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.
Same thought too. I see gambling as a risky exercise though and it requires a commitment which can be in the form of cash or a collateral if anything happens otherwise. If one says he or she gambled then you should ask them what was their commitment to the process but if they did not commit anything for the game then know that it is not a gamble exercise but just a mere game for leisure because they had no commitment to the game and therefore have no fear of loosing anything at that stand.
Sometimes commitment to gambling can not only be money, it might involve other means like car, house, groceries etc to be put inline for the process. I say this because I have witnessed this here in my country on many occasions where a game is about to kick start and you see friends start betting with their wristwatches, cars and some tangible assets for their preferred team.
With all these experience and knowledge about gambling and betting, I concluded that gambling exercise involves something tangible to be used otherwise and if there are no commitment, then the exercise can not be termed a gamble.
From the word gambling literally which does simply implies that you are really that gambling on something for you to earn something with it, which in this case if there are some free bets been offered but you do
still have the chance to win up some prizes then it cant really be called gambling at all since you are really that having not to risk something for you to win something which is understandable.Just be that thankful that there are platforms or companies who do offer that kind of free bet on something getting a chance on earning some free money if you have done it right. In most cases this would be flocked out by lots of people, who doesnt really like on free things? specially if you do know that prize is considerable enough for you to consider out.
I dont know on whats the catch on this one because one thing that would be boggling up your mind is on how they would be making money out of giving out some free money?
This isnt how a business do works on which it is really the opposite. Well, i couldnt raise up more questions and it would be that great if they would be continuing on offering
something like this but of course this would really be just on limited time i do believe.
