Feb-14-12		Penguincw: Another bad round. I'm rapidly fading.

Feb-15-12		LDJ: I won 235 with the pick three and 256 with Korobov's win yesterday! :)

Feb-15-12		wordfunph: i made a mistake, this $2k ticket should be for DRAW :( <Aeroflot Rd 9: Melkumyan-Khalifman : Khalifman [info] 2000 LIVE BET 11:4 3.73 7,460 Feb-15-12> that's life and so my battlecry for today's round --- fight GM Khalifman 0-1!

Feb-15-12		Barok Espinosa: This is my battle cry, sir <word>... Eljanov! Eljanov! Eljanov! Aeroflot Open: WINNER : Eljanov [info] 300 LIVE BET 29:1 30.08 9,024 Feb-17-12

Well, at least I'm in the positive figures now. :-) The leaders should beware, I may not have much money, but I have something almost as good .... CREDIT!

Feb-15-12		dakgootje: wow nice job - that's impressive :P

Feb-15-12		Penguincw: Went 4/4 on the round betting, but 0/3 with the winners.

Feb-15-12		Penguincw: Here are some basic stats: About Aeroflot. -There were 8 rounds of betting. -The lowest turnout was Aeroflot Open: Rd 2: Sandipan-Vidit. Just 10 chessbucks! ( Apparently, User: LDJ was the only one who wagered. I wonder if I should've bet to shift the odds around. :) ) -The highest turnout was Aeroflot Rd 7: Bartel-Caruana. A whopping 42,534 chessbucks. (Every outcome paid out odds of at least 2.00. In the end, Bartel won and people were happy with the 8.45 winnings). -Round 7 showed the biggest turnout. 127,453 chessbucks were wagered on the 6 events. The highest was obviously Aeroflot Rd 7: Bartel-Caruana. -Round 2 showed the lowest turnout. Just 10,813 were wagered on the 7 events it offered. The lowest was obviously Aeroflot Open: Rd 2: Sandipan-Vidit. -Round 2 and Round 3 both featured 7 different events to try to win. -Round 4, Round 5 and Round 9 had just 4 events. -The highest average was in Round 9, where an average of over 25,000 chessbucks were wagered on the 4 events it offered. The highest was Aeroflot Rd 9: Melkumyan-Khalifman (28,603). -The lowest average was once against Round 2. -Almost 4x as much chessbucks were wagered this tournament (44 events) than Gibraltar (25). About the Leg. -Almost 2 million chessbucks were put down on the 183 events, with an average of over 10,000. -Most of them came for Tata, especially Round 9 and Round 10 (each over 150 grande! ). All stats may or may not be correct. Please tell if incorrect. :)

Feb-15-12		Penguincw: And now the round by round Aeroflot 2012 Total Wager: 469,175 # of bets: 44 Average per bet: about 11,000 --- Winners Total Wager: 13,815 # of bets: 1 Average per bet: about 14,000 --- Round 2 Total Wager: 10,813 # of bets: 7 Average per bet: about 1,600 --- Round 3 Total Wager: 29,984 # of bets: 7 Average per bet: about 4,300 --- Round 4 Total Wager: 21,159 # of bets: 4 Average per bet: about 5,300 --- Round 5 Total Wager: 38,275 # of bets: 4 Average per bet: about 9,600 --- Round 6 Total Wager: 51,306 # of bets: 5 Average per bet: about 10,000 --- Round 7 Total Wager: 127,453 # of bets: 6 Average per bet: about 21,000 --- Round 8 Total Wager: 76,242 # of bets: 6 Average per bet: about 13,000 --- Round 9 Total Wager: 100,128 # of bets: 4 Average per bet: about 25,000 All stats may or may not be correct. :)

Feb-16-12		LDJ: I won about 700 chessbucks on Aeroflot, after a bad start. Yesterday I won at all of the four round bets, plus one of my two bets on the winner was correct (eljanov, my other bet was on Toomashevsky). i'm now on +947 this leg.

Feb-17-12		Penguincw: Thanks for the new bet: Vladimir Petrov Memorial: WINNER. :)

Feb-18-12		Penguincw: This may be inaccurate, but it looks like we're going to reach 2,000,000 chessbucks wagered before 200 bets. We have about 35,000 chessbucks to go, and 16 bets. :-\

Feb-19-12		Penguincw: Sighs. Lost 150 today. At least I'm not among the "biggest losers".

Feb-19-12		wordfunph: <Peng> i'm one of them :)

Feb-19-12		wordfunph: <CGBookie> please cover ACP Women Cup Rapid in Tbilisi. Thank you.

Feb-21-12		Penguincw: Should I go alarm <cg> on their forum again? It worked last time. < Feb-11-12 Penguincw: Hi <cg>. This issue is regarding the ChessBookie Game. It's been on for days now. Anyways. In the event, Aeroflot Open Rd3: PICK THREE, the winner is Black-<Draw>-Draw, not Black-<Black>-Draw. If you need further proof, please check the following links: Yang Shen vs R Robson, 2012 Ju Wenjun vs Ni Hua, 2012 G Gajewski vs Bu Xiangzhi, 2012 Chessgames Bookie chessforum I hope you refund and correct all bets. Thank you. :) > Not too long after. < Feb-11-12 chessgames.com: <Penguincw> We paid off a bet incorrectly? We're very sorry and we have the technology to right this. > Compared to on this forum: < Penguincw: I agree with <dakgootje>. :) Aeroflot Open Rd3: PICK THREE : Black-Draw-Draw [discard ticket] 10 LOSE 6:1 7.20 -- Feb-09-12 > Still nothing. :)
