Gambling is one of the stupidest things people can do :/

Are you including poker in the category of gambling?

No, I actually don't consider poker gambling since you're playing against other players instead of the house. Video poker on the other hand....

And yeah, just realized I used my 7000th post. Sigh.

Not considering poker gambling is a pretty good sign you don't know what gambling is!

Poker is different. Not knowing much about the game, I still think its fair to say poker is 50% skill, 50% luck, wheres most other forms of gambling are 100% luck.

Getting drunk isn't an intelligent thing to do either. People do things to have fun and enjoy themselves! Gambling isn't so bad as long as it's done within a person's budget.

By very definition of the world gamble it certainly is. But I suppose you could call it intelligent gambling, if that's not oxymoronic.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Gambling specifically means betting money on games of chance. "Games of chance" is taken to mean games where the player does not effect the outcome of the game. Otherwise you could call basically anything that includes money gambling because there is always an element of risk in life.

In poker people can and do consistently win to the point they can even live off of the game. That is not gambling by the definition I've presented, which I think most people agree with.

of course poker is gambling
it's also a game of skill.. but the fact that you have to play 50000+ hands to get any real indication of skill level should make it pretty fucking obvious that luck plays a huge factor and that it is gambling. it's just "not" gambling when you practice super strong bankroll management and play millions of hands..

Gambling: to stake or risk money, or anything of value, on the outcome of something involving chance.

Poker be gambling son.

Not "involving chance" a game OF CHANCE.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gamble

That'd be like calling Pawn Shop owners gamblers because they can't be sure they will get a return on their money. It's up to their skill to know what kind of return they should expect overall, whether some returns are bad or not.

Everything involves luck. The only reason something can be considered gambling is if it is ALL luck (ie odds are never in your favour).

Maybe it's just semantics, but I think it's pretty stupid to consider any game involving chance and betting to be luck. Might as well call betting in StarCraft gambling.
