Gambling or gaming - whatever you call it

I used to hear some seniors and elders say that playing stocks and shares help them keep alert and sharp since they tend to put their "thinking" skills to work and does not allow brain cells to deteriorate so fast. I even heard some of the elders playing mahjong and poker to keep alert. Well, I only play a mild poker game during Chinese New Year. That's the only time the family gather round the table for a small game of poker and card games. Money is involved (though a small bet of just a dollar). Is that gambling or gaming? Instead of excessive gambling, the mathematics and tactics involved in playing online poker are not that useless after all. There is currently a range of online activities and facilities that even includes an interactive games section. With these online facilities and one manageable integrated account, it provides customers with a secure online environment for their online betting needs.
