Since online gaming has become sort of a ‘professional’ thing, I’ve always wondered how much gambling goes on with it? Seriously people bet on football, and baseball and every other sport so why not console or PC gaming? Personally I don’t gamble, I’ve got a casino about 15 minutes drive from me and it’s been there for years and I’ve never set foot in it. When I was younger I did some gambling with the poker machines and that kind of thing and I was in Las Vegas once but I never really got into the whole betting thing myself. So is there some sort of betting parlor you could go to now for online gaming? Does it happen? I’m sure it happens as people bet on everything right? I guess it’s just not something you hear about as it’s not as prevalent as other types of betting like on sports and horses etc. I guess like anything we’ll have to wait and see just what comes of it, but console gaming is big obviously and in other countries online PC gaming is much bigger than anywhere else. Look at places like Korea where StarCraft if just huge with prizes of over $10,000 or more. With that much money at stake and the popularity of it, you know people have to be betting on the matches right?! You never really hear anything about betting on online games, why is that?
If you love online gaming then I am sure you will have heard about some of the many live events and competitions that take place all over the world everyday. Some of them are even televised reaching audience statistics within the millions however, some people are not aware that you can qualify for these live events from your very own living room.

Console gaming is still the leading platform, the ease of use and popularity have seen it replace the computer within a few short years.
