BringIt.com Allows Players to Bet On Console Game Matches

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.

Abuse?

It seems like this could be easily abused. What is to stop an expert player from throwing a bunch of low-stakes matches to lower their ranking to novice, then raking in the winnings in a few higher stakes matches? More importantly, whatever happened to just playing games for the fun of it?
