If you've signed up, here's how to play: https://www.chess.com/news/view/how-to-play-the-simul

Let's play a fun betting game! Bet on how I will do against all of these people! (In a simul, I play all of them at once!)

2 Steps:

1. Guess how well I will do in the following format: # of wins - # of draws - # of losses

For example: 7 - 0 - 2 means you think I will win 7 games, draw 0, and lose 2.

2. Put a wager - you have 3 options:

Option #1 - Wager 1 award. If your guess is off by 3 points, you get 1 award.

For example, if you guessed 9-0-0 and I got 6-0-3, you still win!

Option #2 - Wager 3 awards. If your guess is off by 1 point, you get 3 awards.

Option #3 - Wager 5 awards. If your guess was perfect, you win 5 awards!

So an example bet would be:

5-1-3, bet 3 awards

Additional rules:

1. Only one bet/wager per person, please.

2. Awards will be granted to everyone who wins, not just the most accurate person or the one who bid the highest.

3. Betting ends once I have finished a game. (So you can still bet a couple minutes after 7pm EST)

Have fun!
