I'm the guy that most players love to hate - I'm sure your tired of me saying "NO THANK YOU". FACT - I AM GOING FOR NOTHING BUT THE CASH. I PLAYED POOL "ON THE ROAD" (25 YRS) BEFORE STARTING MY OWN ADVERTISING CO. BACK IN '91. That’s when I got into serious Gin. Well, I finally got into a game I can't win - Started last July with what is known as Multiple Myeloma (Bone Marrow Cancer) and am now in full Leukemia. I'm on a day-to-day basis with an outside 2-week window. I am not looking for any sympathy, just my way of explaining - Why I do & did what do. I have enjoyed my time & revenue.
Thank You and good luck to all - Tom

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.
