My ABSOLUTE ( and I doubt I'm alone, here ) favorite strip EVER!
NO CONTEST!!!
I have a feeling everyone on here would like to get a piece of the action if Boogeyman and Chen did end up playing.
Why don't we put a dollar amount on who we'd like to bet on and how much, I'm sure both sides LOVE the bet so i'm sure they'd be able to match the dollar amount of the more heavily backed player.
I created this spreadsheet to track the bets. Go ahead and add yours, let's see how it goes!

EDIT - This isn't a binding agreement to bet, just a way to see who people want to bet on, and gives the opportunity for the underdog to match the railbird action!
P.S. getting hypothetical bets on the board is based on Bogeyman being a true mid 600's player. If there are shenanigans going on then it's obviously...well...just shenanigans!
I don't care if he is a blowhard or perhaps the best player ever. I'm just surprised at how many people seem to be taking this personally and lashing out at a stranger on the internet. I'm not saying I've never done that, but I usually do it when I have skin in the game personally -not defending someone halfway around the planet.
Agreed, just trying to pump the action
I could care less what your chances are , here its pretty simple pm me who you are and what you want to bet I will let them know and get back to you ,, or better yet go to roys basement fb page and set it up yourself ,, we would all love you to just step up to the plate , no one really cares about your reasoning why you can win,,I agree too. It gets discouraging sometimes to read people’s posts, “You got no chance.” or “You’re stupid.”
They have zero interest on 1or 2 unless its on a bathroom break or something like that start at 5 and you might catch their attention for a second .Naw...now the thread has gotten silly, with the spreadsheet and not real bets and whatnot.
Once the game is made, the action room section will the spot for you to bet what you want.
I doubt it is gonna go off. Not unless boogie bets a couple more K than 1 or 2.
Agree on specifics and get to the post.
He's not playing her. It's free to talk so he's gonna talk.

Im having trouble believing anyone would humor the notion that this match was ever going to happen in the first place.
Lets put some prospective on this for a moment, shall we?
Here is a thread from a few years ago, where another anonymous guy was talking about beating Jennifer Barretta, who by any account is no where near the skill level of Siming Chen.

Boogeyman seems to disagree with this as a viable challenge with his posts here.

So, the guy who thought when someone was talking about playing a female pro who plays at a 650ish Fargo stood no chance, now posts about himself being able to beat a 790 player, who is the #1 ranked woman, and IIRC #22 on the world stage.
I do believe Cleary said it best in the thread referenced above.
Chuck, don’t know who that guy was, but what struck me was how that person sounded as if he were slighting JB. I kind of wanted to defend her and asked if he would play.
I'll take that bet.
I'm a mid-600 player, and I'll play Siming for the cash, straight-up
Make it a race to 50 and she doesn't have to like it.
Why?
Because endurance is gonna be a factor, and pool is not all about making balls.
I feel I'm in better shape than she is, I'll out-think her, I feel my competitive drive is stronger than hers, and I'm an unknown.
Plus, I speak some Chinese, so a little barking is a-gonna happen.
No disrespect to Xiao3chen2 (anyone who has studied Chinese will understand why I called her that--it's not disrespectful), but I've never lost to a girl in my life.
Anyone want to bet?
I live in Tucson, AZ.
