BringIt.com Allows Players to Bet On Console Game Matches

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i'm-sure-it-wont-get-abused dept.

eldavojohn writes to tell us of a new service, "BringIt.com," that allows gamers to put their money where their mouth is with respect to their console gaming skill. "BringIt supports the PlayStation 2, the PS3, the Xbox 360 and the Wii. Players challenge each other on the site, but play on their consoles. BringIt holds players' entry fees until the game is finished. After the game is done, it verifies the results and credits the winner, minus the service fee. To attract players of a broad range of skill sets, BringIt has separate tournaments meant for novice players and expert gamers. Levin compared it to the handicap system in golf or the weight-class system in wrestling.

      Now if only we could stop people from modding down posts that mention the word nigger. Then again, if the easily offended think theyre accomplishing anything by doing that maybe we should just let them feel useful. It sure beats what happens when they focus their energies in politics, then we get a bunch of dumbass justifications for censorship.

      Because a simple word will SOOOOOOOOO degrade the quality of your life, right? Because a 5-letter word will stop you from getting up in the morning and working for your paycheck. It'll completely ruin your cup of coffee and turn you into a different person.

      All because someone else finds putting a certain post on a internet forum is funny.

      Jerk.
