< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 458 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-16-18    sydbarrett: I wish I had put more on Karjakin myself. He just lost though so I'm not sure if he is still Blitz champ? I need his jackpot :( Giri is not a speed player. He and Caruana I instantly ruled out. Pick Three is W-W-W?? Blitz is crazy Jun-16-18    OhioChessFan: Blitz. Meh. Might as well throw darts. I've tossed a few dollars here and there but the utter randomness of this makes it really not fun. Jun-16-18    OhioChessFan: I had 25 chessbucks on W-W-B on the Pick 3. How in the world did lousy Caruana win a blitz game? Jun-16-18    sydbarrett: Karjakin won Blitz. Cash out please Jun-16-18    Chessgames Bookie: Congratulations to GM So for winning the Grand Chess Tour(YNM) tournament with a score of 22/36! Also, congratulations to GM Karjakin for winning the Blitz portion of the contest with a score of 11.5/18! I have put some 'Pick the Winner!' bets up for the Paris Grand Chess Tour(Rapid & Blitz) tournament that is coming up. Place your bets! Jun-16-18    morfishine: <sydbarrett...Giri is not a speed player> Thats why I bet on him :) Jun-16-18    sydbarrett: Will there be plenty of bets for the final two tournaments? I'm down for it. Jun-16-18    sydbarrett: FSR was doing pretty well until a few hours ago. Don't worry if you finish in the negative zone Fred; I wrote this down so that posterity will know that you in fact were doing great until the final days. Jun-16-18    morfishine: Go <sydbarrett>! Old <OCF> is playing chicken s__t not hardly betting He who hesitates, gets run over. You can catch him with a couple of select homers! Jun-16-18    sydbarrett: I was playing rapid and blitz bets for fun. Didn't expect any results like this. Honest Jun-16-18    Chessgames Bookie: <sydbarrett: Will there be plenty of bets for the final two tournaments? I'm down for it.> Maybe. Jun-16-18    FSR: Thanks, <syd>. Sometimes the bookie gods smile upon one, sometimes not. Jun-17-18    Chessgames Bookie: I see our 'Bookie Champion 18' has fought his way out of 'the Abyss'. Way to go <Count>! :) Jun-17-18    Count Wedgemore: <Bookie> Thanks. Good to breathe some air again! A good finish in the Paris Rapid&Blitz and I'll end up with a decent result. Jun-19-18    Chessgames Bookie: As usual we are waiting for the pairings for the Paris Grand Chess Tour. I will have some bets posted when they become available. Jun-19-18    OhioChessFan: No rush... Jun-19-18    OhioChessFan: I've always pitied the Bookie. Late pairings in prediction contests make people grumble a little, but this place seems to have people out for blood. Jun-19-18    Chessgames Bookie: This Bookie gig <OCF> is relatively easy. The only part that is a pain in the $#@ is waiting for the pairings. Incidents like Ding Liren dropping out are rare & people grumbling are really not a problem. If it were not for the 'pairings wait' I would do this job forever. Jun-19-18    WannaBe: Still waiting for the World Championship pairing in London... Jun-19-18    OhioChessFan: No rush... Jun-19-18    Chessgames Bookie: Ok, the pairings are up. Give me a little time & I will have some bets posted. https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t... Jun-19-18    Chessgames Bookie: Bets are in place for rounds 1 thru 3(Day 1) of the Paris GCT (Rapid). Place your bets! Jun-20-18    sydbarrett: If one of my horses don't make the finish line first, I am so doomed lol Jun-20-18    Chessgames Bookie: I imagine there are a few others in the same boat <syd>. You won't go down in flames alone. The old saying 'misery loves company'. Jun-20-18    Chessgames Bookie: But let's keep a positive note here. ;) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 458 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
