Mar-13-13  Jason Frost: <moronovich: <Jason Frost> Max bet depends on how many bucks you got left.> That makes sense, thanks.

Mar-15-13  dakgootje: Heh.

That second step, figuring out the actual odds for a game - which is actually the most important, is <waaaaay> shaky.

And all other steps are rather obvious for team games - but I was always much too lazy for them :P

  Sneaky: <<London Candidates rd 3: PICK THREE : Black-Black-White [cash in ticket] 15 YOU WIN! COLLECT 777 51:1 51.80 777 Mar-17-13>> It's mana from heaven!! La la la ♩♫ I'm back in the game ♫♪

I take back every unkind word I've ever said about Svidler on this forum on previous legs. Seriously, I really feel like a jerk now. Pete's a super strong player and he's out to show the world he's a lean mean chess playin' machine.

Mar-21-13  Daisuki: No pick three today?

  Sneaky: <London Candidates rd 6: Svidler-Carlsen : Draw [discard ticket] 1000 LOSE> It's easy-come, easy-go in this game. I thought for sure Svidler be able to keep a lid on the kid.

  Sneaky: My desperate last minute efforts are best summarized by the poetry of the immortal Benny Hill:

"They said that it could not be done
Some even said they knew it.
He went and tried it anyhow.
And couldn't bloody do it!"

Mar-29-13  gauer: <AnimusEtOblivio> given the juice on that 3-way ticket, that may stand as a record for a "most outrageous" underdog wager for a while (or someone please correct - too bad there wasn't a way to share ticket histories with other in one's "thumbs up" list). It's a bit too bad that the Olympiads don't coincide with the championship legs, with much of the activity taking place in the January seasons. Luckily, the candidates have made up for that!

  WannaBe: Made a crazy B-B-D on the pick 3, and took Radjabov, Kramnik (individual bets) to win. Got a crazy wild hair up my tush.

...the Chucky jackpot, congrats!

Mar-29-13  crazybird: <wordfunph: <(4) crazybird 21,422> ...the Chucky jackpot, congrats!>

Thanks. Yeah, pick three odds of 193.9 to 1 on Black-Draw-Black & my 100 bet turned to 19390.
