As long as there's a risk involved and it is some kind of prediction, win or lose type of games, then I would always consider it as a form of gambling.
Sometimes even if it's not directly money as long as it have a value and it is being risk then yes it is gambling.
Exactly mate and I couldn't agree any less with you but I think the very type of game the op was talking about wasn't having any risk especially with regards to the player and I don't think the player has any form of loss, I mean the player doesn't have anything entirely to lose and I think the superpicks is actually trying to achieve a firm of marketing.
I've always known gambling as a very risky business that has to do with losing of money and if one isn't scared if losing anything then it isn't gambling from my perspective.
