i posted this as my blog http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=90957 but in order to get more votes/opinions i though it would be better to post it in the forum,

My question is simply: would there be any interest from bw players if someone were to make a cashgame thread or site? i always wondered why koreans were able to have a dotori game channel(for example players would spam for a 1v1 game for money or there would be a teambattle match, like a 3v3 match between two teams etc.) on west while we never saw anything of the sort in the foreign community

My initial idea was something like this, make a thread somewhere(obviously it would preferabe to have it on a place like tl where everything can be moderated very strickly but i would never involve them without getting their approval - anyways this would be the second phase of the planning.. for now all i want to see is if theres any interest)with a few players as the supervisors,

We would start off with allowing only the more trustworthy players of the community to setup their games, every game which would be setup via posts on the thread would be updated on the OP post and next to the match we would have something like CLEARED PAYMENT for example, from there we would establish a trust list and would allow for a more public game spamming system, for example someone would post on the thread 1v1 BO5 30$ series(now here you can obviously play with odds, if its a higher skilled player who is making this post he can say for example i will give you odds on your money if you are a lower skilled player etc. in order to attract a larger range of players), now if someone who wouldnt be on the trust list who however is still fairly known to community and would want to participate in this match then that person then you would setup like a payment after every game played system, for example after his first loss he would have to pay his opponent 10$ right away and vice versa or if the poster is really picky he could say you have to give me 50% payment before the game even starts and then at the end of the match if you win the down payment will be paid back to you with the money youve won and if youve loss then you have to pay the remaining 50% of the money, if the payment is met after the game then that person would start to accumulate history and would be more of a trustworthy opponent to play against(basicly its like the same system as like ebay - approval ratings, but we would setup the lists ourselves), if the person doesnt pay after his first loss or whatever then after the game on the match report you would post the complaint and that person would be completly banned from any future matchs, payment could be from pokerstars, paypal etc..obviously this would be left at the players discretion

edit: games could range from anything, 2v2 games, teambattle games, 1v1 games and even ums games, the money belongs to the players and they have the liberty to make any of their own decisions

P.S: if something like this were to happen im not saying that people would have to forcefully put their trust in me with the organisation process, the players could setup their own system with their own organisors to setup the thread and their own payment system (you could have a trustworthy person holding the money for both players also), im making this post as a neutral party, this game has been around for 11 years and i havnt seen any talk about this topic so i decided to see what the opinions would be

feedback/opinions would be great

It would be interesting to watch and follow results; however, I (and I believe many other people would hold this sentiment) do not feel like I am even close to being capable of putting money on the line when I play Broodwar. Sure the drama would be interesting to follow, but the inherent problem would be finding people to play for money. I know some would, but maybe not too many.

i understand but its not like someone is holding a gun to your head and is going to force you to play, the players who wouldnt be interested would just continue playing as they did and could even enjoy some of the reps from the matchs which would be setup (if the players playing decide to release the reps)

I'm just afraid that too few players would play it and the games would eventually become boring. However, I definitely agree it's worth a shot.

yea but it wouldnt be as interesting as players who still know how to play the game lol, btw the main reason i began thinking about this more seriously was because imo the only thing that sucks about bw is that you have to maintain your shape by playing so much in order to play the odd 1 or 2 tourneys every 4-5 months, games like this would help motivate players even more
