  eternaloptimist: I apologize for the long delay in replying.
<wordfunph> That is true. Like Yogi Berra said, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” U r welcome & thanks for considering doing another “big wigs” for us! <Chnebelgrind> Yes, when u get deep in the negative sometimes a pick 3 is the only thing that u can bet on to pull u out of a deep hole. Thanks for explaining in detail how u pulled off that great comeback! Congratulations again on winning this leg!

  moronovich: Something doesn´t add up..
My account says 5.641 bucks
but the leaderboard says 5.983...
Dec-11-19  Count Wedgemore: Same here, <moro>. My current net worth is 3,505, while the leaderboard says it's 3,371.
Dec-11-19  mike1: Same here. 2156 versus 2185
Dec-11-19  mike1: And no new bets on anything (Monaco)?
Dec-11-19  WinKing: Hi <ChessBookie>. I would hope there will be a few bets listed for the Classical(games) portion of the Jerusalem Grand Prix. This is not strictly a Rapid & Blitz event. Thanks for your consideration on this matter.

  Telemus: Hello <ChessBookie>! Thank you for all your effors.

I would have been very happy if I could have made some bets on the winners of the tie-breaks in Jerusalem.

  Telemus: OMG! I would have lost many cg-bucks!
Dec-14-19  mike1: Would have loved some more possibilities to bet on something! Nothing for 2 days and tonight's bets on Monaco's ladies event without any competition...

Dec-20-19  mike1: Annie K. is no longer with CG (happy, very happy!to stand corrected). What happens to our beloved betting game, please?

<mike1>

We'll just have to wait for the admins to hire a replacement. I am sure the Chess Bookie will be a priority, given it is so popular with many dues-paying members.

Chess editors will also have to wait for a replacement to process game uploads and corrections slips.

<Annie> the hardest working woman in show business was doing both jobs, as far as I can tell.

Dec-23-19  mike1: There is always hope!
Guess that's it for 2019.
Have a peaceful and relaxing Christmas time and a good start in Anno 2020. Congratulations to Moronovich for winning this leg. See you all next year!
Dec-24-19  morfishine: <moronovich> Congratulations Dear sir!

You are the Admiral of the action,
the Wizard of wager,
the Hero of the hunch,
the Master of the melee!

Well Done!

  moronovich: Thanks <mike1>

and thanks <morf> !

But on the other hand,it doesn´t feel like a true victory,as unfortunately,and I mean it,the other contestants didn´t have a fair chance to catch up.
