WSOP
Salaams, everyone
I've been watching the World Series of Poker on ESPN (how it's considered an ESPN sport, I'll never know) and I got to thinking.....
The main event is a no limit texas hold 'em event and the price of entry is $10,000. Now, you don't actually gamble with money after that - the $10,000 is just the entry fee. Even if you lose terribly, you don't lose any additional money. You can't lose more than the $10,000 fee you spent to get in the door.
So is this still considered gambling? I thought it might be more of an entry fee to a tournament that awards the best skilled player and not so much an actual gambling event.
What are your thoughts?
