Do you consider poker a vice like sports betting?

 

[istbno]

Whether online poker is considered a vice or not depends on various factors, including individual perspectives, the degree of involvement, and the impact it has on a person's life.

 

[mtl mile end]

I think of poker as more of a viSe. Once it grabs you, you will never escape.

 

[MathMDI]

Thank God I never got addicted to Poker to the point where it became a problem, I was always able to play moderately.

 

[Emily Trott]

It isn't a vice according to the dictionary.

 

[Herkstwin]

Depends on who you ask. Some religious leaders would condemn US poker players to hell.
Even if it is a vice - all things in moderation.
For me - I play a live game once a week and online when I get the urge.
Live - I am a long term winner - so maybe not a vice, but a little money-making hobby.
Online - A small time winner - just about enough to afford the electricity to run my laptop.

Everything depends on the person. Someone knows how to stop in time and someone does not know the measures.

Unless you believe in incurable addictions.

Many people in western civilization believe in social security. Whole life.
It's more than addiction. This is horrible mistake

 

[Luvepoker]

I would not call poker a vice.

From what I know, Kamala is the vice?

Do you consider poker a vice like sports betting?

I don't consider betting on sports a vice
For normal and adequate people, betting on sports, like poker, is just good fun. But one should not forget that most people are not normal and not adequate. Lack of patience and discipline in most cases leads to bad results, but this is not a problem in gambling, it is a problem in the player himself.

Vice can mean bad habit - so for some people who lose more than they can afford (in time or money) - I guess it can be called that.

 

[skaterick]

of course,and that's why it's so much fun!

I think anything can be a vice to people with addictive personalities... but generally no poker is not a vice, it's a game👍

 

[COMIRRR]

I think so!

Do you consider poker a vice like sports betting?

I bet quite often on sports. I didn't think I was so vicious. Sadly. In that case, let's at least consider poker a card strategy

 

[German629]

By my opinion, Poker is intellectual card Game, but often unpredictable, because this Game is going with not full information... Something like that!

¿Consideras el poker un vicio como las apuestas deportivas?

Hello friend, greetings, my answer to your question is NO and I think the question you should ask is: can poker become a vice? Then I would say yes. since any activity that you do on a recurring basis could become a vice if there is no control. which could lead you to do uncontrolled things. If you feel like you can't get away from something even for a moment then you should seek help.

 

[TeUnit]

I think it depends on the person, if they allow it to be a problem - then its a problem.

 

[Cooking]

I think it can be a vice, like sports betting or casino, but depends of the person. For example, I never play casino because for me it does not make sense and I have no fun at all playing casino games, but there are persons that had lost everything on these games.

 

[Fumogrosso]

Yes, if you loose money. If you earn money it's called sport

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Yes, it could turn out to be that way anyway

 

[okeedokalee]

Define a vice. Do you have to be religious to understand vices.?
Most things I do could be considerd vices. To me they are fun. It must be a boring life if you don't have many vices...

 

[hilary antonik filho]

It all depends on each person, you just have to have self-control, I know when I have to stop
