Do we let them win?

So I am sitting in the playroom with Cole right at the moment ignoring his now 5 minute long tantrum because......I gave away his bike......wait no that's not it. He is crying (still) because I just beat him at the game Memory. You know the little cards with pictures. I let him win three times and then I won-thinking it was good to teach him about winning and losing. Don't get me wrong it wasn't some planned life lesson or anything like that,we were just playing and I decided to beat him.
So- random question, do you let your kids/or any kid you are playing a game with win each time or beat them occasionally? Just curious.
By the way he is still crying....over a memory game.
