I mean, yes, but poker is without any doubts the poster child of gambling. Poker defines gambling. Gambling is more than poker, but all that poker is as a game is also gambling.<p>But we still have gamblers that can play poker skillfully and do so as a career. They can win over and over.<p>Therefore just because something is gambling does not mean that you cannot be skilled at it and win over and over.<p>Gambling does not preclude getting an edge through skill. The honeymooners at the 5$ tables are like peewee footballers while the whales are like professionals. There are levels of skill in gambling.
