Jul-16-14		Penguincw: Hi <Chessgames Bookie>. I'd just like to ask a few questions that are good for future reference. Firstly, I noticed for Biel rd 3: PICK THREE there are some outcomes that no one wagered chessbucks on. If those bets actually win, do all bets get refunded? Also, I keep hearing <the earlier you place your bets, the better odds you'll get in the end as the market will digest them>. How does that work, like does it really matter if a bet is in 5 hours before the event vs. 5 seconds? Thanks.

Jul-16-14		Chessgames Bookie: <Penguincw: Firstly, I noticed for Biel rd 3: PICK THREE there are some outcomes that no one wagered chessbucks on. If those bets actually win, do all bets get refunded?> In case a pick three outcome no one wagered on happens to hit, all tickets that got two out of three games right will be winners. <Also, I keep hearing <the earlier you place your bets, the better odds you'll get in the end as the market will digest them>. How does that work, like does it really matter if a bet is in 5 hours before the event vs. 5 seconds? Thanks.> If your bet is tiny, it likely won't make much of a difference whether you place it 5 hours or 5 seconds before betting closes. (Indeed, with a tiny bet it's usually best to place it as late as possible so you can be sure the odds are in your favor.) However, placing a large bet with 5 seconds to go is usually unwise as you will ruin your own odds; if you make the same large bet earlier, the market will react to the change in odds (i.e. other bettors will see the improved odds for the other outcomes and bet on those instead) and you'll get better odds than you would have if you'd placed your bet later. There are some exceptions, but the rule of thumb is: if you already know which results you're going to bet on, place your bets as early as possible.

Jul-16-14		SugarDom: Lose big time on TCEC Critter - Houdini. 1000 bucks. ouch! My fortunes hang today on Meier drawing with Caruana. Go go Meier! Er, I mean draw draw Meier!

Jul-16-14		SugarDom: Losing big time at Biel also! There goes the yellow jersey. :(

Jul-16-14		Annie K.: ...and there goes Meier now. Does this mean no more Watchlist updates? ;) I'm back in the black, myself... BTW, the Hou Special (both wins and losses) could be paid off already? :)

Jul-16-14		Penguincw: You just gotta love Leko. :) < Dortmund rd 4: Baramidze-Leko : Draw [cash in ticket] 155 YOU WIN! COLLECT 197 2:7 1.28 197 Jul-16-14 > Gonna go 200 next round.

Jul-17-14		Sneaky: <Penguincw> Yeah, Leko always strives for a perfect score ;-)

Jul-17-14		ChessWriter: What happened to SwitchyQyething (or however you spell his name)? Was he one of the "offenders?" He's always playing.

Jul-17-14		Penguincw: < ChessWriter: What happened to SwitchyQyething (or however you spell his name)? Was he one of the "offenders?" He's always playing. > You mean <SwitchingQuylthulg>? He's actually an "admin" this leg and won't be playing this leg. Chessgames Bookie chessforum Chessgames Bookie chessforum

Jul-17-14		Penguincw: This probably doesn't happen often: I wager 55 chessbucks on an event, and win 55 chessbucks. Biel rd 4: PICK THREE : Draw-White-Draw [cash in ticket] 10 YOU WIN! COLLECT 55 9:2 5.57 55 Jul-17-14

Jul-17-14		WannaBe: If you are playing the Dort/Biel/ACP draws betting slip, here are the lineup: Kramnik-Caruana Leko-Naiditsch Ponomariov-Baramidze Meier-Adams Harikrishna-Wojtaszek Vachier-Lagrave-Giri Motylev-Hou Vocaturo-Sutovsky Almasi-Brunello So-Jobava

Jul-17-14		SugarDom: The Comeback Kid. I'm pacing my bike behind the leader to get his wind.

Jul-18-14		WannaBe: If you are playing the Dortmund/Biel Round 6 O/U 64 moves betting slip, here is the full lineup: Caruana - Adams Baramidze-Meier Naiditsch-Ponomariov Kramnik-Leko Harikrishna-Vachier-Lagrave Wojtaszek-Motylev Giri-Hou I think, personal opinion, Giri-Hou have the best chance of going over 64.

Jul-20-14		Penguincw: Thank you Pick 3. :) ACP Golden Classic rd 7: PICK THREE : Draw-Black-Black [cash in ticket] 2 YOU WIN! COLLECT 428 213:1 214.10 428 Jul-20-14 One of only 2 tickets that won today. :\|

Jul-20-14		Annie K.: Go Sneaky Go! :) http://www.melting-mindz.com/Go-Sne...

Jul-21-14		whiteshark: re Olympiad (Women): RUSSIA ALLOWED TO PLAY? I think this article (where the organisers said they will allow the relevant teams to play) means <YES>: http://en.chessbase.com/post/organi...

Jul-21-14		Chessgames Bookie: <whiteshark> It does seem likely now that the <YES> ticket is a winner, but we will wait for further developments before paying it off.

Jul-21-14		MarkFinan: I was just about to ask the same. So they're taking part and us "Yes" gamblers get paid? Well if they've played a game then they're participating.

Jul-21-14		ChessWriter: "You mean <SwitchingQuylthulg>? He's actually an "admin" this leg and won't be playing this leg." Relief!
