447 - for a profit of 2864 ^^ 12k net-worth, here I come! Jan-16-12    technical draw: With Carlsen's win I should make it back to 10,000. It's deja vu all over again.... Jan-16-12    Sneaky: Ca-CHING The highest rated player in the world wins a game. Who would have thought?! Jan-16-12    technical draw: No <sneaky> the SECOND highest player in the world loses a game. Who would have thought of that?
