The Gambling Process

I watched the whole thing once waiting for Jimmy to admit it was a gag. You are left wondering why Jimmy made the video. A lot of work just for fun. Did he think some would take it seriously? Was that the purpose? It seems like too much work to be directed at those that know better. The video remains a mystery. I would think the long range plan was to make a buck, but how?

Going from memory but I think there was a discussion on this some time back. I’m not going searching for it, but I recall they had plans to do a video while at that event in Aspen. Early days of VHS. What we might call content creation now. Sounded disorganized and no script prepared. Jimmy was left to his own devices/ improv. But they got something on tape and who can complain about the Mataya/Medina matchup. 😁

Advice On This Shot

Unlikely, but anything is possible. Let's make the shot more specific.
Cue ball on the head spot, object ball one ball to the right of the center spot (exact center of the table), cut the ob to the right into the side pocket. 9-foot table.
Can you make that 80% with right side spin?
The shot will be exactly a 90-degree cut if the OB goes into the center of the side pocket.
I once seen a guy hit a true 90 degree shot from the left corner pocket to the right corner pocket with the object ball on the spot...
If only that guy were here to give us sage advice.... :)
