Benefits of technology

[0014]In one embodiment, the step of establishing a common amount to gamble includes providing each player a choice of the amount to gamble, and matching two or more players by their respective chosen amounts to gamble. The steps of offering a choice and matching may include displaying to a player one or more other players willing to play the tournament and those player's respective chosen amounts to gamble; and allowing the player to complete the step of matching by making a selection from the other players displayed.
