No, I do not let them win.
I don't humiliate them either, but life doesn't just give you wins.

Just beat my seven year old and his momma (no pics) at monopoly and they still aren't over it.

Many years ago my cousin got mad at me at Christmas when I beat her at the time 5 or 6 year old son at checkers. I didn't crush him like I could have. I just kept the game close, and when it got to the end I actually let him move my pieces to beat himself. But of course she made me out to be the bad guy.
I just think that just giving things away with no effort is a bad lesson to teach kids that everything is easy, regardless of age. You shouldn't demoralize the kid, but making them work a little isn't a bad thing, I think.

My dad never let me win.
But the day I finally beat the old man at Bball in the driveway was the greatest. It wouldn't have meant jack shite if he had let me win all those years.

Didn't be my dad in basketball until I was 15. Each year leading up to 15 I was getting that much better. He was playing dirtier and dirtier as I got older. Mother fricker was out there like Bill Laimbeer beating the shite out me when I drove to the basketball talking about "this is a man's sport go inside with ya momma if you ain't man enough to battle on the court!" I didn't become Jordan but it did feel good to work at something with a competitive desire and finally accomplish it. That would have never happen if he just let me win.

I draw the line at using PEDs to gain an unfair advantage over my kids.

Yes. This. When he does beat me. I know he will. It will be that much sweeter.

I always have the feeling of Ric Flair. To be the man you've got to beat the man.

Yes. But my children are 5 and 1 so it would be pretty silly if I didn't. I think you gradually phase out letting them win, but if you are actually going to "compete" in a physical or mental game with a small child you are going to handicap yourself to the point that if they are ever going to win the game then you have obviously let them do it for all intents and purposes.
With my five year old I don't let him win every time, but I try to keep it relatively competitive so that he is challenged but still has fun. He's not dumb - he knows I'm not going all out.

I love playing Wii bowling with my 2 and 4 yr olds. Of course I have to help them. My 2 year old beat me the other day.
By that I guess I really beat myself.
