MoneyGaming.com is an interesting new concept.
It offers the option to bet up to $5000 on games of skill. All of it's games are non-luck-dependant. Examples are Chess, Reversi, Subhunt, Pool (flash game) and others. I've read that since it's not considered "gambling" its totally legaly and so on. I dont know if children can play, but i guess there would be no problem since no element of chance exists. My questions are: How do you supose they make money (i didn't read anything about a rake on their FAQ)? Is it possible to beat these games for a good ammount? Is it possible to make a living playing one of these games offered (of course by specializing in one or two of them)? Isn't there gonna be a BOT problem with games like chess, in wich a computer can already play better than the world champion? Btw, I read about this site on BusinessWeek. Oh, another advantage I noticed right away was that they worked with both Neteller and PayPay. So I think it's possible to deposit by neteller and cashout to paypal. |

Well, according to this article playing Mahjong for money is possibly going to outstrip Poker for playing games of skill for money on the internet:

Be careful with these games.
A computer can play them very well. I do believe that if you play chess for money on the net (if it got popular), you will play against computers in Grandmaster strength. I do believe that bots in poker aren't of equally skill yet. |

You people vastly underestimate how skilled some people are at these games, and the likely skill level of people attracted to this.

i don't see how in anyway these skill-oriented games could out do poker without the luck element.
bad players live for the rushes and good run of cards... |

Yeah exactly, and if anyone is going to be on there willing to put their money on the line... I doubt they are going to be a cake walk. The bad players would know better and just not participate, whereas with poker when they hit their 2-3 outters they really feel like champs that can win and keep coming back for more.

I have a feeling a fairly simple online pool bot could slaughter the best players playing fairly
Oh, and there is luck in a few of those games |
