< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 88 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-16-07    technical draw: <malthorpe> You have way too much money to be a cellar contender. Heck you're still in the positive. Don't even bother to try until you're at least -1,000. Aug-16-07    malthrope: <technical draw: <malthorpe> You have way too much money to be a cellar contender. Heck you're still in the positive. [...]> Why <TD> my comments were entirely of a satirical nature. ;-) What we really ought to establish is a separate 'Hall Of Shame' to compete directly with CG.com's 'Hall Of Fame!' Where Chessbookie Games duly recognizes also the grand champion losers... Only there will you get your recognized due! :-) Regards, - Mal PS: Back to betting... <grin> Aug-16-07    SwitchingQuylthulg: Wow I've hit a streak of success! Three days ago I was -1000, two days ago -600, yesterday I was -300 and now I'm +526... if this continues I'll appear on the "wrong" leaderboard soon ;-) Aug-16-07    technical draw: I'm a little worried. I made some pick 3 bets that could possibly set me back to zero. Maybe I should make no further bets and just coast to last place. Aug-16-07    Tactic101: What would happen if <Technical Draw> actually won the chessbookie? Aug-16-07    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Tactic101> There would be a loud bang and the world would cease to exist. By the way <technical draw> you'd better keep an eye on <Davolni> who's losing money so rapidly - 6000 bucks in a day - that you won't stand much of a chance should he try to depose you as the Losing King. Aug-16-07    Tactic101: When did <TD> start attempting to lose money? Or does he always attempt to win, but when he loses, he goes with the flow? I'll try to challenge him. Aug-16-07    technical draw: To win at gambling you must learn how to lose first. That's the best kept secret of pro-gamblers. (actually I just made that up). Aug-16-07    Ragh: <tech d> That sounds more along the lines of a famous saying "Failure is a stepping stone to success". <I got a new message from the chessbookie> Surely, you mean the Loanshark right. Or, should we call the Meanshark. I sympathize with your humiliation at his hands. Aug-16-07    redribbon3700: When does the summer league end Chessbookie? Aug-16-07    technical draw: <Ragh> Yes, you're right that was from the loanshark. The fat guy with the big cigar. I'm skipping town anyway and I have no plans on repaying him. Hold on a second there's a knock on the door and %&^)&$#*#))__(&)%$!!!!! Aug-17-07    Chessgames Bookie: <redribbon3700> The summer leg will finish around the end of September. Aug-17-07    redribbon3700: thanks a lot Chessgames Bookie Aug-17-07    technical draw: <sneaky> After <Davolni's> drunken spree you now have a chance to grab Numero Uno. Go to it! Aug-17-07    Tactic101: Here's what Mr Loanshark said to me last time: Patzers like you always come lookin' for a loan. OK, I'll see what I can do. Pathetic, isn't it? :) Aug-17-07    Sneaky: <technical draw: <sneaky> After <Davolni's> drunken spree you now have a chance to grab Numero Uno. Go to it!> I did it, all thanks to the unpredictable and baffling Mr. Jones!! Rd 10: Jones vs Van Wely $150 on Jones @ 15:2 odds pays $1125 wooo hooooooo catch me if you can!!! Aug-17-07    technical draw: <Sneaky> The bookie says this round will end at the end of September. So there's plenty of time for some one to catch up to you. Stonehenge is only 500 bucks back. So be cool and don't pull a Davolni on me. Good luck. You're my surrogate first placer. Aug-18-07    Sneaky: In the final analysis, this game is 10% savvy and 90% luck. Not unlike poker. Aug-18-07    SwitchingQuylthulg: Long live Pick Three! :) Aug-18-07    TIMER: I just went from about -2000 to +3000! Aug-18-07    lostemperor: Woohoo <TIMER> you never stop to amaze me! You won $4000 practically overnight. I guess <Sneaky> is not yet certain of his standing and neither is <technical draw> ;-) Aug-18-07    Tactic101: Someone is being extremely lucky here! Aug-18-07    Chessgames Bookie: Wagering is open on the team winner and individual winner of the NH Chess Tournament, which takes place from August 22nd to September 1st in Amsterdam, Holland. NH Chess Tournament: Team Winner NH Chess Tournament: Individual Winner Aug-18-07    Sneaky: Wow! You guys didn't expect all those last-round draws at the Staunton Memorial did ya? But I sure did!! A very nice last round for me, but not so good for the players right behind me. This puts me about 3500 chessbucks ahead of the pack. I will simply have to make almost no bets until somebody can catch up now; there's no more motivation for me to take risks. Staunton Memorial: Rd 11: McNab vs Werle : Draw [cash in ticket] 200 YOU WIN! COLLECT 583 Staunton Memorial: Rd 11: Pick Three : Draw/Draw/Draw [cash in ticket] 40 YOU WIN!

COLLECT 691 Aug-18-07    technical draw: Way to go sneaky! I think we have both solidified are respective positions.
