Earn Money Is poker considered gambling?

[Alexandoy]

A few years back, an online friend sent me an invitation to play online poker in one website. I will be given free initial capital that I can use for betting. But I am not inclined to indulge in gambling so I declined.

The friend said that poker is not gambling because you are using your skills to win. And when you win that means you earn money. The more you win, the more money you gain. It is like entering a contest or an athletic game. You can lose or win fair and square. That got me thinking and until now that issue is still on the back of my mind. What is your take on poker, is it gambling or is it a way to earn money if you have the skills?

Gamble is gamble. No matter how people try to twist the topic, it is still gamble. Since you will put your money in the poker website to play the game and you will have to win the game in other to gain more money. And when you lose then your money is gone, then that is surely a gamble. If you have skill of the game, you can try it out. But never put more than you can loose to the game.

I think you comletely right! Online casinos like casinobonustips.com/best-casinos/best-uk-casinos/, sometimes called online virtual casinos or online gambling casinos, are the online version of real online casinos. They allow gamblers to play online casino games via the Internet. It's a very lucrative form of online gambling. There are many online betting websites and online casinos available. The online casinos generally offer a lot of variety and choice to players. This is because online casinos generally operate within the same guidelines as land-based casinos. Some online casinos offer high quality gaming experience for an affordable price. While others provide poor quality gambling experience at unbelievable prices. It is important to read the online casino review carefully before you make any financial decision.

Any event where there is no certainty or surety of making money to invest in it, then it has to be considered as a gamble. In poker it is less of skill but more of luck that matters at the end of the day. Pockers Rummy etc are certainly gambling and I would keep myself away from this without a second thought.

""No,"" any professional poker player will say. In gambling, success depends solely on luck. It is impossible to develop the right and yet fair strategy in heads and tails or roulette (although many have tried). In poker, not only the luckiest but also the most skillful win. Within a single tournament or a single hand, luck is significant. Still, over the distance--that is when repeated many times--whoever is better at poker wins. ""Yes,"" many of those who have never sat down at a poker table will say. There are two main arguments. I sometimes play poker, although I don't have any knowledge of poker, only the experience I gained playing spider solitaire.

Of course, poker is also considered a game of chance. So in the game of poker, a lot is decided by luck. If you are lucky with the cards, you can win good money.

There are some certain arrangements that can happened in the game of poker that can naturally give you an unfair disadvantage or in some instances the person who is going to play first. It is not a lie that there are some people who have been playing it for a very long time and I thought I have experience is that might be needed for them to be able to make some crucial decisions but I do not see it as a reliable way of continuously making money. There are some better ways that you can be able to utilise to make money.
