 | | Penguincw: This kind of thing never happens with Pick 3. The smallest paying ticket is "Polgar" which inks out odds of 6.52. So, if you bet the minimum (1 chessbuck), you will profit 6 chessbucks. The highest paying (that I could find of) is "Hou-Adams-Movessian-Polgar" and "Hou-Bologan-Movessian-Polgar", which each has odds of 1026.40, so staking even 1 c$ will get 1,026 (excluding juice, of course). < wordfunph...
maybe in the future, if we run dry of Superfecta then Megaperfecta (or Pick 5) will satisfy our cravings for chessbookie addiction. > That sounds interesting. Although, I can only think of a few that can actually follow the format. Currently, there's Tata and Tal. ♔ UPDATE ♔

| Feb-02-12 | | technical draw: < A winning 10 chessbuck ticket pays out 38110 chessbucks. > You can't win more than the total pool (less juice). Right now the max anyone can win is appx 10,000. |

However, the Polgar option won and pays off odds of about 6.52. :-\ |

| | Penguincw: Interesting. I hope Le Quang Liem wins the title for a third time. :) Doesn't Aeroflot insure a seed to Dortmund or something? |
|
| Feb-03-12 | | wordfunph: <chessgames> we're starving. Aeroflot and Superfecta, please?
thank you. |

Aeroflot Open: WINNER |

| | Penguincw: Wow. Aeroflot starts tomorrow! |

| | Chnebelgrind: <AEROFLOT OPEN> a look at first round board 3 puts a new complexion on the OTHER ticket. |
|

| | Penguincw: Can we cover the top boards for Aeroflot? |
|
Feb-07-12
| | Penguincw: Awesome. Thanks. :) |

| | Penguincw: For Aeroflot Open: Rd 2: Sandipan-Vidit, the total pool is just 10! Someone will hit the jackpot. However, if they were both from the same person, they'll actually NOT profit due to the tiny juice, I guess. If Vidit wins, refund time! |

| Feb-08-12 | | dakgootje: heh - is that an alltime low? :P
Didn't have any time to bet this round - but seems I didn't miss much either ;) |

| | Penguincw: < dakgootje: heh - is that an alltime low? :P Didn't have any time to bet this round - but seems I didn't miss much either ;) > Probably. Although I "heard rumors" that A Giri vs Ponomariov, 2011 was nothing. Obviously, it's the lowest this leg, and also the lowest betting round this leg (about 10,813*). The second lowest was the last round of Gibraltar (27,431*) *Stats may not be correct. :) |

| | Penguincw: ♔ ATTENTION ♔
Spelling error:
Aeroflot Open Rd3: PICK THREE
It's <Ni Hua> not <Ni Hau>. Thanks. :) Also, no chance anther small wager now. The lowest is Aeroflot Open Rd3: Zhigalko-Khismatullin with 222 chessbucks in (all on Zhigalko winning). :) |
|
| Feb-08-12 | | wordfunph: <You know the drill! Pick three games for huuuuge winnings! The games are: 1. Yang Shen-Ray Robson, 2. Wenjun Ju-Ni Hau, 3. Gajewski-Bu.> Chinese flavor! thanks <CG> :) |
|
| Feb-08-12 | | TheFocus: The problem I have with playing against the Chinese is that an hour after the game, I am hungry again. |

Aeroflot Open Rd3
PICK THREE>
it was Black-Draw-Draw, right? |
|
Feb-09-12
| | SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> <Chnebelgrind> Yes, unfortunately it was Black-Draw-Draw :( |
|
| Feb-09-12 | | dakgootje: No, <fortunately> it was BDD. Because otherwise I would've missed the pick-3 - and that's obviously impossible. |
|
Feb-09-12
| | Penguincw: I agree with <dakgootje>. :) Aeroflot Open Rd3: PICK THREE : Black-Draw-Draw [discard ticket] 10 LOSE 6:1 7.20 -- Feb-09-12 |
