Message: [QUOTE="mushthebush, post: 6422771, member: 458961"] Chess has nothing to do with gambling, predicting or anything of sorts. It is a game of analysis and strategy. Pool or snooker is similar in terms of strategy, planning moves ahead and putting your opponent in difficulty, but it also involves some coordination of your body, like many other sports. Only mentioned it cause it is also a board/table game. I see poker more like day trading. It is more like investment opportunities rather than gambling. As in, you have information and you are constantly given information which you can use. Wether you interpret it correctly or not, that's your job. But, at the same time, day trading is considered gambling, while I see both as "prediction based on information" kind of act. Gambling would be simply tossing cards without a clue and hoping for the best. [/QUOTE]
