  Diademas: Being the least sucsessfull chess gambler in recorded history I want it to be known that all players, good or bad, should be welcommed in each seasons. It is after all just a silly past time. If anyone feels their chance of saving $29 is in jepardy, let me recomend paid employment.
Jul-11-17  sydbarrett: I wish the gift was an Amazon certificate, but I love chessgames.com too! How about better membership and a little Amazon spending money. :))
Jul-11-17  sydbarrett: Actually I play for the glory of being remembered in the Hall of Chessgames Bookie legends. I do mean that. Worth more than $29 easily. :D

Enough yapping for me for this month, gl.

  FSR: Wow, I actually won three bets! First bets I've won in this entire leg.
Jul-13-17  User not found: That's why you're here singing, Cuddlebumps lol. I'm only joking with you but a lot of truth is said in jest.

48's on a WDD ticket!? I had my lucky 6 cb's which saved me from the basement.. I don't want to share a room with Big Pawn from the rogoff page, lol.

  WannaBe: 50cb on my distant cousin Wang to win Dortmund 2017! Wheeeeee.
Jul-13-17  sydbarrett: As for me, I'm not totally in jest. If you challenge me bro/sis, I accept. I'm being challenged right now
Jul-15-17  sydbarrett: FSR back from the dead, stalking me

  FSR: LOL :-)
Jul-19-17  bubuli55: I hope bookie would add the three other games for separate bettings. Those are the games that can go either way.

  Annie K.: Hmm... the player pool is still smallish, but at least there's plenty of time, given that tomorrow is a rest day. OK, why not. :)
Jul-20-17  sydbarrett: This one is starting to feel tough. I will keep trying

Jul-23-17  sydbarrett: You big dummmy
Jul-23-17  sydbarrett: I hope you didn't change your betting pattern to draws today or you'll be slapping yourself silly... :/
Jul-23-17  TheFocus: I only bet on the Woj game. W to win.

  FSR: Georgiadis and Studer are the only players at Biel who have huge odds against them. At Dortmund, OTOH, I bet 10 $cb on Radjabov and won 1,342. Insane odds for a guy rated 2724.
Jul-25-17  varishnakov: I also bet 10 dollars on Radjabov :-)
