I've placed £5.00 on Annad and have the betting slip to prove it.
Some thoughts (not that many, it's time for you to add yours)
on the coming World Championship Match. I complain about the
venue and a glorious missed opportunity regarding two venues.
I have used a couple of Maggie and Vishy's games to replicate some RHP
blunders and have a couple of Archangels for the lovers of this defence.

I was wondering if you should bet 5 on Magnus too.
The most you could lose would be 3.75 and your gain would be cut to 8.74.
This way you can lose 5 for a gain of 13.74.
Mathematically, are you supposed to bet on both (and root for Anand)?
My mind is mush right now, so someone else will have to work it out.
Do you just divide 8.74 by 3.75 - and 13.74 by 5? If so, the pay out looks better to only bet on one. --- I need sleep.

Originally posted by paulbuchmanfromficsNo, based on the figures GP gave he should bet on both sides as it minimises his potential loss. Also the odds aren't necessarily from the same bookie. Arbitrage is possible here maybe.

The odds on Carlsen are worth it if you have a spare £10,000.
At 1-4 You will get back £12.500 a profit of £2,500.
I fear I may be leading you all astray.
Next blog I'll teach you how put on a five hore accumulator
and how to roll a cigarette.
CHESS:
I've seen quite a few posts on chessgames.com saying it
should be Caruana instead of Anand. Fair enough, but
Anand is there on merit. He won the Challengers.
Caruana's day will come but he has to earn the right.
If, per chance, Anand wins the title back. The next challengers will include Carlsen.
Originally posted by greenpawn34Don't know if Anand got over the intimidation factor, which he suffered from in the first match. It will be good for chess if he does overcome that fear.
