Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money?

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?

While technically it could be called gambling, it's definitely not in the same league as risking real money on a bet. With virtual currency, that has no exchangeable value, you can never judge the quality of your opponent and their betting patterns almost become meaningless - so it's hard to improve or derive practical knowledge if your intention was to convert to paid betting later. As the person placing the bet, you will be more likely to take time and think through your betting strategy when real money is at risk.

Gambling that does not involve money is just like we are trading on a demo account. Those that know what they are doing will understand that it is totally unnecessary to gamble with money. Money is the backbone on all gambling activities because the money involved will make everyone to come for the money and earn some good profits. When money is not involved or financial materials and object, people are not going to take that seriously because they have nothing to lose at the end of everything. Whether we gamble rarely or often, money is what makes us want to gamble more as a gambler.

You're right about that, when we do a lot of things like betting without betting money, there's no way that things like emotions can be done on the skin, we've always been used to being in the game with real money, otherwise we thought it would be the right thing to do. most boring of all, but if we are putting money there it will be the most exciting thing in the world, even if it is for 1 dollar, there is no doubt about that, however, as I said before, things when betting in demo mode at least for me I see it as an educational way , to get to know the game and to see how the game is associated with our tastes, because it is the safest way for us to have access to good things like knowledge, as well as knowing all the tools of a game , we can avoid many mistakes. .

When on a platform they give the Option to play in demo mode, it's for a reason, it's not because in the casino they wanted to waste time or programming there ,in a casino there's Nothing left over or anything to be, everything has its meaning, it could be that if not they have Learned that some Players need to have demo mode to learn and not make mistakes, maybe they have Previously Conceived some complaints about having demo mode to not make more mistakes.

When we play without money, the game can be a bit boring to play in real mode, but when we have the game in real mode it's like everything changes, it's like that magic of winning and not losing, together The way players go maturing , we know how to do and what to do with those Options to take Advantage of them.

When it comes to games, things are always very exciting when there is money, but I don't know if they have applied it, for example when I trade , I prefer to do it in demo mode , if I lose in demo mode, I do it in real mode , if I lose then I Assume, but previously I already did a test, that serves as an experiment, if I win in demo mode I do it in real mode because I already have a little more Security that the market can go in that direction, then in demo mode we can do something similar , I'm not saying it works but it can be a good Technique to save money.
