I have been here in this forum for a long time and I have an on and off relationship with gambling and I don't know if it's because I don't search so much or there's really no one that's doing this but is there any website that offers chess matches where the winner will win the pot money that was pooled together by the two players fighting? I assume there's none of that yet but imagine the stuff that could happen when this is real, Carlsen playing for a 2 million dollars pot money against Nakamura, FIDE and WCF would definitely be mad about this if this is real.

I'd delete this thread in the case there's an existing discussion about this.
I'v not come across any casino offering a Chess competition or Chess gambling and personally I just can't imagine what exactly bits going to look like because I'm trying to place my understanding around the fact that I will have to place bets on any of the two players and if he wins I win then how about the player what does he get in return?.

Chess is a game of intellects and not something that's randomly picked and bets been placed on them. Most gamblers would not really buy into gambling on chess because only a few of the understand the game and most chess masters will not want to sit at a casino while people place stakes on them as they play but then if it's possible I think any of the casino can give it a trial to put up such but what's really common with chess Is organizing competitions and then giving the winner a price.
