Jun-21-13		technical draw: I jumped up 226 places with just one bet. Now i need only six more places for a top ten finish. It might be too little too late.

Jun-23-13		Barok Espinosa: Too late :( Tal Memorial rd 9: PICK THREE : Draw-Draw-Draw [info] 500 LIVE BET 15:2 8.51 4,255 Jun-23-13 Tal Memorial: WINNER : Gelfand [info] 334 LIVE BET 18:1 19.05 6,362 Jun-24-13 Next leg...

Jun-23-13		Chessgames Bookie: The last round was a tumultuous one! Some big players hit that BLACK-DRAW-DRAW pick three, and it's surprising how much money was waiting on the wings for a Gelfand victory. And the final standings (still subject to official review) are: (1) SwitchingQuylthulg (24,421) (2) brankat (11,403) (3) moronovich (8,187) (4) topacio (6,469) (5) kurtrichards (6,150) (6) Chess Gambler (6,114) (7) wordfunph (5,973) (8) Lorenzon (5,116) (9) Diademas (4,571) (10) Annie K. (4,400) Congratulations to SwitchingQ once again and to all the runner-ups. The Summer leg will begin in a few days.

Jun-23-13		Chnebelgrind: The usual look! Congratulations to permanent winner Switch and to all other winners!

Jun-23-13		Sneaky: Unbelievable! Good work again SQ.

Jun-23-13		technical draw: Yes, good work SQ. Why aren't you living in Vegas?

Jun-30-13		Chessgames Bookie: The Summer leg officially begins at midnight tonight, July 1st. However if you all want to go put some early bets on Beijing Grand Prix: WINNER we really don't mind :)

Jul-01-13		Phony Benoni: If The ChessBookie Game were an actual chess game, I'd be playing 1-minute and losing every game on time after 30 seconds. Thank you for reminding me why I don't gamble in real life.

Jul-01-13		Stonehenge: <Bookie> Wang Yue plays instead of Radjabov. http://beijing2013.fide.com/en/play...

Jul-01-13		Chessgames Bookie: <Wang Yue plays instead of Radjabov.> Thanks, we made the substitution. The few faithful Radjabov fans out there have their refunds.

Jul-12-13		brankat: Yes, it does, and now 3 hours before the start of the games it is too late to correct it (midnight in Florida) :-(

Jul-12-13		Chessgames Bookie: <The round 8 pick three has the round 9 matchups.> Sorry about that, folks. So there won't be a pick-three for round 8, and the bet we had up for round 8 has been renamed to Beijing rd 9: PICK THREE and the bets still stand.

Jul-13-13		moronovich: < Beijing rd 9: PICK THREE and the bets still stand.> But then why is the betting closed ? Today is a free day..
