My Q is... should you always bear at least one blot off prior to resigning a game or does it make a difference...what if your opponent has a gammon opt..? Thank You

Resignin and the opponent has the option of accepting or not. He will judge whether there is a gammon or not and refuse if he thinks he has a gammon. You can resign anytime and the opponents then uses their judgement. It makes no difference.

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.
