Re: Does professional poker contribute to society?
[ QUOTE ]
Not a zero sum game.
Provides entertainment for many.
An opportunity to make money for others.
Why is there a distinction between poker players and athletes, actors/artists?
[/ QUOTE ]
The distinction is that entertainment for the players would still be in poker without the pros, probably even more of it. OTOH, without athletes there is no sports for others to watch, without actors there are no movies for others to watch, etc.
