I've heard "gambling ON a game of chance." But where have you heard "gambling = game of chance?" That makes no sense to me. What if two kids gamble on who will have a higher SAT score? Or if two MLB players bet on who will have the higher batting average at the end of the season? Or two golfers betting on who will have the lowest round of the day?

If you can affect the outcome of the event in question, I don't see how anyone could say it's chance, and not skill.
