GOOD TRADE

For all of us who are married, were married,
wish you were married, or wish you weren't
married, this is something to smile about the
next time you open a bottle of wine:
Sally was driving home from one of her business
trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly
Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.
As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped
the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would
like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman
got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried
in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo
woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking
intently at everything she saw, studying every little
detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat
next to Sally.
'What's in the bag?' asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said,
'It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.'
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment
or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an
elder, she said, 'Good trade.'

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.
