I always mess up when I'm about to win?

I just always play worse. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to not mess up when I'm about to win a game?

Update:

Well I'm talking about any game really, but to choose one example which I'm sure you guys can relate to... poker

I always start getting really nervous when I have a good hand. Also, when I'm in the lead, have more chips than everybody, I can never keep control and finish them off.

    Don't get so into the game - play with your head, not your heart. If you feel like you are going to win but the odds are against it, you'll probably lose.
