There were quite a few for sale in the " For Sale " section awhile back I can't remember how much they,wanted for them or the brand of cue they once were used with .
Happy Hunting !

Question from a non American : how can it be so much money at stake? Bets?

This one is mine.

Dr Dave still wears those little glasses. Anthony finally got rid of them a year or so ago and got real pool glasses. hahaha.

Shane is definitely being outclassed in this one. Anthony is playing great.

I really thought it was a pick-em (and so must have a LOT of other ppl considering the bet amount). Anthony is murdering Shane though. Its not even close.

Anthony on a good run now.
This is way better than trying to watch banks when 99% of the players don't regularly play that game. With all the lower ratings still in the tournament, It's impossible for me to enjoy.

Then why can they say played B played at a 930FR? Seems pretty telling to me and it's over the match or tournament.

Just sayin

People can say all they want, that doesn’t mean they actually performed like a 930. Perhaps they did, perhaps they didn’t.

Your opponent could be a 750 on average but the typical match to match variability in their actual performance is probably on the range of 100-150 points. Maybe even more for lower rated players.

Filler just beat Krause 10-0. His skill level was not infinity and Krause’s was not negative infinity, which is what that calculation would mindlessly spit out.

But he got on that there tv

yes, I understand FR is relative, and TPA is absolute. However, FR is automatically calculated. A single match, or an entire tournament performance says: "this player showed up and did way better than his normal". It's good and useful info. Because it's so easy to obtain, it is actually used. Most people I know go to the performance tab in digitalpool and see how they are doing relative to the field and their average.

TPA is about impossible to obtain. There are not 10,000 Pat's around to score every game.

FargoRate comparisons are not completely meaningless for match level performance, but close to it.

It's more like particulars of a cue won't matter to someone that knows what they are doing with it. Someone could hand SVB a house cue with a dogleg warp and I bet he would still beat almost everyone that posts here once he got a practice rack in.

Now, to rile up the folks that wanted a lesson for $100 from the Fedor thread: I'd pay $100 to play Shane in that situation because I think it would be hilarious.
