Re: Vote on whether poker is skill or chance
This is a PERFECT quote!
"It certainly has elements of skill," said Keith Whyte, executive director of The National Council on Problem Gambling, "but the predominant element has to be chance. Otherwise, it wouldn't be gambling." While I disagree with the "it wouldn't be gambling with skill involved" idea, the quote as is should work perfectly. The proper response- "well, DUHHH, it's not gambling!"

Re: Vote on whether poker is skill or chance
Takin a shot in the dark here, but you must be saying poker isn't gambling [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
All we have to do is prove that skill is the predominant element (which it is).

Re: Vote on whether poker is skill or chance
We should do the vote again, except only allow winning players to vote!! Of course the losing players think they're losing because of chance, and not for their lack of skill....
It's like whining about "bad beats" but on a grand scale. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] No wonder half the votes are "mostly chance."

This poll is not complete. My answer to the question is, in the short term it is mostly skill with a little chance. In the long-term it is all skill. The problem with the poll too is that most of the people voting have never played and dont really know what its like. They are just going by their biased opinion. [/ QUOTE ] agreed
