   How would you catch them over the internet as long as they don't use the www?    
   The www would be a mistake if cheaters used that since it isn't really an   
   internet thing despite the fact it relies on the internet.   
      
    DC> That's why I only play that for funzies.   
      
   A good idea except if everyone is cheating and it isn't possible for you to   
   win then where is the fun in it?   
      
    DC> Over the web, only    
    DC> chance type gambling games can be close to fair.   
      
   Nothing is 'fair' there.  Everything is stacked against you ... unless of   
   course you cheat.

   Yes but they cannot prevent anyone else from cheating given they have no   
   control over what happens elsewhere on the internet.  Things like PayPal are   
   excellent proof that you cannot win for trying as it is stacked against users   
   in favour of sellers who can easily rip you off with absolutely no recourse.    
   Check it out and you will see for yourself.   
      
   Life is good,
