  FSR: Back to positive-land after betting $C1000 on Caruana to win the tournament! At least now Sharky won't be sending his goons to break my legs.

  FSR: <Bookie> Now that Altibox Norway is over, maybe you could have some bets on the American Continental (2018)?
Jun-07-18  WinKing: I might post something in a day or two <FSR>. Right now the bookie is taking a day off after that Norway debacle. The American Continental Championship goes 11 rounds so there is plenty of time. It all depends if they get the pairings up in a reasonable amount of time.
Jun-07-18  zborris8: <morfishine, centralfiles>

Meat's back on the table, boys!

121. zborris8 -8,395 to 753

I'm out. :)

Jun-08-18  centralfiles: <Zboris> congrats now you need to stay out.

  Chessgames Bookie: <FSR> I will try & post some games for rounds 10 & 11 in the <American Continental Championship 2018>. Only one or two games from each round would be posted. Unless you are from South America many of the players may be unfamiliar to you. The key being that they get the pairings up in a reasonable amount of time. Remember we have members from all around the world here & everyone deserves a shot to get their bets in. I like having at least a 12-16hr betting window minimum.

  Chessgames Bookie: Here is a sneak peak @ the <American Continental Championship 2018>>. Shown below is the upcoming Rd.9 of which I will not post any games.

You can familiarize yourself with all of the players that are in contention.

Yeah <morf> it gives us a chance to check out players from all over the world. I really didn't expect Shankland to hold his 2700 rating but so far he is proving me wrong. It's like he hit 2700 & said "Oh yeah I get it now".

  Chessgames Bookie: I will be posting a game or two from the final Round 11 of the American Continental Championship if they ever get the pairings up. There will not be much time to place your bets as the 11th round starts 7½ hrs sooner than the previous round.

  Chessgames Bookie: There are a couple of bets posted for the final 11th round of the American Continental Championship. Place your bets!
Jun-10-18  Dr Winston OBoogie: Coming up on the outside Dr Winston Oboogie!! 11th for the first time in years probably, although this is my only serious attempt since that leg where Fred and Syd had beef, lol.
Jun-10-18  morfishine: Carlsen is currently the highest rated player in all 3 categories: Rapid, Blitz & Classic. As of 6/10/2018 his blitz rating is 2939

<Dr Winston OBoogie> Keep going, a couple more home runs and you'll be right in the thick of things

  Chessgames Bookie: The next event up for the ChessBookie game is the Grand Chess Tour(Your Next Move) Rapid tournament being held in Leuven, Belgium which starts on Tuesday, June 12th @ 08:00hrs(8am E.D.T. chessgames time) - (14:00hrs or 2pm GMT+2 Belgium time).

I am not sure how they will determine the pairings or when they will draw lots(or whatever they do). We will have to be patient until the pairings are posted. I would like to have some games up & posted tomorrow(Mon. June 11th) for rounds 1, 2, & 3 which take place on Tues, June 12th. Again, it all depends how quick the tournament organizers are at getting the pairings posted.

  Chessgames Bookie: If anyone sees how(& or when) the pairings will be determined by the Grand Chess Tour please post it here - thanks! I have checked several chess websites but have not seen it yet myself.

  Chessgames Bookie: Bets have been posted for rounds 1 thru 3 in the GCT(YNM) tournament. Place your bets!
Jun-11-18  morfishine: <Chessgames Bookie> I thought this round of bets was limited to winners. Now I'm tapped out and a whole bunch of other bets opened up. Can the Loanshark see it in his heart to extend me another 500 CB loan so I can at least participate

Or is his heart as black as the dark before darkness?
