I was there when the window was opened, and I remembered what Marshall Carpenter taught me........If someone wants to bet you a pink elephant is gonna come out of that trash can........move away from it or you'll have elephant shit on your shoes.
Day-um. That's a classic line right there. This deal is like some moron blowin' his cash in a casino and on the way out someone tells him "Hey man, don't you know the house has the better of it". This sucker has no one blame but himself. I've never side bet unless i knew one of the players really well. This s^* has been going on since the first ball was struck.

Having watched, for decades, these high rollers in the pool community, I always come back to this question.......
How do these people afford to risk such huge amounts of money?
Most, that I've seen, profess to have no career, no profession, no investments, and all that. Where do they get the cash to bet 5000...10000...20000, etc. etc.?
I've had a fair career over the years and have a couple of pensions and a comfortable 401K, but man oh man, if I lost a thousand dollars betting on some darn fool pool game, I'd be kicking myself for a month.
(and I can just hear my wife....."You lost a thousand dollars betting on a POOL GAME when we could've used that to go on a cruise? I should slap you crosseyed")....etc.etc.etc.
I see these people and from outward appearances they dress and look like they just got out from sleeping in the park. Scruffy clothes, unshaven, loud, noisy, and confrontational....
Where do they get all this money they're waving around in these action rooms.....?

I would be willing to bet that for many of these people, this is their "cruise" or trip to the beach. For others, it is just play time. The guy who missed the shot for 11k owns his own jet...bet he doesn't sweat 11k too much.... My late grandmother was very homely and conservative, yet she used to save up all year for her annual ladies trip to Tunica, MS. She loved the slots and roulette. She would sometimes win thousands, sometimes lose thousands, but she had fun and made memories EVERY TRIP.

I learned long ago that looks, especially when $$ is involved, can be very deceiving. Sam Walton rarely ever dressed like he had two pennies to rub together...:grin-square:

It's close. but a cruise is better

I thought I would hate a cruise, but Ikinda like them. Swimming with the
stingrays in the Grand Caymens,snorkeling, Met Jerry Van Dyke on the
street in Playa Del Carmen, and talked with him about the TV show Coach
and just walked around with him listening to his stories. Won a bunch of
cheap ass switch blade knifes pitching to the line with one of the local street
hustlers.Now that has to be more fun than losing a thousand.

probably 80% is bookie or drug money. Just a guess. Maybe some car wash money also.

It’s mailbox money. You know, from their investment portfolio. But seriously, it’s exactly what you think. Some of it is dirty and some is just hard working folks with a different perspective on saving than you and I. Ive watched the biggest gambler in central Florida go off for over 30 years. While he has a business (very cash heavy) and can lose 100K at a time when he wants it seems the road folks that are always trying to play position on him fall into the other catagories I mentioned above. I think Johnny Ross was the best at it. He would even call this gambler and tell him to beware when he thought other hustlers were playing position on his game.

things aren't always how they appear to be

Two guys look like bums. One bought his clothes at walmart, one has a few yards worth of hi-fashion on, they both look the same to most of us!

When I owned blue collar businesses I kept business and gambling money separate. If I went broke gambling I took twenty dollars seed money and started over. I moved a lot more money from the gambling side to the legit side than I moved from the legit side to the gambling side. It wasn't unusual to have enough to buy a new car on me or in my favorite hiding places around the house.

I knew married men that did the same. Keeping their gambling money and working money separate kept the wife happy and in the dark about how much money was moving around on the gambling side. Other married men I knew split all big wins with their wives. Again, kept the wives happy. The wives saw going out shooting pool as their second job.

A chuckle, a lady always bet the daily double with the bookie that came into where she worked as a waitress for coffee and maybe breakfast every morning. The two dollars out of tips was never noticed but occasionally her new husband found a wad of money in her purse, she was pretty good at hitting the daily double. Her husband didn't know she was betting, thought she must be tricking!

Good post. My shade tree mechanic lives in a trailer, is not formally educated past his GED, but he always carries about 3-4 k cash on him at all times, in case he sees a car on the side of the road he wants to buy and flip. No telling how much money he has in the cookie jar at home...

By shooting one handed, jacked up. He pocketed the ball and cueball ended up on the short rail leaving him a back cut. He missed it. Again, it’s one handed. It happens.

On the flip side playing one handed does make dumping a little easier, because pretty much any out or ball can be missed shooting like that.

Of course I do know Justin Cone and I wouldn't think he'd dump. Every time I ever saw him in action he played a straight game and played it as hard as nails.

I'm confused as to which game the op lost money at. Was it the spot shot where the guy raised the bet and made the next one or roadman playing jacked up?

pretty sure it was playing RM "jacked up"

AZ member "ibaxxx" rated HOLM as a capable apa 7 speed player. i respect his ability to clock speed so RM losing the set is understandable once HOLM stretched out.

assuming the match was legit RM not pushing for a 3rd set is also validation

Wait he was supposed to make it in the side pocket and not the 2 rail bank in the corner?[/QUOT

a capable apa 7 wouldn't have missed the shot by more than a diamond, he was baitin the hook

i believe HOLM to be a capable apa 7

Of course he was baiting the hook. It would take a HUGE moron IMO to actually believe that he was trying to really make the first attempt...... huge moron.

I really think he was scared that he would make it the first time so he ended up missing it even worse than intended. Either that, lol ...... or he KNEW the room was full of morons.
