Message: [QUOTE="PoKeRFoRNiA, post: 2285831, member: 51710"] I love how some people here try to justify that poker is not gambling just because skills are involved. I guess blackjack is not gambling as well since you can count card and if you have huge bankroll of at least $500k, then it's not gambling since you have 4-5% edge over casinos if you count cards and do it efficiently. Blackjack requires skills too, such as when to double down, when to split, when to hit, when to stay, when to adjust bets, etc. So I guess therefore, blackjack isn't gambling at all, right? I guess Craps isn't gambling as well because I read that there's supposedly a way to toss the die in certain way, then you'll get consistent results over the long run. So I guess if you train die-tossing, then it's supposedly a skill and you'll win over players who play recreationally. Sportsbetting must not be gambling also then since you're betting on the odds after doing your research on their backgrounds and predicting who's gonna win based on educated and calculated guess. Since there are people who can make lot of money off sportsbetting because they do their research properly and know the ins and outs of every athlete and teams, I guess sportsbetting is not gambling as well. For those who try to justify poker that it's not gambling or that it's a sport, you're fooling yourself. Get a job. Play some REAL sports. People who think poker is not gambling, remind me of degenerates at casino who are constantly gambling, losing money, but yet, they delude themselves that they're not gambling but they're investing on their skills and that they'll get their money back. Only thing skill does is reduce the risk of losing compared to others but it is STILL gambling. [/QUOTE]
