< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 303 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-16-14    dakgootje: <wordfunph: made a call to Vish, he said 1.b3> <centralfiles: <Wordfunph> He fooled ya and played 1.e4> When I called him, he said he wasn't called Anand. Man, chess players.. you just can't trust them. Sep-16-14    WannaBe: The 'OVER' is not looking good... Bilbao: HOW MANY DRAWS? Sep-16-14    posoo: Dats rite wunbu! Posoo had da foresight to take da under bc of da scoring system. Someday tornaments da world over will adopt da PSS! Sep-17-14    WannaBe: This leg of Bookie Game ends next week, so I am wagering all of my money. Watch me crash and burn... Sep-17-14    Penguincw: Some bets are just a gift: CCC rd 4: Obiettivo Risarcimento-Beer Sheva : Obiettivo Risarcimento [cash in ticket] 500 YOU WIN! COLLECT 546 1:11 1.09 546 Sep-17-14 Thanks for the extra cb. :) ECCC rd 4: Malakhit-St. Petersburg : Malakhit [cash in ticket] 125 YOU WIN! COLLECT 231 6:7 1.85 231 Sep-17-14 ECCC rd 4: SOCAR-Novy Bor : SOCAR [cash in ticket] 125 YOU WIN! COLLECT 179 3:7 1.44 179 Sep-17-14 Should've bet more... Sep-17-14    centralfiles: <penguincw> I gifted you some of that but with the odds that high i doubt you shouldve bet more. Sep-17-14    Penguincw: < centralfiles: <penguincw> I gifted you some of that... > Thanks. :) < ...but with the odds that high i doubt you shouldve bet more. > There's nothing wrong with that, right? (Other than the fact that an upset could plunge me below par). I did the math, and figured that if I had wagered an addition 500 (my max), I would've profited 79 chessbucks instead of 46. Sep-18-14    Penguincw: Note: Bilbao rd 5: Ponomariov-Anand: FIRST MOVE says the bet closes Sep-19-2014, but pays Sep-18-2014. :| Sep-18-14    Chessgames Bookie: <Penguincw> Thanks. Sep-19-14    moronovich: <Penguincw: Note: Bilbao rd 5: Ponomariov-Anand: FIRST MOVE says the bet closes Sep-19-2014, but pays Sep-18-2014. :|> "Life is to be lived forwards but understood backwards". Søren Kierkegaaard. Sep-19-14    WannaBe: Crashed and Burned... =(( Sep-19-14    Penguincw: Not sure if someone put a ton on the other outcome or simply an underdog, but 4:1 odds is pretty high if you ask me. ECCC rd 6: Novy Bor-Huginn +3.5 : Novy Bor [cash in ticket] 100 YOU WIN! COLLECT 505 4:1 5.06 505 Sep-19-14 < WannaBe: Crashed and Burned... =(( > How much did you lose? Sep-19-14    WannaBe: <Penguincw> Well, went from 4K+ down to ~600. (Still have 2 tix open on longest game moves and how many draws. But they are not lookin' good.) Was trying to catch 12th place. =( Sep-20-14    dakgootje: Ah, the second round TCEC-bet is a Critter-game as well :) It's interesting to have TCEC-bets, only downside is that the starting time is so unpredictable :/ Sep-20-14    Penguincw: < WannaBe: ... Was trying to catch 12th place. =( > Me too, but at least you'll have some company in the middle of the standings. ;) Bilbao rd 6: Vallejo-Ponomariov : Draw [info] 1000 LIVE BET 5:7 1.71 1,710 Sep-20-14 On the bright side, for once, accidently betting something helps me. Bilbao: HOW MANY DRAWS? : UNDER [info] 100 LIVE BET 3:2 2.57 256 Sep-20-14 I was only aiming for 50, but the server lagged, and I doubled click. :) Anyway, I believe I will now fall to 1765, but the second I rise above 2000, I'll throw in the towel. Sep-21-14    dakgootje: It seems like the wrong Durban-boards are getting streamed on the official site. Either that, or 2 GMs just got crushed playing the worst chess I've ever seen streamed online. Not the <GM overlooking something and messing up the position> kind of crush, but more the <beginner who doesn't realize his pieces are being attacked> kind of crush. There are a load of boards in the Open (with a large number of unrated players), so perhaps they accidentally turned the seating around - and subsequently the lowest boards are being streamed. Sep-21-14    dakgootje: Turns out the results were wrong. Possibly white/black got mixed, since practically all GM's got crushed according to the live boards - but for the 2 draws both the live boards and chess-results.com agree [Goossen-Popilski; Hernandez-Klaassen]. So it appears that the GM's scored 8 wins and 2 draws. Sep-22-14    Sneaky: Hmmm... if I just sit on my hands now, will I qualify? I fear everybody in slots 3-12 is thinking exactly that. Sep-22-14    moronovich: <Sneaky: Hmmm... if I just sit on my hands now, will I qualify? I fear everybody in slots 3-12 is thinking exactly that.> Wellcome to the Club <Sneaky> ! ;) We are in the same boat for now and I think our score should qualify,so I will stay put(unless something strange happens and would be forced to go all in in the last rounds). And soon the leg is over.. Sep-22-14    dakgootje: I don't think Kinghunt at #12 [4.5k] feels safe yet ;) I'd be very uncomfortable at spot 10/11 [5.3k] - but I'd hazard a guess the two of you [6k] should be fine.. Presumably. Sep-22-14    posoo: WEN do da compoters play!?!? Sep-22-14    Sneaky: I don't know what to do with bets like TCEC Stage 1a rd 4: Stockfish-Gaviota: OVER/UNDER because I don't understand the criteria the computers use for resigning. Do they play all the way to checkmate, or are they programmed to resign when they reach a certain negative threshold, or do their human operators intervene to save face, or what? Sep-22-14    centralfiles: <sneaky> in Tcec its also a draw after move 40 if both evals are Equal for 10 ply and no pawn moves or piece captured. so protector vs stockfish is a draw about right now.. Sep-23-14    posoo: SNEEKY, da REAL trik is for people in da top 12 to bet on GAVIOTA. at lest SUMON has to. Nobody can afford to get BUMPED just bc stuffcash SHORT CIRCUITS. IMMA PUT FIVE DOWN. Sep-23-14    posoo: i put SEVEN down. Odss - DILUTED. yahhhhh. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 303 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
