< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 397 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-06-16    Chessgames Bookie: The final 9th Round of the Moscow Open starts 5 hours earlier(11am Moscow time - 3am E.S.T.). Get your bets in early! Feb-06-16    Chessgames Bookie: I am still waiting for the pairings to go up for the 9th Round of the Moscow Open. Will have some games posted as soon as they become available. Feb-07-16    wallytherhino: Hail Mary pass: SETTLEMENT DATE: Feb-07-16 PROJECTED PAYOUT: 1,047 (10:1) Moscow-Open 2016 A Round 9: Gordievsky - Inarkiev Gordievsky YOU WIN! COLLECT 1047 100c$ [cash in ticket] Feb-07-16    chessgames.com: <MarkFinan> 150 cb credited to your account. Feb-07-16    Annie K.: A Zurich Winner bet would be nice? :) Feb-08-16    MarkFinan: Thank you <chessgames>. Feb-08-16    chessgames.com: Wait a minute, Mark, I'm sorry, those 150 were just deducted again. I thought you were caught in what I now call the "double click" bug, where you can end up with multiple tickets for the same bet. Now that I examine it, this seems different. What exactly is the reason you claim been shorted 150 cb? It has to do with this claim Chessgames Bookie chessforum (kibitz #10275) regarding Tata Steel 2016 Round 7: Caruana - Ding , is that right? I don't want to discuss the logfiles here because it shows your betting habits which is confidential. If you'd like to email me an explain the scenario I'll hear you out. Sorry about the back-and-forth here, I just want to get it settled properly. Feb-08-16    Keyser Soze: Embarrassing.. Feb-08-16    Beholder: <MarkFinan: Thank you <chessgames>.> Wow, Mark, now you know what Miss Colombia have felt. Feb-08-16    MarkFinan: <Tata Steel 2016 Round 7: Caruana - Ding : Draw [info] Tata Steel 2016 Round 7: Caruana - Ding : Draw]> This be the reason. I had 2 bets on the same wager. One at 500 and one at 150 on the same game to be drawn. I never put bets on the same wager because it's impossible. I could have put 500 and then 150 but it would just add up to 650. I'm not bothered you can keep the cb's I'm just proving my point as I did the other week. <Keyser Soze: Embarrassing..> And there's absolutely no reason why you should be here repeating your mothers first word to you. Yikes! 😂😂😂😂 Feb-08-16    MarkFinan: In fact I've changed my mind. I didn't mean to put the <500> on the bet. I'll definitely have that back. Lol. Feb-08-16    MarkFinan: Yup. It's my fault that the chessbookie's isn't "fun a simple game" LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂 'So Gringo. Where were you on 22th November 1963? Admit huh?? You kill JFK and hurt Pele in training at school and you caused all of global warming" I'm guilty, hahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Feb-08-16    chessgames.com: Mark, the bug did happen to you—that there is no doubt. But here's the problem: your post Chessgames Bookie chessforum (kibitz #10275) was made at <2016-01-23 14:04:17> but the bet was settled at <2016-01-23 13:18:52>. So it's like you're taking a losing ticket to the window, after it's been declared, and asking for a refund. Feb-09-16    MarkFinan: <chessgames.com: Mark, the bug did happen to you—that there is no doubt> Daniel.. It doesn't matter. It's only a few hundred cb's and I still have 11000. If it happens again though I'm bringing it straight to your attention. I told the chessbookie when it happened, I had both <losing tickets> for a few days that I hadn't discarded, I posted them here. With the exception of emailing you at the time there's not a lot else I could/can do about it and I've a lot going on. And I seem to have offended <Keyser Soze> in the process.. I didn't want to upset him and ruin the game, lol. Feb-11-16    Annie K.: FIDE Women's Grand Prix started in Tehran - looks like an interesting event: http://tehran2016.fide.com/en/compo... Feb-12-16    Chessgames Bookie: The Zurich Chess Challenge is holding a blitz tournament in a little over an hour to determine the color distribution for the main event. This match will *not* count towards the scores. Hopefully we will get some pairings shortly thereafter. I will try & get some pairings up as soon as they become available. There may not be much time to get your Round 1 bets in. Just giving all members playing a heads-up. Feb-12-16    Chessgames Bookie: The blitz games can be followed here: https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t... Look for the caption 'Zürich Chess Challenge 2016 - Opening Blitz'. Players receive 4 minutes plus 2 seconds per move for the entire game. Feb-15-16    Chessgames Bookie: I am still awaiting the winner of the Zurich Chess Challenge. The reports on who actually won are mixed. I have heard the tie-breaks are all equal between Anand & Nakamura. Stay tuned! Feb-15-16    Chessgames Bookie: Ok the latest that I have heard, at the official website, is that GM Nakamura has won on a tie break. So those that had Nakamura picked as the winner of Zurich will get paid on the bet. Feb-15-16    Chessgames Bookie: To make it official from the official website: http://www.zurich-chess-challenge.c... Feb-17-16    Chessgames Bookie: All bets have been refunded on the Women's FIDE Grand-Prix 2015/16 Round 6 Daily Double. No one had the winner which was 'Black-Draw'. Feb-19-16    Chessgames Bookie: The final round(9) for Cappelle la Grande 2016 is coming up tomorrow. This round starts 4 hours earlier than previous rounds. Make sure to get your bets in early. I will post some games as soon as they become available. The ladies(Women's FIDE Grand-Prix) are off tomorrow(Saturday).

Feb-22-16    Chessgames Bookie: I have posted a 'Pick the Winner' bet for the International Chess Festival Aeroflot Open 2016 being held in Moscow, Russia from March 1st to March 9th. Feb-23-16    Chessgames Bookie: I have posted a few bets for the 8th Batavia Chess Tournament being held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. A perhaps lesser known tournament but there is some talent there.
