Gambling with an edge can be done on various types of gambling if you are skilled, but its still gambling.
And even if u use BR management u cant really know that you are a winning player before u have made the gamble to try it out.
So basically every casino is gambling everyday on whether they will make money or not.
Everything you do is gambling. If I take a job tommorow, I am gambling that a better job will not come up. If I walk my dog, then I am taking the gamble that a semi wont plow me into the road. etc. etc.
Poker is gambling, along with everything else that you do.....next the stock market, eating ice cream, porn, and walking my dog will be illegal.
