Kaci, pro pool and prize money

Bad math?

Sports is a business. The only reason anyone pays athletes is that they get some return on their investment. The bigger the return, the larger the payday for the participants. That's how business works.

Pool doesn't provide much return. Compared to other major sports leagues, neither does the WNBA, Though admittedly, the league has finally climbed into the black, at least for the time being.

That's not a strawman, it's simple fact.

It's worth noting that the purses in golf grew exponentially when Tiger Woods arrived on the scene. His enormous popularity drove viewership and advertising revenues which directly impacted prize money. The WNBA is in a similar situation right now. It'll be interesting to see if they take advantage of it or screw it up.

Pool? Not so much.

Champion pool players aren't stars and that's the problem.

Champions can walk into a pool hall and most of the patrons have no idea who they are.

If they go to a super market, they are anonymous.

Until pool has real stars it won't have real money.

Content is sold by stars........

In Hollywood they can make movies without human actors but they haven't figured out how to sell them........

A good place to start is commentators having complete bios on every player...........

You think I am asking twice what it is worth, meaning you think this fancy Gus is only worth $8,000? Seriously?

Well you're obviously not getting your asking price; you haven't for years, so what is the market telling you....? Whether it's 2x higher than it should be is less the issue. Most people on here have been telling you it's too high and you don't want to lower the price. You just make continual inquiries about the market. Lots of Gus' are selling quickly at asking price, but in addition to the cue being priced too high, you're hurting your reputation and high end buyers may not want to deal with you because of your behavior on this forum. At this point, your best bet is to turn to an AZ member who sells high end cues. He'll inspect it, suggest a reasonable price, take nice pictures, vouch for the condition, and the cue will probably sell quickly.

Every VFW, American Legion, Elks, or whatever that I've ever been in had some weird little propriety game that the locals played and loved.

I can't remember ever running into any of them outside of those individual locales...

I really like the VFW, especially the one in Granbury, TX. They have some good players and even better people. Plus the drinks are cheap and the girls are pretty. Oh, and sometimes they play Texas One Shot!
