When I was a little boy my mum would regularly take me to crib drives at the croquet club.
On the wall was a plaque which had this written on it. "TEACH ME TO WIN IF I MAY,IF I MAY NOT WIN,THEN ABOVE ALL,TEACH ME TO BE A GOOD LOSER"
I have remembered this saying for over 50 years,so the next time you are winning or losing I hope you can remember & revert back to this saying as it will make you a better player & you will be well liked by others.
THANK YOU SHAWWIN !!!!

This has to be one of the best pieces of advice I've ever seen. Right up there next to the one my mom often told me - There is NEVER an excuse for being rude!! Love them both!

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.
