  Penguincw: Wow, I actually qualified. All it took was one lucky bet. Without that lucky bet, I'd actually be at 2009 cbs, or +9.

Congrats to <Kynas> and the other qualifiers. See you in a few days.

Aug-05-19  morfishine: Withe St Louis to start in 3 days, is it too early to post up some bets?

  Penguincw: If all games are decisive, will this bet be refunded?

Sinquefield Round 3: How Many Draws?

Aug-19-19  sydbarrett: Betting against draw in Sinquefeld classical tournaments is suicide. Must repeat mantra to myself
Aug-20-19  varishnakov: Chess betting is simple: Draw, Draw, Draw, Draw-Draw-Draw.
Aug-20-19  sydbarrett: true story: i was doing my betting last minute, and was about to put 100 more on D-D-W at last minute, for a missed profit of 1000ish. Just missed it by seconds. Not blaming anyone or saying that this game is very important. Just saying.
Aug-20-19  Count Wedgemore: Starting to feel the pressure, <syd>? It's hard to hold on to that top spot with so many chasing you from behind :)

I'm feeling pressure too. From the 9th spot.

Aug-21-19  Count Wedgemore: <Penguincw> Yeah, looking at the standings, <blade> and me, we're breathing down your neck, so you better watch your six :)

  moronovich: Were having a couple of beers in the cellar with <morf>.And suddenly he left the building):
Aug-21-19  sydbarrett: No pressure. I just want to win every bet that I believe I deserve to win. My hunger for finding winning bets is insatiable. I can play it safe, but I want to create an ocean for a moat that separates me from the rest of the field. :))

  Penguincw: < ERROR : Your account does not have enough money to afford this wager. >

Hmm.

Oh wait, I've been too lazy to click [cash in ticket].

Aug-23-19  wordfunph: life is miserable without my friend loanshark :(
Aug-25-19  sydbarrett: The draw-rains finally dissipated today, and I couldn't profit from it because I didn't bet correctly. Bloody disappointing, I say! Whoever put a medium sized chip on W-W-D and made my share of the profit less than my total bets placed on the chess-roulette table, you chose your bet well. A toast to you.
