No because I suck. If I owned I'd hustle monies.

No. I don't think 'real' competitive gaming will ever really hit the mainstream. It's too skill based, like chess. It's also too susceptable to cheating, like chess. Not good for spectators since the result is largely decided beforehand and not good for competitors unless they're at the absolute top, again like chess.

Perhaps like chess, it could work if players were assigned ratings and competitions were divided into categories by rating, with higher categories awarding larger prizes to discourage intentional rating-dumping. Not that chess is huge or anything but at least the system is workable.

Dunno how to deal with the cheating though.

Re: Would you play online games for real $$$?
 

it is never going to get as big as poker, because of the lack of luck involved in these games. I mean why pay money if you will never win anyways?
Ofcourse I play pro evo against friends with a little wager added too it, just to make it more exciting.

Re: Would you play online games for real $$$?
 

i dunno in some games the skill game is way too much to overcome like SSMB for example. At least in poker i have a chance of winning.

Re: Would you play online games for real $$$?
 

yes

Re: Would you play online games for real $$$?
 

I would only if i knew I had an edge over most of the other players.

Currently that would probably only be: Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Maybe Super Smash Brothers Melee.

Re: Would you play online games for real $$$?
 

Of course I would. Why not? It costs me $20 or less to make a deposit and try it. I try lots of things for $20 and most of them don't come with an opportunity to have as much fun as online games for money. Do I ever feel cheated? Maybe sometimes, but no more so than when I buy other things online or offline.
