Bet on the Scottish Blitz Championship

Post by Jonathan Edwards » Tue May 15, 2012 2:01 pm

There's a betting market on the Scottish Blitz through McBookie.

Check out the odds :D. McBookie

Favourite Arkadij Naiditsch is 15/8.

Alternatively go via the official website at http://www.scottishblitz.com. The event is listed under Novelty Markets.

9/2 shot Sabino Brunello won this from Danny Gormally, with favourite Naiditsch coming 3rd after losing in the last round to Simon Williams. Williams and Arkell 4th equal.

I'm not sure how big McBookie's book was.

No, he's an Italian laddie, from Bergamo, I think. GM, ranked no 2.

He may have some connection with Quality Chess, and I think his wee sister played for Bearsden in the Glasgow League last year.

(I should have mentioned that Neil Berry also finished equal 4th)

I was very impressed that Jonny Edwards managed to put this together as his organisational debut - good to see several foreign GMs and most of the home-based Scottish titled players for a change...
