< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 258 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-25-12    Chessgames Bookie: <Whats with ACP Golden Classic Amsterdam?> Chucky won, bets have been paid. Jul-25-12    Chessgames Bookie: Regarding the removal of Morozevich and specifically today's game with Carlsen: Our rules (ChessBookie Game Help Page) state <If you make a bet on a player who ends up canceling from a tournament, or if an entire event is canceled, your ticket(s) for this event will be marked "refund" and you may redeem your ticket(s) for a full refund of its face value. Note that all forfeited games are treated as losses and are not liable for refunds.> So the question is whether or not Magnus will receive a *forfeit* victory today. We have read from the official press release that he will replay today's game against Morozevich during the rest-day against Bologan. Therefore in no sense did Magnus receive a win by forfeit, and so I took the proper course of refunding all bets on Morozevich at full face value. That includes upcoming pick-threes that involved Morozevich games. Get well Moro. Jul-25-12    WinKing: <chessbookie> your Round 4 game for Biel is still listed as Morozevich-Nakamura. Should be Bologan-Nakamura no? Jul-25-12    WinKing: Ok I see you just updated the Bologan-Nakamura game. Thank you <chessbookie>. Jul-25-12    hms123: <chessbookie> What about these bets? SETTLEMENT DATE: Aug-03-12 PROJECTED PAYOUT: 583 (5:1) Biel: WINNER Morozevich LIVE BET 100c$ [info] Jul-25-12    Chessgames Bookie: You bring up a very good point hms, if you have money on Morozevich to win Biel outright perhaps it is only right that you receive a refund. When we wrote the rules <If you make a bet on a player who ends up canceling from a tournament> we had in mind that their appearance would be canceled entirely beforehand, but I think it's in the spirit of the rules to regard Morozevich's unfortunate withdrawal as a cancellation and in no way a loss, beyond those first two rounds. Let me confirm with my boss, then if everything seems 100% according-to-Hoyle proper, then we'll issue refunds on all Morozevich tickets. Incidentally, if by some miracle Bologan overcomes his 0/2 deficit and wins Biel outright, we would have to refund everybody's bet, since there has to be money on at least one winning outcome for the bet to be settled normally. Jul-27-12    Diademas: SETTLEMENT DATE: Jul-26-12 PROJECTED PAYOUT: 4,536 (60:1)*Biel Rd 4: PICK THREE* *Draw-Black-Black* *LIVE BET* Time to pay out... :)) Jul-27-12    Chessgames Bookie: Sorry about that, I had to leave yesterday before Nakamura was done. All bets are settled now. Incidentally, we refunded all Morozevich bets now. Spend it wisely :) Jul-27-12    Penguincw: Wang Hao having a good tournament. Biel: WINNER : Wang Hao [info] 14 LIVE BET 17:1 18.44 258 Aug-03-12 Jul-27-12    technical draw: Update the leader board please. I jumped up a few notches. Jul-29-12    WinKing: <chessbookie> please check the 'Pick 3' game for the 7th Round. We can not place our bets as there is no odds table to work with. Thanks in advance. Jul-29-12    Chessgames Bookie: Sorry about that, my mistake. The pick three will return for round 8. Jul-30-12    WinKing: Ohhhhkay. Jul-31-12    technical draw: A lot of new faces on the leader board. Good to see <Annie K> in second place. Aug-01-12    Penguincw: What a comeback by Carlsen. Hao is in trouble (looking like he will lose a piece). Aug-01-12    bubuli55: Bologan must have found the groove. Go Bologan Go! Aug-02-12    Sneaky: Little known fact: "TITIKIZA" is a Zambian expression meaning "Bet it all on the Asian!" Aug-02-12    Penguincw: Biel: WINNER : Wang Hao [cash in ticket] 14 YOU WIN! COLLECT 258 17:1 18.44 258 Aug-03-12 I actually bet on everyone (I just wanted a winning ticket). Aug-03-12    TITIKIZA: <Sneaky: Little known fact: "TITIKIZA" is a Zambian expression meaning "Bet it all on the Asian!"> actually , it means squezee your opponent until he cracks like the way Carlsen does. i put a lot of money on Wang Hao in the begining and final round. Aug-03-12    Sneaky: TITIKIZA, I was just kidding of course, the true meaning is much more interesting. Good work on your wagers! Aug-03-12    Chessgames Bookie: We now have betting for World Junior Chess Championship: WINNER. Please note that this event has already started. The bet will remain open for about 36 hours and a new round will be completed in that time--the smart bettor will simply have to take that into consideration when betting :) Some other helpful links for bettors: http://chess-results.com/tnr76324.a... (current standings) http://wjcc2012.chessdom.com/ (official site) Aug-03-12    notyetagm: <BOOKIE> I want to bet on Wei Yi at the 2012 WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP. Aug-03-12    wordfunph: <notyetagm> Wei Yi under the <OTHER>. goodluck to all.. Aug-04-12    dakgootje: Heyhey, I can't help but notice the Russian Superfinal is underway by now. Any chance we can get bets for round-3? :) Aug-06-12    Chessgames Bookie: We're having a devil of a time finding pairings for the Superfinals or the Junior championships. If anybody can provide links I'd love to put bets up. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 258 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
