He can't wait to take some or all of your chessbucks. ;) ChessBookie Game Don't miss out on the fun for this Super Event - Starts Today!!! Mar-11-16    Touch of Knight: Substantial betting on Hou - Muzychuk! Good to see that the women are not ignored when the Candidates Tournament is running in parallel. Mar-11-16    Chessgames Bookie: Yes judging from the betting <Touch of Knight> the ladies are getting plenty of support & that is a good thing to see. Mar-11-16    wallytherhino: As of right now their is 10 hours until the bets close: CB Count: 626596 CB Wagered: 62454 % CB in bets: 9.96% Prediction (the total pool will 50% bigger in 10 hours): CB Count: 626596 CB Wagered: 93681 % CB in bets: 14.95% Will having roughly 10% of available CB funds in bets push the top 10 players to push their bets onto the field? Mar-11-16    wallytherhino: Reykjavik Open Round 6: Mamedyarov - G. Jones Currently has 150 CB in it's pool with 10 hours left to go. According to the historical record both men are tied against each other 1 win - 1 loss - 1 draw. The rating difference of 102 points does not mean as much as it normally does in these type of matches. Gawain Jones (2645) Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (2747) Mar-12-16    Chessgames Bookie: You were pretty close on your prediction (the total pool will 50% bigger in 10 hours) <wallytherhino>. The total chessbucks bet was around 96,000. You predicted 93,681 that's pretty close. ;) Mar-12-16    Chessgames Bookie: Those living in the U.S. of A. don't forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour. Daylight Savings Time will be in effect starting tomorrow 3/13. Mar-14-16    WinKing: Congratulations to GM Yifan Hou on winning the Women's World Championship Match! Mar-15-16    Penguincw: Wow, for World Chess Candidates Tournament Round 4 (Caruana - Topalov): OVER/UNDER, there are exactly 3,756 cbs placed for over and under. :p Mar-15-16    Chessgames Bookie: Yeah that surprised me too <Penguincw>. I thought they would have bet more on the under. I tried to reel in some fish but they didn't bite. ;) Mar-17-16    wallytherhino: The over under is a tricky bet from the player perspective. I always check the player history and tournament record. The fuzzy issue is the gray zone between 35-40. There are games where the lines follow past move 40, but many players are motivated by different reasons to play. The first couple rounds over seems to be a good pick because they are all fighting for first or second blood. The last couple of rounds there are many gentlemen draws to avoid a GM who has 2 losses from dropping way too many rating points, and a leader who wants to draw out to win by a close margin. The only exception to this rule is a young (early stage) Carlsen. Mar-18-16    WinKing: <wallytherhino: The over under is a tricky bet from the player perspective.> The over/under is tricky from the Bookie perspective as well <wallytherhino>. Let's face it there is no exact science to coming up with these #'s. I will look at player's tendencies from past games & try to come up with what I think will happen. So many factors the Opening, the match-up(players), past history, the situation(where are they in the standings). You yourself named a few. Make no mistake I will try to bait the bettor in one direction or the other. It is up to you to figure out which path I am trying to get you to go down. ;) Mar-21-16    Chessgames Bookie: I have accidentally paid the UNDER on the Anand-Aronian game. I have notified <chessgames> to correct it & pay the OVER on that bet. Sorry for the mistake. Mar-21-16    centralfiles: Thanks Bookie I see your on it already. I got scared my hot streak was over. Mar-21-16    TheFocus: <Chessgames Bookie: I have accidentally paid the UNDER on the Anand-Aronian game. I have notified <chessgames> to correct it & pay the OVER on that bet. Sorry for the mistake.> I accidentally discarded mine. I bet OVER ($100). Please fix this for me. Mar-21-16    Chessgames Bookie: <Focus:I accidentally discarded mine. I bet OVER ($100). Please fix this for me.> I'm pretty sure when <chessgames> corrects the problem all will good <Focus>. I don't think it matters if you cashed it in or not. Mar-21-16    TheFocus: <Chessgames.Bookie> thanks. I thought I had tossed it away. Mar-21-16    centralfiles: BTW when does the leg end? Mar-21-16    Chessgames Bookie: <centralfiles: BTW when does the leg end?> I'm pretty sure April 28th <centralfiles>. We started late & will finish late. That is the date that we agreed on when I talked to <chessgames>. Gives you guys plenty of time to accumulate lots of chessbucks! ;) The Spring leg will be a shorter one than normal as a result. Mar-21-16    Chessgames Bookie: Ok the correct payoff has now been made on the Round 9 (Anand - Aronian): OVER/UNDER bet. The OVER has been paid. Mar-22-16    Chessgames Bookie: We now have 300+ members playing the ChessBookie game. Mar-23-16    wallytherhino: Total Chess bucks (Sum Total): 659,348 CB Average CB Per Player: 2147.71 CB 10% of Pool: 65,934.80 CB 15% of Pool: 98,902.20 CB Mar-24-16    Penguincw: Uh, Bookie, what happened here?
