< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 233 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-26-12    4tmac: What ever happened to Chnebel & Switch ?!? Jan-26-12    bubuli55: Just an obs. On an empty pick I bet 2c$ with 14k payoff. On another empty pick both P3, I bet 4c$. The payoff is 9k. More bet has less payoff? Jan-26-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: <bubuli55> Sounds like the other pick either wasn't empty after all, or someone else almost simultaneously bet c$2 on it :) Jan-26-12    bubuli55: Never mind. Somebody just made a 2 c$ bet on that pick too Jan-26-12    bubuli55: You are exactly right < SQ > :) Jan-26-12    bubuli55: 39k c$! < SQ> doesn't blink. He doesn't hesitate. He knows what he's doing! :) Jan-26-12    wordfunph: Round 11: Gashimov - Radjabov possible patriotic draw? Jan-26-12    bubuli55: Is today read day? Jan-26-12    WannaBe: Yes, today is read day. Jan-26-12    bubuli55: Thx:) Jan-26-12    bubuli55: Somebody just dropped 100c$ on my 2c$ bets. Legal but throws me wayward :) how can I sneak on these guys? Jan-26-12    dakgootje: Well - for starts you should always assume more money is coming in on your side. Certainly when there is still a lot of time left - especially when the odds look way too good. You'll hardly ever get much better odds than 100:1 ;) Jan-26-12    fan of chess: is today a rest day or something cause im getting no pay check. Jan-26-12    Penguincw: < fan of chess: is today a rest day or something cause im getting no pay check. > Me neither (I never wagered anything). Anyways, yes today IS a rest day. This tournament follows a 4-4-2-3 format (4 days of play, rest, 4 days of play, rest, two days of play, rest, 3 days of play, done). May not be the best though. Jan-26-12    technical draw: I finally figured it out. In that bet confirmation photo the actors are (from L to R): <WannaBe>, <NakoSonorense>, <jessicafischerqueen>, and <El Predicto>. Nice detective work, right? Jan-26-12    dakgootje: I just had to wager several hundred c$ to see the picture. Totally worth it. Jan-26-12    whiteshark: <Bookie> I'd like to bet on <Loek van Wely> that he'll draw the remaining 3 games at Tatasteel and thus finishing <+0 -0 =13> rd 11: Van Wely, L. - Karjakin, S. rd 12: Nakamura, H. - Van Wely, L. rd 13: Van Wely, L. - Carlsen, M. Tough opponents, but no risk no fun. Jan-26-12    TheFocus: Presently, I am at: 186. TheFocus -1,302 But I feel that my luck is about to change. No where to go but up. Or farther down. Or sideways. I am so far down the list, when I look up, I can see a snake's belly. Jan-26-12    WannaBe: <technical draw> I'm the guy on the left?! Are you nuts? Do I really look that handsome? And Maria Sharapova won't go out with me, Wow, go figure! Jan-27-12    Golden Executive: Wow! <(1) SwitchingQuylthulg 39,541> Did not he finish last in the previous leg? Well, all or nothing is always a choice. I like that! (in a virtual world of course). Jan-27-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> Please note that the last round (round 13) will start 90 minutes earlier than the other rounds (12:00 local time - 06:00 your time) :) Jan-27-12    Penguincw: ♔ UPDATE ♔ Round 10: 160,192* # of bets: 8 Average per bet: about 20,000* Round 11: 117,691 # of bets: 8 Average per bet: about 14,700* Total this leg: 1,155,369* # of bets: 93* Average per bet: about 12,400* *Stats may or may not be correct. :) Jan-27-12    Penguincw: Kamsky-Nakamura not worried about. Tata Steel Rd 11: Kamsky-Nakamura : Draw [info] 500 LIVE BET 4:9 1.45 725 Jan-27-12 Van Wely-Karjakin and Gashimov-Radjabov, I'm biting my nails.
