 | | Penguincw: Won 300+. Doesn't seem much, till you consider that my max. bet is still 200. No secret. Just picking the easy games + wager a small amount on an upset. Wait, that was the secret. Darn! |
|
| Jan-16-12 | | TheFocus: <Wait, that was the secret. Darn!> A-HA!!
My max bet for Pick Three is 200, but I got to bet 250. Hmmm? |
|
| Jan-16-12 | | technical draw: I could give you tomorrow's winning pick 3 combo but that will just lower my payoff so eat my dust losers! |
|
| Jan-16-12 | | wordfunph: P3 saved the day :)
round 3: +781 |
|
| Jan-16-12 | | AnimusEtOblivio: After a successful round 3, I am finally on the plus side. My "safe" bet came through with the draw between Caruana and Naka, and Carlsen and Radjabov both brought the heat needed to make the day a success. Unfortunately my winnings were hindered a bit by Giri's failure to hold a draw. Regardless, I am traveling in the right direction.
Speaking of right direction, Carlsen seems to be at the top of his game. This should make the betting very interesting. |

Carlsen-Aronian 7:2
Caruana-Any 32:1
Tata Steel: B Group

Well, it's not like you're going to use it. :) If you are, darn. :( |

| Jan-17-12 | | dakgootje: <My max bet for Pick Three is 200, but I got to bet 250. Hmmm?> The max-bet is for single options - you can get over it, for a game, by betting multiple options on the same bet. -- Seems like I'm going to take some big risks today. |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | TheFocus: <Seems like I'm going to take some big risks today.> Me too. A lot of risks for this round. |

| Jan-17-12 | | dakgootje: <Me too. A lot of risks for this round.> Indeed. This is not a leg to avoid risks.. but I've never even come close to the amount I'm taking this round. 7210 at stake this round.. and I didn't even aim to bet this much. The edges simply seem there. This is not going to be good for my heart ;) |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | dakgootje: ..and Karjakin starts off with some Berlin only to trade queens at move 8. Sure, Short lost at London shortly ago that position as white.. but it isn't really what I wanted to see - having 600 on Karjakin. |

| | Penguincw: Amazing that no one has a negative net worth, yet... |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | ughaibu: Can one bet on where Bidmonfa will strike next? |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | technical draw: Oooh, not a single win today. I'm afraid to calculate my next net worth. |

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> Caruana-Carlsen was drawn, you'll have to redo that and the pick three. |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | technical draw: Mistakes, mistakes? I don't know from mistakes. I got awarded with some unearned cash and I'm keeping my mouth shut. Let's just say it's in the rules. Money paid shall not be returned. |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | dakgootje: Indeed - with this result I have earned 3812 on the pick-3. No complaints here :D Then again, I also had the Car/Car-draw and the draw/draw/draw - which earns me about 2500. So both are fine with me ;) -- Also, I have a little confession to make: I've been a bit lucky today ;) Seemed like both Aronian and Karjakin were heading for a draw - which would give me a loss on the day of around 900. Instead, both came through for a pretty terrific profit :) |

 | | chessgames.com: Due to the mix-up regarding the Caruana-Carlsen game today, we had to revoke the payoffs on the Caruana-Carlsen bet as well as the pick three. We will pay them off again shortly. Some people who cashed in Caruana-winnings tickets had money forcibly removed from their account. |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | Pyke: <chessgames.com: Some people who cashed in Caruana-winnings tickets had money forcibly removed from their account.> Ok, but I was nice to pretend for a while ... ;-) |

| | SwitchingQuylthulg: Thanks <cg>, this means very much to me... ;-)) |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | dakgootje: <SQ> You mean you've tripled up? ;) |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | technical draw: <Some people who cashed in Caruana-winnings tickets had money forcibly removed from their account.> I know, I felt that gun in my back.... |
|
Jan-17-12
| | SwitchingQuylthulg: <dak> Yes, that sounds like the very ballpark... ;-) |
|

| | Penguincw: Karjakin stopped me from earning big profits. :( |
|
| Jan-17-12 | | TheFocus: I am bleeding chessbucks over here.
But, I do have to say - Four rounds and these patzers need a day off to rest! Four games in four days and you have to rest? Boy, in my day (if I ever had one), we would play entire tournaments without a day off. Stinking patzers! Just a bunch of namby-pamby grandmasters. |
