Sure, Bilbo cheated (however unintentionally at first), but Smeagol was planning to cheat too, by killing and eating Bilbo regardless of who won. And the Ring was never really his to begin with, or does the fact that he murdered his supposed best friend Deagol to get it not even five minutes after he became aware of its existence not matter? I like Smeagol too, and I do see him as an incredibly tragic figure, but despite the Ring's influence he cannot be held blameless for the overwhelming majority of his actions. Also, I can't see how it's fair to blame Bilbo for the fact that the Ring chose to abandon Gollum at that time. Remember, it had a will of its own. It may not have expected to be picked up by a hobbit, but it definitely had no intention of staying with Gollum any longer. The issue of Bilbo cheating in the riddle game is ultimately irrelevant in the face of that fact.
