  Diademas: According to the result list here at CG it is B D D. 1K down the hole. B D B would have sent me 4K up...
Feb-09-12  dakgootje: bad odds on both options.

heh, I only recover half the amount I bet at pick-3 today. Losing while hitting ;)

Feb-09-12  wordfunph: <Aeroflot Open Rd3: PICK THREE : Black-Black-Draw [cash in ticket] 100 YOU WIN! COLLECT 1475 14:1 14.76 1,475>

  Chnebelgrind: <Bookie> ALLOW ME TO POINT OUT, THAT THE CURRENT LEADERBOARD IS BASED ON AN IRREGULAR PAYOUT. (see preceding posts)
Feb-10-12  wordfunph: <CG> 5th round request..

They got Pick 3 down. Now just need to squeeze in Le-Khalifman. :)

Feb-11-12  LDJ: <Penguincw> I won that 10 bet! :)
Feb-11-12  technical draw: Yipes! If switchy moves up ol' TD might wind up in 4th place when this is over.

Pick 3? So you picked W-W-B to win, and now it's paying out odds of 65+. Anyways, it's time to take some serious action. :)

Feb-11-12  LDJ: No I meant the Sandipan-Vidit bet from round 2 in which the total pool was 10.

Oh. Let me guess, your bet won your bet. :-\ Anyways, I'm happy with the refund and paid.

Aeroflot Open Rd3: PICK THREE : Black-Draw-Draw [cash in ticket] 10 YOU WIN! COLLECT 71 6:1 7.20 71 Feb-09-12

Feb-11-12  wordfunph: <Loanshark: Good to see you, wordfunph! You're running up a big tab, pal. Come to pay me back, I assume? You're into me for 4,120 chessbucks, you know.>

I wish it were possible. Bookie probably disabled that option because who knows. Someone could create multiple accounts and "lend" money to a main account.

Feb-12-12  dakgootje: It's hard always getting the pick-3 right. So yeah - we understand you don't want to make any more mistakes there. And are perhaps a bit hesitant with the bet.

But putting up the bet, without possible bet-options is a bit over the top.

  Penguincw: It's been quite some time since I profitted more than I staked, using regular game bets.

Aeroflot Rd 6: Balogh-Tomashevsky : Draw [cash in ticket] 200 YOU WIN! COLLECT 417 12:11 2.09 417 Feb-12-12

Also, currently, there's an issue with: Aeroflot Rd 7: PICK THREE. What are the outcomes? :-\

Feb-12-12  wordfunph: cellar, here i come :(

<Aeroflot Rd 6: Balogh-Tomashevsky : Balogh [discard ticket] 2000 LOSE 11:4 3.81 -- Feb-12-12>

<Aeroflot Rd 6: Balogh-Tomashevsky : Tomashevsky [discard ticket] 2000 LOSE 5:2 3.44 -- Feb-12-12>

to Balogh-Tomashevsky winners, let's party and don't forget to bring that $4k.

  chessgames.com: Sorry about the mistake with the round 7 pick three. It's a little late in the evening to offer a pick three but we'll make it up to you with a quick AEROFLOT Rd 7: DAILY DOUBLE before round 7 starts. Good luck!
Feb-13-12  technical draw: <Feb-11-12
technical draw: Yipes! If switchy moves up ol' TD might wind up in 4th place when this is over.>

El Predicto's prediction is taking shape:

1) Chnebelgrind 34,718
(2) SwitchingQuylthulg 22,643
(3) technical draw 22,213

Feb-13-12  wordfunph: total of $42,534 --- this maybe an all-time high..

<Bartel 4,813
Caruana 17,633

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <wordfunph> Keep fighting, as long as you have chessbucks you have hope! Sorry about that 4K I pocketed ;-)

I'm not sure what the record for most handle on a single game is - the highest I remember is c$84,901 on Morozevich vs Carlsen, 2009 :)

  Chnebelgrind: 8 kilo on Caruana draw were mine. In total I lose more than 11 kilo
