< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 231 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-21-12    dakgootje: Yeah - Now I can't win the pick-3.. Which also means I've got an excuse ready, if I make a loss today :) Jan-21-12    dakgootje: Ugh - Gelfand is costing me a <lot> of bucks this tournament.. :( Jan-21-12    moronovich: <Chessgame Bookie> Pick-three,please !? Jan-21-12    Penguincw: Kasmky winning is costing me 1/3 of what I wagered in Round 7. I need the other tickets to win. Tata Steel Rd 7: Gashimov-Caruana : Draw [info] 300 LIVE BET 3:5 1.59 477 Jan-21-12 Tata Steel Rd 7: Kamsky-Navara : Draw [info] 300 LIVE BET 1:2 1.51 453 Jan-21-12 Tata Steel Rd 7: Van Wely-Giri : Draw [info] 300 LIVE BET 5:9 1.55 465 Jan-21-12 Jan-21-12    technical draw: Another losing day. Another 1,000 gone. Lucky it's not real money. (or is it?). Jan-21-12    Penguincw: Yes! All other games drawn. :) I profit a 42 chessbucks or something. :) Next time, I should've bet Carlsen-Gelfand, Carlsen, 300 (yes I would've picked Carlsen to win. Need proof? Here it is: YouRang chessforum OhioChessFan chessforum). Jan-21-12    dakgootje: small loss of 270 in the end. Could have been much worse. Jan-21-12    Penguincw: Thanks for the regular game betting, Pick 3, and a bonus. :) BTW, if the tournament were to end right now, would the Carlsen-Aronian quinella pay or not? Jan-21-12    wordfunph: <CGB> gracias for Pick 3 - the short-cut to big bucks! Jan-21-12    Penguincw: Tata Steel Rd 8: Radjabov-Carlsen: FIRST MOVE pays odds of 1.18. So, if you bet the minimum, you profit nothing. Luckily, once bookie finalizes the odds, those staking 5, will profit one mere c$. Well, it had odds of 1.06 at one point. Jan-21-12    chessgames.com: <BTW, if the tournament were to end right now, would the Carlsen-Aronian quinella pay or not?> Absolutely. Carlsen is tied with Aronian for 1st place, so "the 1st and 2nd place finishers" are clearly Aronian and Carlsen. Any other way of interpreting the rankings is fallacious. Jan-22-12    LDJ: Noooo! Why did you have to play 1.Nf3, Radjabov? Jan-22-12    Penguincw: < chessgames.com: <BTW, if the tournament were to end right now, would the Carlsen-Aronian quinella pay or not?> Absolutely. Carlsen is tied with Aronian for 1st place, so "the 1st and 2nd place finishers" are clearly Aronian and Carlsen. > Ok. Thanks. Plus, along with <LDJ> and several others, I can not believe Radjabov played 1.Nf3! When I came to the game, it looked like a d4 game. Way to go Radjabov. :( Jan-22-12    Penguincw: Started bad, ended pretty well though. I hope the bookie gives me some more power. Tata Steel Rd 8: Navara-Van Wely : Draw [info] 300 LIVE BET 3:7 1.42 426 Jan-22-12 Jan-22-12    LDJ: Hmm, I'll lose more than 600 today :S Only right prediction was Topalov-Aronian. Jan-22-12    technical draw: I will break even today thanks to Gashimov. I can't seem to surge ahead like superman... Jan-22-12    Penguincw: The paying quinella hasn't changed yet. :-\ Jan-22-12    chessgames.com: We changed the text of Tata Steel Rd 9: LONGEST GAME slightly, for clarification: <The longest game will be the one which has the most moves by White and Black combined--not the longest game in terms of hours and minutes.> Jan-22-12    Penguincw: Ah. A nice pay cheque. 1,547 chessbucks. :) For Round 9: Thanks for the regular game betting, a pick 3, and a bonus. :) For Round 10: Thanks for the regular game betting and a daily double. :) BTW, Where is bookie? Jan-23-12    Chnebelgrind: <Penguincw:This leg is already looking interesting> Yes. Interesting struggle for second place! Jan-23-12    dakgootje: Nah - you are currently solid in second position ;) Jan-23-12    Chnebelgrind: It is not how it looks like. I have some kilos on winners in Tata steel A, B and C group and Quinella - and not on favourites!

Jan-23-12    dakgootje: heh - or one of those 10k'ers put it all on Carlsen, and potentially catapults to 20.9k Jan-23-12    technical draw: Those 10k'ers that haven't bet are called sandbaggers.
