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

What a long way for you to say, “no I don’t gamble”.
I don’t like gambling period.
I think it’s the worst thing for pool.
I gambled a few times, just to teach some idiots some life lessons, never took the money at the end of it…
Thankfully, I have other ways to make money.
I got to be the best that I could be, without gambling.

Two of the upcoming WNT ranking events canceled

where does it say yuma event may be up in the air?
I was basing it on the fact that MR has already cancelled two events very close to their dates and the OP's comment in the first post: Scott Frost posted on Facebook earlier today pleading for more signups for the Yuma Open.

It's a 128-player, single-elimination bracket. That's tough action and travel expenses for an event that's essentially in the middle of nowhere.

When gambling, if you lose, you can keep on playing until you lose all the money in your pocket or start to win.
In tournaments, you lose twice and your out, can’t continue to play.
If it’s a small local tournament than maybe the pressure of gambling is higher, depends on the effect on your life if you lose.
If you travel to the other side of the world risking a lot of money covering expenses and you lose twice and go home, that’s a total different pressure that no gambling can match. Unless you are an amateur with no expectations and just travel for the fun of it.
If you gamble more than you can afford to lose, than this is something completely different, then you’re an idiot and I don’t know if idiots feel pressure
What a long way for you to say, “no I don’t gamble”.
