< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 479 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-10-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: <Chessgames Bookie: I am contemplating putting up a 'Pick 4' bet, *The Beast*, sometime during the U.S. Championship tournament. No promises just pondering the idea. ;)> I think Annie did that once. Well I hope you do, someone could come out of nowhere and win it! If I can win 2k from a 10 cb P3 wager, anyone could pick up 10k with a P4 winner. It's not over yet, Morf! Good luck :) Mar-10-19    Chessgames Bookie: Congratulations to GM Xiong on winning the Spring Chess Classic A tournament 2019 with a score of 6/9. He defeated GM Robson in the final round. Mar-11-19    morfishine: <Dr Winston OBoogie...It's not over yet, Morf! Good luck :)> You bet your bottom dollar it aint over. I've hit one 9,000 winning wager and 2X 7,000 winning wagers, so anything can happen and anyone with any CB's can win this thing. Mar-12-19    wordfunph: <Prague Masters 2019 Round 6: How many decisive games? : Zero games decisive (All Draws) [cash in ticket] 10 YOU WIN! COLLECT 456 45:1 45.65 456 Mar-12-19> not bad.. Mar-12-19    Chessgames Bookie: A nice little hit <wordfunph>. They can add up quick. :) Mar-12-19    wordfunph: alright <CGB>, race is getting interesting for the 2nd spot :) amigo <moronovich>, what's your feeling up there? Mar-12-19    morfishine: <wordfunph> Don't be so negative, there's still the remaining games of this tournament and then the US Championships This race is not for 2nd spot since there's plenty of action left Wonderful showing My dear <moronovich>! A most formidable showing Mar-12-19    wordfunph: <morf> i'm just kidding, have u seen the emoticon at the end? don't get too serious hehehe.. i know the race is still open. goodluck to all. Mar-13-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: <wordfunph: alright <CGB>, race is getting interesting for the 2nd spot :)> I'm on your heels, Mr Funph :) Mar-13-19    Annie K.: <♕ Bettors and Worse, your attention please... ♕> The recently announced Gashimov Memorial (aka Shamkir Chess https://shamkirchess.com/), scheduled to take place between March 30 and April 9, is going to be a very strong event. If we ended the Championship Leg with the end of the US Championship, as originally planned, given the necessary break between legs, the Bookie wouldn't be able to cover it. Therefore, I asked, and <WinKing> graciously consented, to include the event in this leg. The Championship Leg is now scheduled to end on April 9th. Good luck to everybody! Mar-13-19    morfishine: Great <Annie K.>! Are we within an imminent pay cycle day? Mar-13-19    Annie K.: PayDay happens once a leg, and we've already had it in February. Mar-13-19    morfishine: But Dear <Annie K.>, now we are working overtime Mar-13-19    moronovich: <If we ended the Championship Leg with the end of the US Championship, as originally planned, given the necessary break between legs, the Bookie wouldn't be able to cover it. Therefore, I asked, and <WinKing> graciously consented, to include the event in this leg. The Championship Leg is now scheduled to end on April 9th.> I am not shure this is fair to the players.At least my play recently has relied on the US Championship being the final tournament. Mar-13-19    wordfunph: i concur with <moronovich>. Mar-13-19    wordfunph: <Dr Winston OBoogie: I'm on your heels, Mr Funph :)> Doc, i'm waiting for your harakiri stride :) Mar-14-19    morfishine: I agree with <moronovich> stuff shouldn't be changed mid stream Mar-14-19    beatgiant: Not saying it's fair, but I think events have often been added mid stream, including the Gashimov itself in last year's Championship Leg, if I remember right. If so, probably it would be a good idea to state in the upcoming events list that it's not guaranteed to be complete. Now, is the Gashimov in or out? Everyone's risk tolerance level depends on this ;-) Mar-14-19    wordfunph: <Mar-01-19 Premium Chessgames Member Chessgames Bookie: Sneak peek: U.S. Chess Championship 2019 (St. Louis, MO USA)> <This will be the tournament we close the Bookie Championship Leg (2019) with.> i call it credibility breakdown.. Mar-14-19    Chessgames Bookie: Talk to the boss <wordfunph> you know who that is! Mar-14-19    Chessgames Bookie: An awful lot of moaning & groaning going on around here. Can you guys play this game or just complain? Mar-14-19    moronovich: <Chessgames Bookie: An awful lot of moaning & groaning going on around here.> I see 3-4 posts with a simple objection. Is that an awful lot ? Or perhaps your ignore list is shorter than mine ? Mar-14-19    wordfunph: just like in chess, when you touched a piece you should move it and be a gentleman. this case is a total embarrassment to Chesshames Bookie. Mar-14-19    Chessgames Bookie: Your all soft! Mar-14-19    beatgiant: <moronovich> When you're a bookie, the pay is nothing, the work is thankless, and you have a hard-boiled image to live up to.
