< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 182 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-04-10    Xenon Oxide: Hey, look at the odds in: <Rd 9: Cramling vs Yildiz>!!! Holy crap, man! The odds are just out of whack. May-04-10    wordfunph: <CG Bookie> i should have won bigtime in game 8 BUT <loanshark> didn't grant me a loan huhh! life is sometimes unfair.. May-05-10    wordfunph: <loanshark> when are you going to lend me cb? May-05-10    SloVice: <wordfunph: <loanshark> when are you going to lend me cb?> Probably about the same time <loanshark> offers me a loan. It's been 16 days now since I was last offered a loan. May-05-10    wordfunph: <SloVive> there must be something wrong, i regularly place my bets daily but <loanshark> is not making bookie players happy lately.. bookie should be fun but the fun is fading.. calling <CG Bookie>.. May-07-10    Barok Espinosa: I am not used to seeing the big boys here! <322. TITIKIZA -125 323. Touch of Knight -212 324. technical draw -221 325. danielpi -348 326. 4tmac -648 327. moronovich -776 328. wallytherhino -843 329. Robin01 -911 330. alcausin -991 331. vanderguile -1,690> Bad luck! Bad luck! Bad luck! Don't worry FIDE Grand Prix is ours!! We shall overcome... May-07-10    SloVice: <wordfunph> Hey! I don't know what you did, but thanks! Today I was offered a small(150 cb) loan. I can play again. Only 18 days after my last offer. Although, admittedly, I didn't check yesterday, so it could have been only 17 days. May-07-10    wordfunph: <SloVice> i'm starving for loans, <loanshark> may get his $5 a day for $100 if he wants.. calling <CG Bookie> <loanshark>, let me play...give me some monies. May-09-10    Sneaky: 26:1 to one for just betting the catch-all "other" on World Championship: Game 11: Anand vs Topalov: Opening !! Oh, I'm so dumb, why didn't I get a piece of that? It was so predictable that Anand would switch gears at this stage. May-09-10    DCP23: *cough* *cough* Nalchik Women's Grand Prix: Winner May-09-10    Barok Espinosa: I should have been 20 notches above my present position if the CG Bookie give my cb for winning in Nalchik (Kosintseva, T.)... :o( May-09-10    wordfunph: me too...i should have been in top three but <loanshark> is not too generous in giving away loans...bad joke! :-0 May-10-10    Graf Zeppelin: <Sneaky: 26:1 to one for just betting the catch-all "other" on World Championship: Game 11: Anand vs Topalov: Opening !! Oh, I'm so dumb, why didn't I get a piece of that? It was so predictable that Anand would switch gears at this stage.> I also have that in mind. Just get lucky at times... <World Championship: Game 11: Anand vs Topalov: Opening : OTHER [cash in ticket] 200 YOU WIN! COLLECT 5321 26:1 26.61 5,321 May-09-10> May-10-10    Barok Espinosa: 25 minutes to Astrakhan and still no sign of my Tatiana... cb payment from Nalchik, I mean. Most probably, I'll just place my wager here: Mamedyarov : $200, Ivanchuk : $100, Svidler : $60, Ponomariov : $30... you could pay me here also. ;o) May-14-10    wordfunph: <CG Bookie> how 'bout covering 2010 U.S. Championship? Round 1 begins tomorrow.. May-15-10    Boomie: <CG Bookie> My tickets have a 5/14 settlement date. It's now 5/15 your time. Pay up, chump. May-15-10    Boomie: <CG Bookie> It's now 4 hours past the settlement date for the 5/14 tickets. Frankly, if you are not going to follow your own rules, what good is this game? I for one am through with it. May-15-10    wordfunph: <Boomie> it's the same old story.. May-17-10    malthrope: <ChessBookie> - I have a question? Is there any particular reason that all bets from Round #7 (May 17th) from the 'FIDE Grand Prix' were <"closed down"> 3 hours ahead (*) of games start (instead of 1 hour ahead as it was previously all setup for)? Astrakhan Rd 7: Wang Yue vs Mamedyarov Astrakhan Rd 7: Radjabov vs Jakovenko Astrakhan Rd 7: Ponomariov vs Gelfand Astrakhan Rd 7: Leko vs Ivanchuk Astrakhan Rd 7: Inarkiev vs Eljanov Astrakhan Rd 7: Gashimov vs Svidler Astrakhan Rd 7: Alekseev vs Akopian Just curious? Regards, - Mal PS: May-15-10: <wordfunph: <Boomie> it's the same old story..> It would be really nice to hear an explanation of <"any story">. o_O The way in which the inconsistencies are building up around here are becoming quite discouraging to some of us... :( All IMHO. :) <(*)> FYI: The round start times at FIDE Grand Prix in Astrakhan begin at 15:00 venue time (the last round probably starts at 13:00). This translates into games starting at 7 AM <CG.com> server time. May-17-10    bharatiy: <CB> can you have a bet for who will get the spot in the candidates based on current rules and position? May-18-10    wordfunph: <CB> thank you for bringing back my bread-and-butter PICK 3 whewww! May-18-10    Chessgames Bookie: <malthrope> No rhyme or reason with those closing times, just a mistake. <bharatiy> A bit late for that proposition. <wordfunph> You're welcome, we'll have pick threes for the rest of the rounds. May-18-10    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Chessgames Bookie: <bharatiy> A bit late for that proposition.> Why? It's still completely open. May-18-10    wordfunph: <Chessgames Bookie: <wordfunph> You're welcome, we'll have pick threes for the rest of the rounds.> gracias <CB> yahoooo!!! good luck to the front-runners coz i'm coming...this is it! May-20-10    Chessgames Bookie: <SwitchingQuylthulg> Ok, you are right, but since we already have a wager on the winner of the tournament and there are only a few rounds left in the tournament, I'm going to pass on setting up that proposition.
