Isn't that from the movie 'Cool Hand Luke' and Luke was the one saying it? He also said 'Sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand. LOVE that movie!!!

Mr_Ladybug: Yes, you're right.....it IS from the movie 'Cool Hand Luke'. However, the Warden, played by Strother Martin, said it TO Lucas Jackson, played by Paul Newman. And, you're also right that it's a GREAT movie.
Thanks Judy

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.
