   It's possible to cheat at a real game.  But, it is less likely to be    
   caught over the web.

   That's why I only play that for funzies.  Over the web, only    
   chance type gambling games can be close to fair.  Then again, the    
   house can cheat.  But, as the odds are always in their favor on    
   most games, they don't have a good reason to cheat.
