Default Re: [Article] Is Playing Poker ReallyGambling?

Not to burst your bubble, but even getting when you get your money in as a 95% favorite, you are still gambling.

Poker is gambling. It is a form of gambling that gives the opportunity for players with sound knowledge of the game and who make mathematically correct plays the ability to become long-term winners.

If one gambles by playing the lottery or roulette - over the long-term, they will be losers because of the inherent disadvantage in the game.

Poker allows players to gamble their money with a much higher possibiliy of ROI than the lottery or other, house-favored casino games.
