Anyone willing to bet a decent amount is gonna be a player. There's usually a table for 5 or 10 a game going.

He no longer uses a Cuetec, but some others do....

Yea - I heard he had a falling out with them a few years ago. And I think before Cuetec he shot with a Meucci for a while too IIRC. Not sure what he's playing with these days. He's a character. :)

APA 6? You'll be donating.

But, if you must, at least know what your loss will be.

As the late Grady Matthews recounted, "A betting man knows, that two even money propositions is actually three to one against."

As as "The Kid From Brooklyn" often yelled... Think about it !!!

All the best,

If a guy wants to flip quarters with you for 100, don't do it. Especially if he offers you 2:1 on the $.

If a guy wants to bet he can jump over the pool table, don't do it.

If anyone wants to shoot a CB across the room and bet he can make it through somebody else's legs, bet at your own risk.

When you hear somebody barking about spot shots, particularly if clad in athletic shorts and slippers, place your wallet in your front pocket and hold it there with your hand as if you are a tourist riding the NYC subway for the first time.

That should cover you from the expo bandits, first timer. If you want to actually bet on pool, have fun and don't wager much more than you would be upset about if you left it in your pants in the wash on laundry day.

yes to all! :thumbup:

add this one:

don't bet with a guy who claims to have a cock that hangs below his knee. :eek:

he's a tattoo artist. :grin-square:

best,
