< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 235 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-28-12    Penguincw: Geez. I should try to avoid this happening again. Jan-28-12    fan of chess: another rough day. 3/8 Jan-28-12    Penguincw: Bad news: I went 3/10 with wagers. :( Good news: I profitted about 700. :) Jan-29-12    Penguincw: < L E A D E R B O A R D updated Sun Jan 29, 05:40 User Net Worth (1) Chnebelgrind 32,328 (2) technical draw 22,277 (3) ChessWriter 18,294 (4) SwitchingQuylthulg 17,106 (5) wallytherhino 15,754 (6) Robin01 14,000 (7) 4tmac 13,013 (8) dakgootje 12,285 (9) SloVice 11,654 (10) WinKing 11,067 > <Chnebelgrind> has a comfortable lead over the pack. However, these people do have more freedom than us 1000 starters, so they are more likely to put larger wagers on winners. Jan-29-12    Penguincw: ♔ UPDATE ♔ Round 12 Wager: 70,423* # of Bets: 9 Average per bet: about 7,800* Round 13 Wager: 92,692* # of bets: 8 Average per bet: about 11,600* Total this leg: 1,318,484* # of bets: 110* Average per bet: about 12,000* *Stats may not be correct. :) Jan-29-12    LDJ: I won a lot today (Ivanchuk-Karjakin, Caruana-Gelfand, Giri-Navara and a 30 bet on the pick three), the only bets that lost were a 2, a 2 and a 6 bet on the pick three. Also, I won the B group winner, so I'll be somewhere about my starting capital (1000 chessbucks) after today. Jan-29-12    Penguincw: <Bookie> I see we can started with Tradewise Gibraltar (2012). Official site: http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.c.... Jan-29-12    fan of chess: this game is hard. Jan-29-12    Penguincw: Tata Steel: Quinella (A group) : Carlsen-Aronian [cash in ticket] 50 YOU WIN! COLLECT 98 7:2 4.37 98 Jan-29-12 Great. I wish the rules were that the odds we get for within reasonable distance, meaning if it's 4.37 and I stand to win 218, it should be around that. I'm starting to wonder if multiple payoffs are the greatest. Jan-29-12    dakgootje: Pool of money gets divided between all winning bets. If there are several options - then several win, albeit smaller amounts. Can't conjure money out of nowhere. That would be inflation ;) heh.. heheheh.. regained 4th-spot -- with an 8-c& advantage on 5th :P Jan-29-12    Penguincw: < dakgootje: Pool of money gets divided between all winning bets. If there are several options - then several win, albeit smaller amounts. Can't conjure money out of nowhere. That would be inflation ;) > Bookie is rich. He should be able to give. :) Well, I should look at the bright side, which is gaining 48 rather than losing 50. In total, I gained +1000 at Tata. Ready for next tournament. Jan-29-12    chessgames.com: We're ready to make Gibraltar bets assuming we can find pairings enough in advance of the actual game. I am assuming the page below will update sometime before round 7, or not? http://chess-results.com/Tnr63931.a... Jan-29-12    wordfunph: Gibraltar coming up.. thanks <CG>! go LQL! Jan-29-12    Penguincw: Interesting that I also landed on that page. Anyways, I believe it is a yes. Jan-29-12    chessgames.com: Top boards of Gibraltar are now up for wagers! Jan-29-12    Penguincw: What <cg> said. Jan-29-12    wordfunph: CG, LQL's opponent is GM Tamir Nabaty and not Labaty. Jan-29-12    Penguincw: Regret: Gibraltar Rd 7: Le Quang Liem-Labaty : Draw [info] 150 LIVE BET 7:1 8.06 1,209 Jan-30-12 I hope I don't regret. :( Jan-29-12    wordfunph: Revenge: T Nabaty vs Le Quang Liem 1-0 74 2005 BELFORT YWCC BU14 B51 Sicilian, Canal-Sokolsky (Rossolimo) Attack :-) Jan-30-12    LDJ: I lost 9 chessbucks at Tata, so I'm almost back at where I was at the beginning of this game. Jan-30-12    Penguincw: Lost 200+ chessbucks. Main culprit: Gibraltar Rd 7: Le Quang Liem-Labaty : Draw [info] 150 LIVE BET 7:4 2.66 399 Jan-30-12 I should learn to TRIPLE-CHECK my bet next time. ♔ UPDATE ♔ Tata 2012: 1,318,484* # of bets: 110* Average per bet: about 12,000* === Gibraltar 2012: Total wager: 33,192* # of bets: 7 Average per bet: about 4,700* --- Round 7 Total wager: 33,192* # of bets: 7 Average per bet: about 4,700* _________________________________ Leg Total wager: 1,351,676 # of bets: 117 Average per bet: about 12,000 *Stats may not be correct. :) Jan-30-12    chessgames.com: <wordfunph: CG, LQL's opponent is GM Tamir Nabaty and not Labaty.> Apologies for the unintended misspelling. We will continue to honor the bets, of course. Jan-30-12    technical draw: There's a big fight for that number 10 spot. And 10th is important because of this rule: <Furthermore, the top 10 places of the Winter leg earn an automatic qualification into the following year's Championship.> Jan-31-12    technical draw: I said once that it might take 55,000 cbs to win it all but I guess <Chnebelgrind> is going to glide in with less. Jan-31-12    Chnebelgrind: <td> do you resign? Remember 2010 when <Sneaky> at this stage was far ahead with 31927. <Barok Espinosa> than has won the leg with more than 75000 two months later. To help you a bit I come down 2751 bucks today :-) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 235 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
