Skill

Skill: The ability of a player to affect the outcome of a game by utilizing a talent either as the result of personal qualities or training or study. Where skill may be a major factor in determining the outcome of the game, the game is called a skill game. For game players, most athletic contests are considered skill games—that is, a skilled football team will defeat a less-skilled team a large proportion of the time if they meet in games repeatedly. Games such as dart games are skill games. In casinos, card counters have the ability to use skills at blackjack games.
