Sep-20-12  dakgootje: <P-3! The best bet there is >

Absolutely! P-4 is just way too much work, and P-2 isn't a third the fun. P-3 is perfect! :)

Sep-20-12  brankat: Our bread and butter :-)

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> Looks like the London bets are closing twenty-four hours late - the first rest day is after round 5 :)

  Chessgames Bookie: Thanks, Switchy. I was going by http://www.marathonbet.com/ which has the round listed on the 26th, and they almost always get their facts right. (After all they are playing this game for real money!)

Maybe the confusion is caused by the fact that the FIDE Women's has a day off? Or is that bogus as well?

Sep-24-12  brankat: <SwitchingQuylthulg> Too bad You couldn't keep this a secret. That would have given us an opportunity to make well-informed wagers :-)
Sep-24-12  brankat: <Chessgames Bookie> <Maybe the confusion is caused by the fact that the FIDE Women's has a day off? Or is that bogus as well?>

No it's not a bogus. The ladies, unlike the boys in London, have deserved a day of rest.

  Sneaky: If my Chessbookie season was narrated by Bill Murray:

<Incredible Cinderella story. This unknown comes out of nowhere to lead the pack... oh, he got out of that one! He's gotta be pleased with that! The crowd is on its feet here!> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFY6...

Sep-28-12  WinKing: Will there be a <Leko-Grischuk> game posted for <Round 8>? Not listed in the 'Open Events' section yet.
Sep-28-12  Assa S. Sin: Don't count this kid out! :))
<293. Assa S. Sin -1,057>

  Chessgames Bookie: < <Leko-Grischuk>... Not listed in the 'Open Events' section yet.> My oversight! It's a little late now unfortunately. We'll make up for it with some interesting prop-bets before the leg is through.

Also there was a pick-three which just got paid off, sorry for the delay.

I'm gonna hold you to that. ;)

How about a total # of moves for all 6 games. For example:

Under 200 moves
201 - 220 moves
221 - 240 moves
241 - 260 moves
261 - 280 moves
281 - 300 moves
Over 301 moves

Something like that.

  Chessgames Bookie: I went ahead and paid off Bilbao Masters: FIRST LEG WINNER since it's mathematically impossible to catch up to Caruana now!

In the Fall leg we'll have wagers to see if he can keep up this streak in Bilbao.
