Like a bike?

Just wondering whether you all agree that skill games are like riding bikes. Once you learn them you never forget? The reason I ask is that my son asked me for a game of chess yesterday and to be honest I thought I was quite rusty in that I had forgotten a fair bit of the strategy side of the game.
It was quite embarrassing how easy he beat me and to be honest I think he thought I gave him the game!
Do you find if you haven't played a game in a while you loose the ability to play well?

Now I've converted to roulette and, after 5 years I have developed a strategy that wins consistently. :dance:

You really need to e-mail me in order to find out how to do it. Nothing ventured - nothing gained. An e-mail will cost you nothing, but if you don't do it you'll never know will you😡😡!? :confused:

The fact is: if you gamble, per definition you have chosen to take risk, if there is no risk it is not a gamble. And, if there would be a certain win system each time you play, you wouldn’t have a large crowd of sellers: these people would be happily playing away, not caring for sales, nor spending energy in setting up websites to hustle you as a customer.
