Always fun to play here.
Congrats to all of the medal winners in this contest. Special congrats to <Switch> & <moronovich> on picking up gold medals in the Square & Absolute Rankers! Kudos to <moronovich> on winning his first gold ever & gaining access to the HOF! :) |

 | | OhioChessFan: Thanks Yoda. |
|
| Jan-31-16 | | Karposian: Ouch! Only $0.64 away from a medal in the Pair Betting Ranker..why me? WHY ME?? Congrats to the winners, a stellar performance by <moronovich> in particular, winning two golds and gaining 43 bucks in the PBR. Thanks, <lostemperor>, for once again giving us so much joy with this great contest. See you all at the Candidates! Oh and by the way, <Penguincw> finished in 20th place out of 22 contestants in all three contests. So, a good tip for anyone who wants to do well in this contest is this: Copy <Penguincw>'s suggestions, just remember to turn them upside down! You are guaranteed to get a good result. |

| | Penguincw: < Copy <Penguincw>'s suggestions, just remember to turn them upside down! You are guaranteed to get a good result. > Not always. I've won a triple crown in this contest before, but also a <losing> triple crown. You, aside from that practice event last month, always have had a bad performance. Everyone has their bad tournaments. You, have bad prediction contests. |
|
| Jan-31-16 | | Karposian: <Penguincw: You, aside from that practice event last month, always have had a bad performance.> Always? Strange thing to say. I just finished this event at 7th, 6th, and 4th. That's not a bad performance. I'll tell you about a bad performance: finishing 20th, 20th and 20th. |

(Boo hoo: Last tournament, London CC - win PAIR BETTING RANKER by $ 25 margin - competition not for real / not Hall Of Fame material. Try to repeat feat, instead: Dead last ...) Looking forward to the next chance! |
