< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 244 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-15-12    Penguincw: Maybe I know why they're paying the bets late. Here's one of my tickets Reykjavik Open: WINNER : Caruana [info] 15 LIVE BET 5:4 2.24 33 <Mar-18-12> So they'll pay us Sunday. :-\ Mar-15-12    brankat: The longer the money sits in the bank, the more interest the Bookie collects :-) Mar-15-12    Penguincw: At least he warned us ahead of time. :) In Mecking vs Granda Match: WINNER, Granda Zuniga is the favourite, while the tie is second, and Mecking is the underdog. Mar-15-12    brankat: The first game must be over by now. Where can we find out about the result? Thank You. Mar-15-12    Penguincw: No result found. But here's what I found, related to the match. http://www.chess.com/games/view.htm... http://ratings.fide.com/tournament_... http://www.redhotpawn.com/chess/gra... Got some old matches, basic info about the match, but no results! I'm starting to wonder how <cg> found the match in the first place. :-\ Mar-15-12    brankat: <Penguincw> I suppose the Match must have been posted on FIDE official calendar way ahead of time. Mar-15-12    Penguincw: I gained 8 chessbucks. Thanks Caruana. :) And not even FIDE has the results! Mar-16-12    brankat: <Penguincw> <And not even FIDE has the results!> Does that surprise You? :-) Mar-16-12    Penguincw: New bet out. European Individual Championship: WINNER And it pays Apr. 1. < Mar-13-12 Penguincw: I thought it ended on April Fool's Day, or is that the closing ceremony? > Mar-16-12    technical draw: Cool, I lose 300cbs yet move from 4th to 3rd. If I keep losing pretty soon I'll be in 1st place. Mar-17-12    brankat: Where/how can we find out about the progress of Mecking-Garnda Zuniga match? Mar-17-12    chessgames.com: We'd like to know that ourselves, and the FIDE page isn't much help http://ratings.fide.com/tournament_.... Mar-17-12    chessgames.com: Oh wait, here's the official site ... http://www.cbx.org.br/ who speaks Portuguese? Mar-17-12    Golden Executive: <Oh wait, here's the official site ... http://www.cbx.org.br/ who speaks Portuguese?> Right now the only information about the match is this: "Match Henrique Mecking vs Julio Granda Zuniga ID do Torneio: 1397/12 Ritmo: Clássico Rating: CBX e FIDE N° Jogadores: 2 Organizador: Clube Fox Local: São Paulo/SP Regulamento N° Jogadores FIDE: 2 Período: 15/03/2012 a 18/03/2012 Observação: Match, ritmo 1h30 + 30 seg, pré inscrição na FIDE sob o id 64859" No links, no results submitted yet. <Status: Provisório> = Status: Provisional Mar-18-12    brankat: First two games should be completed already. Mar-18-12    Mozart72: I've done my homework. Bwin gives Anand (2799) odds @ 1.27 and Gelfand (2727) odds @ 3.40. If we add the implied probabilities we get 108.15%. An 8.15% Over-Round for Bwin. But if we use the Win Expectency Formula and input the players ratings we get a 99.99%. No Over-Round! The fair odds: Anand @ 1.66 and Gelfand @ 2.51. A big difference for Gelfand. Mar-18-12    Mozart72: Mecking's rating before the match 2589 fair odds @ 2.34 Granda's rating before the match 2640 fair odds @ 1.74 Mar-19-12    Penguincw: This might not seem fair, but here's what I'm thinking. If not one site on the Internet would even allow us to see the bare minimum (winner), then within a few days, you should refund all. It doesn't seem fair, because some people wagered on it weeks ago, in return for good hopes, but now, they get it back. That's just what I'm thinking. Mar-19-12    brankat: <Chessgames Bookie> Now that the European Men's Individual Championship has started are we going to have the tournament kibitzing page? Thank You. Mar-19-12    Penguincw: Better might be round for round betting. Mar-19-12    Chnebelgrind: pairings rd 1 http://www.chess-results.com/tnr668... Mar-19-12    wordfunph: European Men's Individual Championship please? we're starving! <CGB> thank you. Mar-19-12    dakgootje: <we're starving! > We demand bread and games :D Mar-19-12    wordfunph: while awaiting for our hard-working <CGB> for European Men's Individual Championship pairings and Pick4, i'm offering all my fellow bookie addicts to have a gulp of these Filipino ice-cold beers --- just to calm down our nerves in the homestretch of ChessBookie Championship of the World :) http://www.sanmiguelbrewery.com.ph/... goodluck and cheerssss! Mar-20-12    brankat: More and more I have this feeling that <SwitchingQuylthulg> is actually the Chessgames Bookie :-) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 244 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
