I shouldn't really be advertising, but I think this site is with real money (I haven't tried it):

  Chessgames Bookie: ♔ PAY DAY ♔

Greetings all. I have just spoken with <cg>, and Pay Day for this leg will officially be on Saturday, August 15th, 2015.

All you have to do is place <one> bet on <anything>, <any amount>, and you'll get a bonus 1000 cbs!

Regarding refunded bets. Although placing a bet (that ends up getting refunded) is <technically> placing a bet, it probably won't count. Just to be safe, put 2 cbs on a P3 or something, and you'll be fine.

Funny enough, Pay Day <last> Summer Leg was also on August 15th. However, 243 users got Pay Day, while this leg, there seems to be less than half of that...

  FSR: Looks like Black-Draw-Draw won the Pick Three. http://www.chessdom.com/2015-asian-...

  FSR: The Battle of India is also decided: "NO" won, since Sengupta was not Deep enough for Ganguly. http://www.chessdom.com/2015-asian-... My first win on any wager in eons, it seems.

  FSR: Sasikiran agreed to a draw with Le Quang Liem, overlooking that he could simply win a pawn in the final position with 31. Rcb1 Qc4 32. Qxc4 Rxc4 33. Nxc3! Nxc3 34. Rb7!
Aug-11-15  MarkFinan: I've bet my funds, savings, raided the piggy bank and borrowed from the loanshark and it's ALL gone on today's games. I'll no doubt spend the next 2 week playing catch up now.

  FSR: Artemiev played 1.d4 - the bastard.
Aug-11-15  MarkFinan: <FSR: Artemiev played 1.d4 - the bastard>

Haha. I've started disliking certain players who never seem to win me any money, Kramnik being a prime example - the bastard. Lol

  FSR: Argghh - it looks like the Pick Three is heading for Draw-Draw-Draw.
Aug-11-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  FSR: Or perhaps Draw-White-Draw - but I don't have any cbs on that line either.

  FSR: C'mon Vitiugov, you can do it!

Premium Chessgames Member
  FSR: Last time I looked, Motylev was doing well, but now suddenly he's getting rolled like a joint. Argghh.
Aug-11-15  MarkFinan: I have a tiny wager on every single bet APART FROM D-D-D! But I have decent $$$ on the DDB, DBD, DWW, WDD, DWD tickets. I also have 500 on the Babe Ruth wager and a few 400's on the draws. It's make or break today, Frederick.
Aug-11-15  MarkFinan: All my wagers apart from the pick 3 won big. I only won (actually lost 50 altogether!) 300 cb's on the P3. If that French defense bet pays off I'll definitely be 3rd, maybe higher depending on how the 2 sith lords got on today.
Aug-11-15  MarkFinan: Well that's 900 cb's down the swanny. I thought those Babe Ruth and FD bets were for 6 games not 12, this ain't fair 😈
Aug-11-15

  Penguincw: <Mark>

Well the Babe Ruth bet was for all of the Russian Superfinal games (all 12, both men and women), while the French Championship was just for the men's side. (if there's any confusion, just ask)

But remember: you have already qualified for the Championship leg.

  FSR: Khairullin opened with 1.Nf3, bless him. That'll give me 132 cbs on that 10 cbs bet.
Aug-12-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  FSR: C'mon, Khismatullin! If he just finds 23...Qa7!!, he wins brilliantly and, more importantly, makes me a pot of cbs.
Aug-12-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  FSR: He did!
Aug-12-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  FSR: Of course, he also found the "Move of the Year" 44.Kg1!!! in D Khismatullin vs Eljanov, 2015, so no doubt 23...Qa7!! here was child's play for him.
Aug-12-15  paulvankerkhof: svidler lost!!!!
Aug-12-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  FSR: That's classy. Svidler is allowing Khismatullin to win beautifully rather than more prosaically.

You forget that Mark's sole ambition for the current leg is to finish ahead of me:

<MarkFinan: ... C'mon Frederick, step your bookie game up! I'm just focused on getting a higher place than you this leg..>

Alas, that's not working out too well for him so far:
