I'm interested in chess by Q4 2017. What will it be? If it's clear with sports betting and poker, it's connected with money. But what is the interest in chess, this is not a game of chance.
It's not a game of chance from the point of playing, even if I do say so myself, as not a professional player by any means, but a huge fan nonetheless. But when it comes to betting, there are just as many variables as in any kind of sport, including health and mental condition of the sportsmen, how well he/she deals with the noise, is he/she in form right now, has he/she played already today and countless other factors, which often cannot be taken into consideration, but will affect the outcome, thus, when it comes to betting, chess may be as exciting to watch and bet on as any other sport, especially when you see those silly 2-move piece losses or even checkmates that grossmeisters yawn because of fatigue.
