The odds for the final win here are a bit mistaken:you can't give to Tebb 0.22 and mistsplicer 0.25, it doesn't reflect the real value of players in this context.
Here are my odds for the winner of this tournament:
DavidTebb 2/1
Quirine 5/1
Nichuyboom 10/1
Mistsplicer 15/1
I will pay in recs to the ones who guessed the winner.
e.g.:ark bets Quirine,Quirine wins then I must rec 5 of ark's posts,if Quirine loses he must rec 5 posts of mine.
Then all losing bets should be payed to me,if you accept the odds I proposed.
Uh,needless to say that I bet Mr.Tebb.
Given the slow nature of final rounds between high rated players betting will close on Monday 21:00 european est time (+1GMT)
Bets are open!

Did you look at the games to come up with your odds?
Otherwise I think the rating points should be a good indicator of strength.
One could have some weighing if one looks up who was beaten by whom previously.
But after all surprises happen. So I won't venture any bet.
quirine v nicohuyboom ... 3/2/2
tebb v nicohuyboom .... 0/1/1
quirine v tebb ..... 2/3/2
which would suggest quirine and nicohuyboom should be favourites
it is especially notable that quirine has been winning ALL the recent encounters!!!
looking at the games rate of play : i think a lot will be determined by tebb being able to pace himself and play correspondence style rather than regular tournament speeds ... so far he is still playing fast ... quirine seems to be taking these games more seriously than other games.
my money is now on quirine ... and i bet mistsplicer does not come last.

As stated in my profile, Quirine is my daughter and I am her father.

I see you are from Dieren. I come originally from Didam, you probably have heard of it, since it is so very closeby.

If there was a bookie out there giving 15/1 odds on mistsplicer, I would take a whole load of that action! This is a very strong player.
He may be the outsider in that he hasn't yet had much chance agisnt the very top players here, but his record against lower players is second only to very few. An ousider certainly, but I'd agree with you on those odds.
