I would say this quote is typically the reverse for poker generally.
Fundamentally there is an element of skill (particularly when professionals play) but at the end of the day it is governed by luck. I could use my “skill” to get my money in every time I was ahead and lose all my money on every occasion; though statistically unlikely it is possible (thus luck).
Don’t get me wrong; i’m not advocating poker should be outlawed. I’m just suprised it would qualify for any exemption when certain types of sports betting can fundamentally be skill based also.
