    I hope this is not a repost... I searched and found nothing. But my friend from Tennessee just told me about VirginGaming, run by Virgin Mobile. Looks like it is farily new. I know OT is heavily involved in gaming. It looks like they have basically all sports games and some shooters and everything is based on 1v1 unless you do a custom 2v2 or higher. I havn't tried it yet but was just seeing if anyone else has. It is appearantly against the rules in Tennessee to play for money on the site so that is why my friend told me to try it out... This might be interesting and something OT would want to try. Let me know what you guys think and also if anyone has ever tried...
    Didn't want to post any links but you can google VirginGaming!

    Link?

    Corker has no rating from PPA.

    Interesting Steve Cohen with A+ and somewhat surprising Marsha Blackburn B.

    Jim Cooper is way more conservative than he needs to be for Nashville. Probably has his eye on statewide office at some point. Just represent your district one time?

    Even though I only spend about 2 hours a month playign video games now, I've always been brainstorming /pondering sites that would allow gambling on video games and always wondered of the legalities and also how to stop rampant cheating etc...

    I heard of it, think the most you can play for is 1K a game, still a lot tho

    Edit- also remember reading in an article the reason it is legal is cause video games are considered a skill game.

    When my friend contacted support they said Tennesee doesn't allow gambling with games of Luck... And this was the reason they said it was illiegal there... Kind of odd since gaming is pretty much skil...

    But the reason it is illegal in tennessee is because it is called a game of luck.

    I checked the site out yesterday and it pretty much sucks ( right now). Basically only games they have are halo and a bunch of EA sports games with mlb the show. Basically 4man or more tournaments almost like you are registering for an sng. Once it fills, there is a set time and you play. the most expensive tourney I saw was 40 bucks and there was only 1 of those. I guess it's in the early stages, but there were a lot of 5 dollar tournaments which to me is pretty fucking worthless. I understand that a lot of these hardcore gamers are poor as shit, but raise it up!
