Intrucing money into the game.

[DarkOne]

Comet dodging in league games.

[Dub-c]

Personally I left my work (IT developper) to only play poker.
Its not just gamble!

Poker is around 40% skill, 30% "luck", and for some guy : between 10 and 20% discipline (bankroll management) & mental (tilt handling etc...).

If you have an edge on your opponent (skill, mental, management) you can only win in long term (many hands).
For poker it works, because fishes (noob) play just because they belive on the 30% of luck and are gamblers.

Whatever, if you want this to work for worms, I think the money can come only from players.
There is a bit of luck in worms (where the cr8 fall and other thing I think..)
You already play for virtual medail and to get respect from others.
Im sure you could play for money also.
The problem for worms is that its mostly a skill game. So the begginer won't bet against you all.
You have to find a way...
A system where beginner could play some beginner maybe.

Im sure there is something todo.

Maybe leagues
Maybe big tournaments (I heard about a worms tournament in paris with money)
Maybe heads up (one vs one)
Maybe challenge (Be the first to to something)
...

With my poker player community we do much "Side bet", and Im the first who asked players to play worms against me lol.

[Fabrousse]

I take the first scope I found on sharkscope to explain poker isnt just gambling game.

Personnaly I would maybe play worms again if money is included same for fifa etc...

Im a gambler And Im not alone.

Roper4rollz?

Don't try to explain poker to anyone who doesn't play poker. You can not win.

Glad to hear you are not a tourney player What level are you currently playing and what stakes? bb/100?

[TheWalrus]

You still a shark at roping walrus?

haha like the one time on the wlcl boards when i was talking lots of shit about beating you at roper and you proceeded to beat my monkey ass 3 times in a row?  a shark i am then, indeed.

There is nothing to do, WA community is very small, money will somehow kill the fun of the game, implementing such a thing is a big pain regarding legal stuff.
In europe you will need a license which is expensive, and hard to get. I don't know about other countries, but some may just not allow gambling.
Also, you will need to manage anti-fraud, anti-cheat, disputes, money chargeback, money transfert, devises convert, etc. It needs staff, skills, development.
This game is not ready (and probably will never be) to manage money stuff. In some schemes like TTRR, the game does not and cannot know who is the real winner of the game.

So, you could try to implement such a thing but it would be a very long job, and it would fail for sure with no result !

Good luck
