Superpicks.com My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
No, I don't think that it should be called gamble. It is giveaway, predict the future and whoever gets it right is compensated with a price for being smart. Perhaps,this can lure one into gambling because of the free money involved. You can decide to go into gambling because you feel you will have the predictions right. From my understanding gambling needs the gambler to stake some amount of money so that if he fails,he will lose something and if he wins,the he win have a reward. If you don't stake anything and partake in a game that the winner will be rewarded,it is not gambling but encouragement.
