Message: [QUOTE="RamdeeBen, post: 1634022, member: 71146"] I can't belive how many people think poker ISNT gambling and say its just skill, you really are a bit daft or completely clueless on how odds/betting works. Every hand in poker is about odds and wagering, anyone in the world with a braincell should understand you're betting on an outcome regardless of how much knowledge you have in a game. It is a skill game, yes. However as I've said it IS gambling and if you can't understand the basics of what a gamble is then you're probarly doing everything else wrong in poker! As I've said before. The most skilled player in the world who, lets say won every hand(Indeed not possible but making a point) he played is still [B]gambling[/B] on each hand he plays. Odds/outcome/wager = gamble. Simple as that even if you're phil ivey. So logically and very basic I don't understand how some of you can't seem to let it sink in.. [/QUOTE]
