Name for us some of the activities of man that do not involve any 'luck'.

Every sport will have some element of luck.  About the only competition I can readily think of that doesn't have any luck involved was settled on the moon, when a hammer and a feather raced and tied.

Sometimes 'luck' is immediate.  i.e. you fill the nut flush over trips.  Sometimes it is delayed, -the board pairs after you fill the nut flush over trips, or that drive off the tee runs into the unseeable gust and lands in the sand.  Or your Quarterback, whose arm hurts is hit  just as he's throwing which  upsets the trajectory in such a way  that his receiver gets to make a heroic fingertip catch.

'Luck', as generally defined is basically unknowable, and unpredictable, and it is via skill that games of any sort exist.

Gambling, which is betting on some outcome, of some event, be it commodity prices (financial markets), sickness (insurance), or games ALL have elements of chance involved.

Gambling on a coin toss is the simplest and, most boring.

The ugliest gamble of all will be done by moralists! They are gambling that (fill in religion) is the true path, and all others are damned to (fill in Hell's equivalents).
