Why cheat?

The game is going good. Each player takes turn and wait patiently for their turn to come around again- until one opponent throws the cards on the table with a wide grin from ear to ear and shouts "yes! and the table burst out with oohhs and ahhs!

The game ended and one winner emerged. For sure, some might be saying under their breath that they should have won and starts preparing for the next round to knock the rest of the guys out with a win. There might even be some thinking that the person who won may have pulled a few tricks from the hat and won. All be it what it may; everyone is thinking about how the game was, how it could have been and what may have happened.

Cheating can only occcur when there are more than one player in the game. Why cheat when you can play fair? Is it more exciting and fun when cheating is involved? In my mind I believe that cheating takes additional brain power and puts the physical and mental wellbeing in disrepute. How so? Well for one you have to be farsical which means untruthful or ingenuine so the gamers are not made aware that ingenuity is present. Now this is using brain power to essentially fool the unsuspecting gamer. No one wants to get caught; which means those who chooses not to play fair will have to come with their best cheating game plan.

When I was a kid playing Ludo or card games with my friends or siblings, if I decided I was going to pull a quick one my mind started to go into overdrive trying to figure out how I was going to do my thing without anyone noticing...
Yep, I did that! I think its the same thing across the board with  cheaters, get in and out quickly and don't get caught. I will say this though, If you decide to play unfair think and prepare yourself for the possible consequences. To cheat or not to cheat, think about it - Cheers!
