 | | Annie K.: Very little time left, but I'll try putting up a couple of first round bets. |
|
| Aug-02-17 | | User not found: Annie. I just wondered. Seeing as I've already used this username to bet at the chess bookies this leg (I've got about 850 cbs) and I've started using my other username can I just start from scratch or for this leg do I have to keep logging into this account to make my wagers? I forgot all about it, I don't mind logging into this username but given that there's only 150 cb's difference can I just start afresh with my new username? You can deduct 150 cb's if you want I just didn't want to cause someone more time and work messing around by deducting 150 that's all. Thank you :) |

| | Annie K.: Hi Mark, sorry, I can't do that... You'll have to play out this leg with the UNF account. Just start using your new account at the start of the next leg. If you qualify this leg, though, we'll be sure to enter your new account as a qualifier for the Championship leg. :) |
|
| Aug-02-17 | | User not found: Okay Annie I've no problem with that. I've been unsure whether or not to bet with <this username> whilst posting with my other because Daniel said it's one of the things you get your username erased for. You know I wouldn't have done it deceitfully though, I just thought it would have been easier. No worries.. Unless today's bets don't pay off and then I'll be back ;) |
|
| Aug-02-17 | | Marmot PFL: Seems like both losing bets were deducted today, but neither winning bet was paid. Not the first time I've noticed this either. |
|
Aug-03-17
| | Annie K.: <Marmot PFL> I have no idea what you're talking about... all bets were paid out. <Mark> nobody gets banned for using one account to post and another to play in the Bookie game. *Playing* with more than one account in the same leg is what's forbidden. :) |
|
| Aug-03-17 | | Dr Winston OBoogie: That's what I meant Annie. I was just going to start over with this account and completely forget the other one but I once saw Daniel saying to have 2 games with 2 usernames in one leg is an impeachable offence.. I understand if I was nowhere near 1000 cb's but I'm only about 100 cb's away. Anyways no worries and thanks for the answer :) |
|
| Aug-03-17 | | Marmot PFL: Yeah right. Well i won't waste any more time on this bullcrap game. |
|
| Aug-05-17 | | sydbarrett: see you next leg. thanks for playing =) |

<<FSR>>. Never trust a man with no vowels in his name ;) |

 | | chessgames.com: <john barelycorn> There may have been a misunderstanding here. When I go into your account I see a fairly large net worth but 0 funds. That means that you are being credited for your tickets, both the ones that are live (credited at face value) or tickets that have won (worth the full winning amount.) However, "net worth" is not something you can wager with. I see you have at least one winning ticket: if you cashed that in, then your net worth would stay the same, but your "funds" would go up enabling you to make the bets you want. I hope this clarifies the problem and I am understanding the problem correctly. |

| Aug-09-17 | | john barleycorn: <chessgames.com: <john barelycorn> There may have been a misunderstanding here. > How did it happen that my 2 bets on round 6 in Sinquefield were confirmed but do not show up and consequently no there is no payout? |

| | chessgames.com: <How did it happen that my 2 bets on round 6 in Sinquefield were confirmed but do not show up and consequently no there is no payout?> I misunderstood your issue. You are saying you placed two bets, but then later the tickets are gone and the money is too? Could it possibly be that you actually placed losing bets and swept them away with the "discard losing ticket" feature? Are you sure you bet on who you thought you did? I don't think for a second you'd lie about this game but from my point of view, the notion that you're simply mistaken seems to make the most sense. Here's the issue: I have the logfile that shows what bets you made, which presumably should be complete. I look you up and see several 200 cb bets in a row, all on losers. But now you're saying there were two additional bets, that for some reason where not placed into the logfile, which actually won. Please don't take this as an accusation or a way to brush you off — it's just a logical analysis: If there was some bug that made winning tickets vanish, how could it possible know to not write the winning tickets to the logfile way back on August 5th, before the game was even played? The "bug" would have to contain an oracle to tell it which bets to suppress, on April 5th, for the games played on April 6th. In other words, that's impossible. So that leaves only a few possibilities: (1) you're simply mistaken (2) some bets vanish at random and in your case it just coincidentally happened to be the bets that were winners (3) you have more than one account and accidentally placed the winning bets while you were signed into the other account. (Which is against the rules but we let it slide if it's not being done intentionally.) I know that the system has some quirks and downright bugs, SQ and I explored several of them during his stints as bookie, but the idea of winning tickets vanishing without compensation has never come up in all these years. So I'm really thinking one of the three possibilities above explain it, especially 1 or 3; i.e., there's really no bug. |

| Aug-11-17 | | john barleycorn: Thanks for the comment.
ad 1. I placed bets on Aronian (against So 200cb) and on Nakumura (against Carlsen 200cb) in round 6 of the Sinquefield Cup a few hours before the games started. both bets were confirmed. When trying to place a 3rd bet on Karjakin I got the message about insufficient funds. That was the reason for my first post on the chessgames.com page. After Aronian won and Nakamura drew I checked about the payout. There was no payout which was the reason for my second post on chessgames.com. ad 2. the bet on Aronian was a winner, the bet on Nakamura was a loser by the results of the games. ad 3. I have only this account on CG |

| | chessgames.com: <barleycorn> Thanks for the replies. I'm still confounded, particularly because when I look at the logfile the losing bets I referred to were round 4 bets — I don't see ANY bets for round 6, winning nor losing. What I see is that you haven't been playing lately (which is why I suggested that perhaps you had another account that accidentally played.) I see plenty of other bets by other people around that time so it's not that the logging was temporarily broken, so that's not it. The "you must be mistaken" theory seems to be blown out of the water as you're very clear about who you bet on and when you did it, and even recall details about the system's responses to your bets. I'm going to have to meditate on this. I'm sorry I don't have an answer. |
|
| Aug-11-17 | | john barleycorn: <chessgames.com: ... — I don't see ANY bets for round 6, winning nor losing. ...> There are no more bets and that is why I contacted you. Again, a few hours before round 6 started I placed 2 bets which were confirmed and the 3rd bet was rejected due to lacking money. Later bets were rejected right away due to insufficient funds until you told me to cash in my round 4 ticket. After that I did not place any bets. However, it is already strange that my funds showed exactly zero since I usually bet "round" amounts (50, 100, 200) and my networth was not a round amount before if I am not terrible mistaken. |

| | FSR: The two new bets both close on August 14 and pay out on August 12? Weird. |
