< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 247 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-23-12    WinKing: Well if that's true <SwitchingQuylthulg> then our chessbucks should just be refunded. Who knows when the match will take place then. Mar-23-12    technical draw: Beware of <wallytherhino>. He's dangerous in the stretch and he has a real gambler's name. Mar-23-12    Penguincw: Still losing! I guess I will take a break next round, and just see what will happen. Mar-23-12    brankat: <Penguincw> When one is on a break, usually nothing happens :-) Mar-24-12    dakgootje: heyhey - thanks for the amount of picks the last couple of days! Note that the pay-out date of two bets today isn't correct: Jones-Vit and Lenic-Nai. Shouldn't matter too much I suppose - but just in case :) Mar-24-12    Penguincw: I would've gained 52 chessbucks. :( Mar-24-12    wordfunph: round 5: lost 2k :( Mar-24-12    brankat: <wordfunph> Well, I guess You'll just have to work harder, and longer hours for a while. Make sure Your wife doesn't know the financial situation :-) Mar-25-12    technical draw: Yikes! The revenge of <dakgootje>! Mar-25-12    dakgootje: It's nothing personal my dear td - I simply have to catch luckyswitch and you happened to be in the way. Collateral damage and all that ;) Mar-25-12    Chessgames Bookie: It's starting to look like we'll have to refund the Mecking-Granda bets, but I sure wish we could find some official statement about it, somewhere. Mar-25-12    Penguincw: We have 'till April 1st to find out the winner. Also, do you know who put up the bet? I guess it was too good to be true. Mecking vs Granda Match: WINNER : Mecking [info] 50 LIVE BET 4:1 5.23 261 Mar-18-12 In other news, I have my first profiting round in a long time, increasing my account by 6 chessbucks. Mar-25-12    Sneaky: http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/twic906... <Mecking vs Granda Match 2012 It is possible I got the details of this match wrong or it was cancelled as I couldn't find any mention of it anywhere.> That's according to The Week in Chess and Mark Crowther, who (as I'm sure you know) is usually an excellent source for tournament results. I say refund the bets. I'll find a better way to bet my money! Mar-25-12    wordfunph: 6th Round: DDB :( lost $800 <loanshark> gave me, harhar! :) <CGB> how 'bout P4 in the last 3 rounds. Mar-25-12    WinKing: <Chessgames Bookie> I believe tomorrow (Monday 4/26/12) is a rest day for the European Individual Championship. You might want to extend the betting another 24hrs for Round 7. Mar-26-12    wordfunph: <WinKing> that means additional $1,600 loan --- enough to splurge on P3 :) nothing to lose, everything to gain. Mar-26-12    WinKing: <wordfunph: nothing to lose, everything to gain.> Yeah if the <Chessgames Bookie> is kind enough to extend the betting it might make for a good size pot in the P3. :) Mar-26-12    Penguincw: Isn't today a rest day? If so, how come the bets are closing in 2 minutes? Mar-26-12    WinKing: The betting windows have been reopened - Place your bets. Mar-27-12    wordfunph: $1,600 on board, thanks to generous <loanshark>. bookie friends, goodluck! Mar-27-12    WinKing: Over 76k chessbucks wagered in Rnd.7 on just 4 events - not too bad. With only 4 Rnds. left till the end of our season I suspect the pace will pick up a bit from here on out. Mar-27-12    dakgootje: <Over 76k chessbucks wagered in Rnd.7 on just 4 events - not too bad> And apparently SQ took most of them ;) Besides becoming world-champion, he apparently aims to set a new Chessbucks-record. Mar-27-12    Penguincw: Yah. I doubled plus from the day before yesterday. It was 6 in Rd.5, now 13. Let's make it 27 next! Mar-27-12    dakgootje: Can the lines close <NOW> please? European Individual Championship: Rd 8: Malakhov vs Azarov : Azarov [info] 5 LIVE BET 2911:1 2912.20 14,561 Mar-28-12 ;D Mar-27-12    Penguincw: I have never seen odds that high for regular game betting.
