Paranoid about cheats

How can we know if someone is cheating in either live games or daily games. To be honest it didn't even occur to me that people might be cheating until recently, when 2 players wiped the floor with me only for me to find out they was later banned for cheating. I have been handed ,y points back for one the games and am waiting for the other. Does anybody know if the losses get taken off your win loss record. Why would anybody cheat ? if we was playing for money i could understand but to see a false rating go up you must be brain dead. Trouble is now any time i get well beaten I always get sceptical if they are cheating or not.  I know its not the case and sometimes you just come up against far better players but how do you know who is and who's cheating. Its ruined the whole experience for me
