< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 405 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-26-16    Chessgames Bookie: <Karposian: So, it seems that Norway Chess may not end until April 30th.> No it will end on April 29th <Karposian>. I am not posting any bets for rapid or blitz matches. If they hold any kind of playoff for the winner of the Norway Chess tournament at a later date we may have to wait to pay off the 'pick the winner' bet. Maybe that is what you mean. I will not be adding any new bets once the 9th round is over. We will have to wait & see what happens. Apr-26-16    chessgames.com: <juan31: < Chessgames Bookie> ; please check if I have two loans, maybe I'm wrong, only I have one. Thank you> Hello Juan, I am not quite sure I understand the question. You are allowed to take out more than one loan; they just add together. So if you take 100 bucks and later 200 bucks, you'll owe 300 (plus interest). I looked in the log files and everything seems kosher. I see you recently paid back the Loanshark which means you have good credit with him and are allowed to go borrow more money. Apr-26-16    juan31: chessgames.com: the initial question was that suddenly appeared two loans on my account (I do not remember a notice of loan before applying what I consider a single loan). Apr-26-16    juan31: <Thank you > Chessgames Bookie and chessgames.com. for their answers Apr-26-16    Chessgames Bookie: <juan31: <Thank you > Chessgames Bookie and chessgames.com. for their answers> You are welcome <juan31>. Apr-26-16    Chessgames Bookie: We are down to the final three days of the ChessBookie Championship Leg. We have a close race brewing for top honors. Time to put whatever strategy you have in place. Good luck to all! Apr-28-16    Chessgames Bookie: Tomorrow (Fri. 4/29) is the final day of the ChessBookie Championship Leg. There's no holding back now. Time to put it into high gear if you want to move up in the standings. Apr-29-16    FSR: <Carlsen - Eljanov : Carlsen [cash in ticket] 10000 YOU WIN! COLLECT 16513> Thank you, Magnus! Apr-29-16    Karposian: Well played, <FSR>. Me, I'm a big Carlsen fan, but not today! I made some HUGE bets on Magnus NOT to win Norway Chess, in an effort to become Chessbookie Champion of the World. Oh well, worth a try. Congrats to <TIMER>, who has the title in the bag now, I should think. This Championship Leg has been great fun. And <WinKing> has been a great bookie! Apr-29-16    Chessgames Bookie: The Championship Leg is officially over. I will notify <chessgames> to look over numbers & then we can congratulate our winner! Apr-30-16    offramp: Is the chess bookie Tom Waits's younger brother? Apr-30-16    wordfunph: <Norway Chess 2016 Round 8: Aronian - Carlsen : Aronian [cash in ticket] 200 YOU WIN! COLLECT 1664 15:2 8.32 1,664 Apr-28-16> :) Apr-30-16    TIMER: Thankyou Karposian for the early congratulations but I guess we have to technically wait for Chessgames number checks first. But I am happy with my result ofcourse. Apr-30-16    Chessgames Bookie: I sent an e-mail to <chessgames> yesterday to let them know they should check every thing over. Sorry for the delay but sometimes the wheels turn slowly down there. Thank you all for your patience. Apr-30-16    WinKing: While we are waiting for <chessgames> response here are some interesting facts from this past Championship Leg. You the bettors wagered over $5,200,000 chessbucks this leg.
