Since everyone seems to be in a gambling spirit recently, I thought I'd put a spin on things.

What if a bunch of people organized a private table in many of the online poker games available. Each participant pays a buy in of geos to someone's bank account. Then everyone who is playing plays tournament style where everyone at the table plays until someone wins all the chips in the end. That person is then sent the geos by the money holder.

What do you think? Anyone up for some Texas Hold 'Em?

I dont know what others think..But i reckon it's going a "bit" overboard. Using another game to get geos in this??? :hand

We are considering writing/stealing a few flash games as an option instead of jeweling, I guess we might be able to get a poker one for you if you'd like - though I'm not sure if we really want to condone gambling to a game that is played by underaged people, some parents may not like it.

Better not play the lottery, or invest in the stockmarket then.

As Ambrose Bierce once said: "The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling."

Anyways, if we're betting for geos, then it's not really gambling, and atleast it would teach kids the risks of gambling before they try it with REAL money. I figure if the play-money poker sites are open to people of all ages, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Count me in for Hold'em for GEOS too. I think that would be a really fun and different way to earn some dough. I like araT's idea about the flash games too.

I love the idea of this and other ways of making geos, like a lottery.
I'm right behind the idea and would love to see more ways we can make geos.

i like the idea of a flash game but only if it is interesting (like chess/checkers, VERY boring, even more fun to go and search for jewels)

Yeah! good idea.. i support it 100% some poker fun with geos, but not too much i know as a beginner i cant afford many geos but uno.. in a game of 3 or so players.. everyone puts in 100 geos?.. may not seem much to them big geo spenders.. but different categories would b necessary ofcoarse. neways just a bit of fun, hope to see it eventuate :cheesy

Chuck Norris understands the concept of "too much information"

Chuck Norris knows proper forum etiquitte and would not post something like this lest he get himself banned

Chess? Oh pretty pretty please with cherries on top, please have chess :)

I'd wager all my geos on a chess game...hehe... :evil

Unfortunately, whats to stop bad players from downloadinga chess program? Chess games must be timed (approx 5 minutes or less) to discourage chess programs...
