And lets have a spinner named Razor and put him on top of the black list. And people had to give up pens or other stuff. This is not need for speed. THIS IS PENSPINNING >:D.
But yeah, I'm not really big on gambling. It's bad... -

So is underage online poker, but it doesn't stop hundred of thousands of people from doing it....
I would do this...but the thing is...people are only going to gamble crappy pens...I don't think it would even be worth all the mailing -

Would work at a gathering but not online. You'd have to first send your betted pens to a bookie. Then after the battle the bookie sends out the pens... basically the shipping would be a bitch. I mean, he/she can just lose the bet and never send the damn pens.

stake pens before a battle,
if person doesn't send the pen's. give him a bad mark in FEEDBACK -

I bet no one would keep their word.
People will bet crappy pens.
People will probably battle FOR PENS.
The bookie will probably keep the pens to theirselves xD
If people DO stake high-value pens, I bet they won't battle anyone of equal or higher skill lol
only works in person imo -

I think I'd do it =)
It could be done if both parts really would say what pens they bet, before the battle and if the battles would be interesting... Not smth like noobnr374585 against Eriror.
The problem really would be shipping and the missing gurantee, that the opposite part really send. =/
Keep Spinning -

Why wouldn't you bet on a battle like that? Just bet that eriror would win.

Well... It could work.
#1) If someone doesnt send the pens, they get negative feedback... It works for trades...
#2) Before hand, when you issue a challenge, both people must agree on what pens are put up... like accepting a battle, both people must agree.
#3) Uh... Well maybe not everyone... but it'll just motivate people to try harder.
#4) Read #1
#5) Isnt that how normal battles go. Even so, you dont HAVE to bet pens on a battle. It's just an option. -

I really doubt this would work.
Like others have pointed out:
1) People are going to bet their worst, most unspinnable pens.
2) If they lose, people probably aren't going to bother sending their stuff. -

Read my last post. If they dont send, no one will trust them and wont battle for pens anymore.

Still, it kinda is like gambling which can be an addiction
