I can't even imagine the prop bets that go on in your house Raptor. Nice one. What's the biggest/craziest prop bet you guys have ever had? [/ QUOTE ] this is without a doubt the sickest, though it prob has v v v low variance for me. im pretty much a lock in every respect. durrr = fish

Also, how does Curtains rate his edge in this game?
Did Durr ever have a chance or did he just bet 60k drawing stone dead....

And he originally wanted to play a GM down a knight... What convinced him that this was in any way feasible?

Sick. There's a reason people don't gamble on chess. Well.... normal people. [/ QUOTE ] Nothing could be further from the truth. Go to Washington Square Park or any warm moist spot where deviant chess players congregate and you'll find folks gambling on chess. (Yes you did say normal people but with that bar who gambles?) It's small stakes compared to a poker player's prop bets but just the same chess players gamble. Asa Hoffman use to offer weak class players time odds and mating square. The "fish" could pick the square before the games started, like d4 (middle of the board) and Asa would have to "mate" the on d4 or else he's lose the bet. I’ve watched IM Skirazi play GM Dzindzichashvili, in speed chess losing like $5,000 in about 20 minutes of play. I guess the major difference in chess gambling is if you can put your ego aside you should be smart enough to know the outcome before the bet starts.

Durrr actually played match 1 with Black and is playing match 2 with white now. Should there be a 3rd match he gets white again. One of the best lines from the chess match #1: Durrr: damn I screwed up back there, if I didnt make that mistake I couldve won this one. Curtains: Now let's not get carried away. -Apathy [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Top quality thread A+++

Re: Durrr in process of losing 60k+ in a chess bet.. good month for ra
I don't think your average Simon Sundayplayer has a chance against an IM even with rook odds, so yeah, this was pretty awful for durr.
I think I could at least draw, probably win, an IM if I had rook odds.
