The BEST Idea Ever

Holy Crap I should get paid for even POSTING this idea. I t is ingenuis. So awesome, I'll be pissed if I don't get paid. Ready: gambling on chess. Yes. I said it. People could register and put in there credit card stuff and then place small bets or none at all. Now, before anyone (erik) deletes this post, here me out. If we allow only members to gamble, cach-ing! Money. Not alot. But enough to better Chess.com. Think. We could expand to an application-like tool (optional) to play chess on. That will allow us 3D chess. Video Chat. Joystick. Headsets. Cooler stuf so cool I don't even know. Holy crap, I'll friggin design the program. It'll work. Man. I am awesome. It's these Skittles. Anywho: Gambling->Program->360 Games-> World Domination. I am actually being serouis. I am thinking Xbox 360 gaming hooking up to the internet, or PS3. Or whatever. The main obstacle is funding which is not a problem if Chess.com would allow bet's and stuff. I can't bet, though. I can't even ( well, not allowed) drive. Still. It is awesome idea. Wow It is. Catch yall later: i had this idea right before I was about to use the restroom. Alright: Think About it.

Thank you Grumpty. I like your John Mccain Icon.

Not a good idea IMHO, because chess.com has a reputation as one of the fairest and most cheater-free chess sites on the web. This would destroy that, leading people to throw games. Feel free to start your own site, though. See how it goes Laughing

I was just kicked out of live for nothing. If my idea is that bad, just tell me.

Its already being done on other sites, and its a BAD idea, the tempation to cheat would be too much for some ......I would never play for money unless it was OTB.

Hacintosh. That was one project I could never finish. Maybe because the Mac didn't work in the first place.

Members wouldn't cheat.

Mm40 is on target.  It would come down to who had the best computer program.  In any field of endeavor, when winning means more money, some people will look for a way to get the edge outside the rules.

Then we should still persue outside-of-the-browers games, that can callaborate with the normal browser games. I think this is going somewhere.

How about outside this web site altogether?

Winning money only means people will use programs like RYBKA to win.

Then we should ever night anylaize the games for computer predicted games versus human. If they match, then there is a cheater. And, we can only have exclusive members gamble. If it isn't a good idea, then we should persue outsie browser chess program.

A wise man once said chess is too important to be played for money. I think that's true, at amateur level anyway ;)
