https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89506.0I want to start a Bitcoin Gaming + Betting website where you can bet on your performance against other participants in various games (starting with Battlefield 3, then eventually adding Counter Strike, Starcraft 2, anything).
I have zero experience running a website. I don't have much of an idea on how to write a computer program that would interact with a Bitcoin client, deal with user accounts, or fetch information coming from the game. Lastly and most importantly I have no idea how to make sure the server I have running everything doesn't get hacked with everyone's Bitcoins ending up stolen.
But I have the capital to start a website, run a low ping Battlefield 3 server, and able to pay for free lancers to design a logo, web design, and what not. I have some experience with Flash's Actionscript 2.0. And I have a good idea of a fun betting formula for how funds would be bet/moved between players.
Where and how do I start?!
