Jamie Gold had one seat in the WSOP.
I get that you're upset about bad beats, but demanding proof that poker is a game of skill does - and I mean no offense - tell me that you have quite a bit of learning left to do. Understanding this game means understanding exactly what it is that skill will affect, and logic will carry the rest of the argument from there. Ironically, sports betting is not that different from poker, so in that regard we're in agreement. They're both about knowing which end of the shotgun you're looking at - and I don't remember whose quote I'm stealing. Recognize the situation where you're getting favorable odds, and take them. When the bookie is trying to screw you over by offering you lousy odds, don't wager your money.
Sorry to hear about your unlucky recent history. Hope things shape for you.
