Who are the greatest players ever who were not big gamblers?

In a gambling match, most likely the gambler will win.
In a pro tournament, the athlete will win.
As mentioned, Mosconi was probably the greatest non gambler.
A lot of players claim that they don’t gamble, I doubt how true they are.
I wonder if Filer gambles, he has the pure athletic mentality but who knows… if he doesn’t gamble, then he is the best
I’ve seen Filler in the box against Chang JL

Who are the greatest players ever who were not big gamblers?

yes, and i think he would gamble a lot more were he not to be in the finals of events so often. last year he was gonna play lunda 1p for 10 or 20k but it fell through because of the 9b tournament. and of course he won that 9b banner.

thorsten is a good answer though. i don't think i've ever heard of him playing a money match, and he's among americans so much he became one
They had challenge stuff on Roy's Basement; Pia too. I suspect Hohman on the other hand gets bigger thrills at his day job.

Gilbert jump break

I have a PK sneaky with two shafts that the butt weighs 13.9oz without a weight bolt and two shafts pretty much unplayed. The butt has a couple marks in it and none through the clear and you can’t see them you gotta feel for them. Killer full splice with awesome rings. I have it on here with full description. I’d take your Gilbert and 500 cash that’s under what I’m asking and giving you over asking price for yours since I’m asking for the trade. If interested send me a pm if not I understand and nice gilly

American players who have won the US Open 9 ball Championship, in recent years?

I doubt that these is an American that can win it on paper. Even SVB seems to lose his top game and l don’t consider Fedor as American either, but anything can happen with the luck of the draw and who signs up for the event.

The US Open used to be a big deal, the second biggest and important tournament after the world 9ball. Now they are both just another WNT major points in the tour. So any major that will be won by an American will be the same achievement, yet I can’t see it happening.

it's 100k for first place now, i think. i wouldn't say that's just another event. and shane was in the final in 2024..

There was a 2nd part to my post, if you cared to read it.

is there a filipino player that doesn't gamble?

No chance. Being staked by backers is the only way young Pinoys can afford cues, table time, food etc. Plus it’s just a huge part of their culture.

Although it also raises the question of what is meant by “gamble”. Do they play in gambling matches, for sure. Do they actually gamble their own money? That’s a very different question.
