For more than a week I have been playing Axie Infinity, a super entertaining NFT game and “Play to Earn”. Which means that the winnings made in the game are real winnings in cryptocurrencies.
I'm not going to go into too much detail explaining everything about Axie Infinity as there must be a lot of posts dedicated to that and also the game is so famous that practically everyone has heard about it at some point.
I firmly believe that these types of earning games will have a huge explosion in the coming years and traditional games will have to think about how they are going to deal with this great competition.
Why have fun paying if I can have fun winning?
Investment
The thing with these games is that they are clearly not free, nobody gives away anything in this world without hidden intentions and it should be that way. If you make money in the game, it is clear that to keep that economy running you must put some of your money initially in addition to your playing time.
In order to start playing you need at least 3 Axies, the characters of the game and with whom you face the opponents. Said Axies cost real money as they are sold by other players in a supply and demand market. They vary in price depending on their characteristics and possibilities in battle. And also they are not cheap, a basic team does not cost less than 500 US dollars approximately (paid in ETH).
Fortunately, the mechanics of the game allow, to put it simply, a person to rent their equipment to you if you don't have the money to buy your own. The "Scholarship", which is how this modality is called, is that you play with the account and team of another person, but you only earn a percentage of the profits you generate (by mutual agreement).
It is profit for both. The Manager is generating returns for his investment without spending time and effort playing the game himself. On the other hand, the grantee generates lower earnings, but without having to put his own money.
My adventure in Axie Infinity
I had been learning about the game and trying to get started for over a month now and had some money that I was hoping to withdraw from an investment. But it has not been possible for me to withdraw that money that I was planning to use to buy my own team. So in the meantime, I got an acquaintance's manager to assign me a scholarship.
The scholarship is not that good to tell the truth. The team is not bad and it plays well, but my earnings are only 25%, which is very low. But all those who give scholarships in my country give them to that percentage, there is no other way. So until I get my own team, or another scholarship with a better percentage, I'll play around with this one.
See my results after 10 days of play
Yesterday I had my best day without a doubt. 17 victories of the 20 energies and I raised a lot in the ranking. Every day will not be a party of course, but for now I'm happy, hehe.
I sincerely advise those who aren't playing to enter this world. This is the immediate future and it will have great prospects.
If any Manager who assigns scholarships reads this publication and is interested in offering me something better, I am open to proposals too, hehehe

Thank you all…
I'm not into any crypto gaming. I lost some asset many years ago. To be honest this game doesn't seem much but I think in a long term it will pay off. What do you think? How much time you are paying here is worthy?
