Thanks      Dec-26-20 Sargon chessforum    Chessgames Bookie: Sargon, Could we get an adminstrator to close out the Fall Leg of the Chessbookie?

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 318 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-09-15    WannaBe: If this helps: http://www.tatasteelchess.com/tourn... You can click on each round and you will see how many hours are left before each round games start. Jan-09-15    bulibug: My hands are itchy....where's the betting line for <So-Wojtaszek>??? Jan-10-15    wordfunph: <Annie K.> requesting for Carlsen-So tomorrow, gracias amigo :) Jan-10-15    Penguincw: Woo hoo! I got 4 jackpots/semi-jackpots for Tata Steel Challengers (a.k.a Group B): Winner. Jan-10-15    Annie K.: I expect there will be So bets often, when his opponents are also well known enough to generate interest in the bet. :) Jan-10-15    Sneaky: <penguin> What do you mean? Did you get some money in on Gunina, Klein, etc? I've got a few beans riding on the Shankland / Kampen / L'Ami trio. I've also got a 3 dollar bet on Van Wely winning group A. 1356:1 odds sounds just about right. Jan-10-15    Penguincw: I have money riding equally on all of them. :) Perhaps I should've used the word "opportunity", such as jackpot opportunity. Jan-11-15    scout118: <Annie K.: I expect there will be So bets often, when his opponents are also well known enough to generate interest in the bet. :> CG Bookie du jour, I think in this website with all his fans and with the way Wesley So is playing so far, you're guaranteed heavy betting in all of So's games - regardless of opponent.;) Jan-11-15    bubuli55: I second that emotion. Jan-11-15    Penguincw: Man, there haven't be many (if any) upsets this tournament. One of the reasons I deployed the method I am using is due to the unpredictably of the games (i.e. a lot of decisive games). Unfortunately, the increased time controls is creating more draws. :( Jan-11-15    Annie K.: Sure, but in a tournament like this, with such a wealth of top players, a game with Big Names on both sides of the board will still be preferred. :) But relax, guys. I am a So sympathizer myself, he is both a great talent and a very nice young man. No need to lobby for him. :) I just looked at tomorrow's pairings, btw - they are <all> looking interesting, so there will be a bet for every game tomorrow (Masters group), and a Pick Three. Check back in about 3 hours! Jan-11-15    wordfunph: I third that emotion. Jan-11-15    WannaBe: Pick 3 is confusing!! Jan-11-15    Chessgames Bookie: Thou art an impatient Wabbit. Better now? ;p Jan-11-15    WannaBe: "Bettor" =)) Did I click on the link while the bet was being made? Because there was no description, only the drop down options. Jan-11-15    Annie K.: Yup. :) Jan-11-15    WannaBe: I saw the bet listed/available in the "Open Event" section of the web page, so I clicked it. Then I saw the page had no match-ups, only the drop down listing. Jan-11-15    WannaBe: Also, after the rest day, round 4, can we have a player's (rolling) pick 3? E.g. What will be Hou's results for rounds 5, 6, 7? W-W-W, W-W-D, W-W-L, etc Jan-11-15    Penguincw: Can I also recommend live betting for future rounds? :D Jan-11-15    Annie K.: <Penguincw> Somehow, I don't think my boss would like that..! ;p <WannaBe> that's an interesting idea, I'll consider it. :) Jan-11-15    WannaBe: I just picked these two as an example: Pairings for rounds 5, 6, 7 Wesley & Mag: So-Hou Jobava-So So-Radjabov Carlsen-Aronian Caruana-Carlsen Carlsen-Hou Depending on the standing after round 10 Wednesday, (Thursday is a rest day) Rounds 11, 12, 13 (Fri/Sat/Sun) can be very interesting to offer this (rolling) pick-3 of the leader board. Especially if Wesley and/or Mag is leading or within striking distance. Jan-11-15    Sneaky: Tata Steel Round 3: Ivanchuk, V. - Van Wely, L. ... the betters seem to think it's a sure draw, but I tell you now, that game could go any which way the wind blows. Jan-12-15    scout118: <Annie K.: <Penguincw> Somehow, I don't think my boss would like that..! ;p> I recall this was done by switch &/or wordfunph. Live betting in the first hour of a game. Should be fun with Jobava or Van Wely games where anything can happen. Jan-12-15    Chessgames Bookie: We came very close to settling the Epic Game bet today! Great round. :) Jan-12-15    centralfiles: Maybe we can have an "in play" Tournament winner bet after round 4.
