Don't get off a winner - as they say in Vegas.
May-27-06  refutor: <chessgames bookie> any thoughts about making bets available on some of the high profile games? e.g. kramnik-aronian, etc.?
May-27-06  refutor: i didn't do so well this round (picked china, russia, bulgaria)
May-27-06  percyblakeney: My 1000 on Armenia covered the loss on draw in China-USA so a small plus for me today.

  Chessgames Bookie: Wagering is open on the top matches of the 7th round of the Olympiad.

100 on USA, with some decent odds for the first all this tournament.

May-28-06  kuldeep: <Chessgames Bookie> Can we have some betting on the ladies' games as well?
May-28-06  Elixir of Life: I have a question: Is it generally more profitable to bet a lot on a few games or bet only a little on a lot of games?
May-28-06  percyblakeney: <Is it generally more profitable to bet a lot on a few games or bet only a little on a lot of games?>

Betting a lot on favourites in a few games, but it must be the right favourites...

May-28-06  EmperorAtahualpa: <Chessgames Bookie>

In the springleg standings, where did the #1 spot go? He's not on the list!

May-29-06  Milo: Why do people put so much money on ties in these team matches? They seem to be pretty rare (around ten percent or less...)
