Alot of poker players no adays also gamble on sports and prop bets... Now are these pro poker players degenerates that are just good at poker or would you class them differently from your average addicted joe blogs?

personally i think the main thing that distinguishes them is that a top class poker player will enter most situations with plus EV compared to your average gambler who will not take this into account.
I myself try to do this but somtimes emotions cloud my judgement as it does with everyone

agreed.
being able to set a limit for losses and then stick to it no matter what.
then again, the very fact you even set a limit means you know you cant control it....so i guess its easy to argue both sides.
about me specifically, i dont gamble in any other way than in poker. no blackjack, no routlette, no craps, no sports bets, no stupid prop bets, etc.
i think that qualifies me as free from addiction....yay? or nay?
