Poker is not gambling poker is a skill game
Gambling is wagering on which you have no influence on the result

errrm pretty sure it is gambling

yup, 100% gambling. If i give you 10-1 on a coin flip, you're still gambling

I think you could make a case that a poker tournament isn't gambling. It's a game where everyone pays money to play.

Pay money to be registered for game.

A game takes place. The mechanics of how this works isn't really important.

Money is paid back out depending on what position players in the game finished.

Sort of like how sports tournaments work I guess. Difference being that generally the entry fees will be paid by organisers/sponsers.

Can't see how to argue against cash poker being gambling though. The chips represent actual money.

Poker is definitely gambling, cash or tourney.

You're wagering money on uncertain outcomes.
There's no doubt there are huge skill factors involved and a good player can operate at +ev, but the same is true of expert sports bettors.
I barely know one end of a horse from another (well, I do... smelly end, bitey end) so if I bet on them, I'd lose the majority of the time.
An expert who studies form, trainers, jockeys, etc can make a profit from it.
Poker's the same. The uncertainty created by the cards and the field make it a gamble.

"Luck" and skill aren't mutually exclusive.

Also if you work for certain casino companies that rhyme with dala, and begin with a g.You may have to play as anon due to a policy of not being able to play at any venue within a 30 mile radius.

Because what you do outside of work is their business.....

Yes, what you do outside of work is your business - unless you agree a Contract of Employment that says otherwise. You do not HAVE to play as "anon", unless you choose to break the T & C's of your Employment Contract.

I'm pretty sure that if the employer only paid 80% of your wages, you'd be prety cross.

That's just yes sir bullshit and we all know it!!

Anybody who thinks poker isn't gambling is a nob head.

It is not actually within the contract but a little separate disclaimer form full of loopholes.

For example they list Aspers Northampton as being within 30 miles however officially on any roadmap it is at least 37 miles. Therefore when we sign to say  we will not visit any within 30 miles can we travel there?

Either way pointless post really as i don't play as anon and couldn't care less what they think.

If i bink something decent one time i want my name there!
