Playing games for money

Everyone likes games right? Well there are ways for you to play games for cash! However, its hard to come across legit offers. If you want to play games for more than a few cents, you will have to start training.

Playing games for money may sound like a fun idea, but its hard. To actually get all the good cash and prizes you will need to compete in tournaments and the like. I'm not saying you can't do it, im saying it will be hard. Personally, when Halo first came out I actually won a tournament in Pennsylvania with one of my friends. We got $3000 in cash and a 40" plasma TV.

You can find tournaments online for a lot of games. Some will give cash and prizes to the winner(s). A few games that have been played for serious cash: Halo, Counterstrike, Everquest, and World of Warcraft.

The first two are first person shooter games. Meaning your playing in first person (through the eyes of the character) and its a shooting game (you blow shit up).
These are easy to see how you make money in: 1) become good 2) go to tournaments 3) win.

However, some people wonder how you make money playing a third person role playing game. Maybe you know a friend who plays one of these games and you have heard them say "i would seriously give $20 for this item" or "i would pay $50 for 1000 gold". I do not condone these ways of making money as it cheats legit players out of certian things, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

When I used to be addicted to World of Warcraft and dropped out of high school, lost my job, my fiancee, and all the spare time i ever had, I used to sell gold and items I had / found on ebay or to other players I knew. It wasn't a huge income, but with no bills and not paying $4/gallon for gas, it was decent. $500 - $2000 a month goes a long way when your only paying $15 a month for the game.

There are legit ways out there to make money playing games, but if you want to make serious money you have to practice. Serious players spend at least 5 - 18 hours every day playing the same game. However, anyone can do it.

I give this oppurtunity a 2 out of 5. This is harder than all the other legit ways to make money, but you can meet some great people and have a lot of fun! I don't have any links for you to go to for these oppurtunities as I do not do them right now, but if I found any I will update this.
