Ma's JOKE OF THE DAY!

Homer, a handsome dude who liked to gamble, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. He sat down next to a woman at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 10 0 news was now on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a tall building preparing to jump.
The woman looked at Homer and said, 'Do you think he'll jump?'
Homer said, 'You know, I bet he'll jump.'
The woman replied, 'Well, I bet he won't.'
Homer placed 20 dollars on the bar and said, 'You're on!'
Just as the woman placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. The woman was very upset and handed her 20 dollars to Homer, saying, 'Fair's fair. Here's your money.'
Homer replied, 'I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump.'
The woman replied, 'I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again.'

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.
