  Penguincw: Don't forget to pay us! Some of us (*cough* *cough* me!) could really use some chessbucks to wager on the last round of the European Individual Women's Championship (2012) (even though bets aren't out yet; pairings: http://eiwcc2012.tsf.org.tr/compone...). :)
Mar-10-12  brankat: Still no bets posted :-(
Mar-10-12  brankat: Posted now. Thank You Bookie! For the addiction :-)
Mar-10-12  wordfunph: <CGB> thanks, you satisfied our cravings :)

  Penguincw: I'll glad I'm not in negatives yet.

European Individual Women's Championship: Rd 10: Kosintseva T vs Stefanova : Draw [info] 190 LIVE BET 2:1 3.09 587 Mar-12-12

Why do they need to have fighting spirit?

Mar-12-12  brankat: <Chessgames Bookie> A question: When is this Championship leg supposed to be completed? Thank You.
Mar-12-12  wordfunph: <Chessgames Bookie>

Reykjavik pick 3 please, i hate to be in the Negative Brigade.

Mar-12-12  brankat: <Chessgames Bookie> There are still 3 rounds left in the Women's Championship event. So far only WIN bets have been available.

It would be nice to Pick(up)-3 girls in the last 3 rounds :-)

  Penguincw: Looks to be another late pay day. Not that I really am going to bet in the last round. Something tells me about not betting in the last round, somewhere.

Mar-12-12  wordfunph: <Penguincw: Looks to be another late pay day.>

what else is new?

go <Chessgames Bookie>!

Mar-12-12  wordfunph: <Chessgames Bookie>

i volunteer to administer chessbookie, and i am willing to sac my love for the contest by not participating, and for the enjoyment of my fellow bookie addicts.

your move, please..

Mar-13-12  brankat: <Bhessgames Bookie> Actually I was wrong in my previous post. There is only 1 round left (#11), not three. Sorry about that.

Yet another good reason to have Pick-3!

Mar-13-12  dakgootje: heh.. the round-11 bets weren't around when I went to bed, and closed when I woke up.

Perhaps I should set my alarm at 4am

Mar-13-12  brankat: <dakgootje> You saved Yourself a lot of money. Lucky when You bet, lucky when You don't :-)
Mar-13-12  wordfunph: must have been a top-grosser..

  Penguincw: Betting has been really low recently. Just 564 chessbucks on 5 bets, average about 112. The second lowest turnout ever was Round 9, of the same tournament, but it still had more than 3,000 chessbucks put on it.
Mar-13-12  SloVice: Whew. I was sweating it for awhile. Now I might be able to stay in the top 10.

Congrats to Caruana.

Mar-13-12  Robin01: Anyone know when this leg ends? Thanks.
