    Actually you make a great point. Which is why there’s professional poker, where gamblers can literally make a living. Understanding the difference between being a professional and being able to consistently make money and where to go to do it, is part of the skill I’m talking about. Thanks!

      Not understanding the difference between the game of skill and the game of chance is exactly the grasp on reality that I expected from you based on this thread.

        No, your not understanding that games of skill or chance are both gambling. Being able to identify the difference makes you a gambler who can live off his gambling or one who will go broke. Same trick in investing.

          That’s definitionally not what the word means. But you probably believe that you can predict the streaks in slot machines so I am pretty sure I’m wasting my time here
