A well known quote and SO true 
One of America’s foremost inventors and statesmen, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to a friend on this day in 1789 in which he said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Franklin penned “Poor Richard’s Almanac” which contained many bits of wisdom and homespun logic. Franklin was also one of the five member committee who helped draft the Declaration of Independence.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
