Bang Neki
   

Korean BangNeki matches are (to my knowledge) the only types of Go games where the actual count makes a difference (as opposed to just win/lose, the actual points matter).

In a bangneki, money is bet on the outcome of the game, firstly a certain amount for the winner, then a certain amount for each 10 points difference (Termed a 'Bang'). This amount can increase, so that for instance the 10th bang ('Manbang' by memory - winning by more than 100 points) is worth more than just 10 individual bangs.

Strategy can play a large role in a Bangneki, as illustrated very well in the novel 'First Kyu'.
