Message: [QUOTE="martinlgs, post: 5955601, member: 185713"] To say that Poker is not a sport because there are bets, is a false statement, since it is a means of support for those who practice it, it is like saying that soccer is not a sport because soccer players charge large sums or x amounts of money. Poker is marked by competition, by a challenge between two or more people to see who is the best. Obviously, it would enter into the sport of the line as chess, which is a mental sport and of mental knowledge and skills- The fact that it is a betting sport is relative, because there is no sport where betting is more involved around them, soccer has thousands of bookmakers and millions of bettors [/QUOTE]
