Got bored and wanted to look back at the payout compared to the costs to buy each player.

Evan Lunda $130k/20k (+$110k)
Fedor Gorst $65/$46 (+$19k)
Justin Hall $40/$17 (+23k)
Tony Chohan $28/$33 (-$5k)
Roland Garcia $17/$16 (+$1k)
Mark Magi $17/$4,500 (+$12,500)
Sky Woodward $11,800/$23 (-$11,200)
Chip Compton $11,800/$9 (+$2,800)

Expensive, and out of the money
Roberto Gomez $37k
John Morra $27k
Francisco Bustamante $13k
Josh Roberts $13k
Billy Thorpe, Devin Poteet, Jonathan Hennessee, $9k each

Conclusion? Making money from a calcutta is some tough action?

nice stats

My conclusion would be: it isn't tough action in the sense thas it's zero sum game. (Players as a group don't lose money.)

Payout is just so top heavy, that only the winner is really profiting from calcutta and all the guys not winning just contribute to his winnings. (So for Lunda to win 110k almost a dozen guys need to lose 10k.)

Barry Hearn actually said in a recent interview the Brentwood Centre needed big upgrades. Then again, who expected the London area to be so hot this time of year. Hotter in London now than in DC.

The location is much closer to London and the main UK airport, however. Got to imagine it's easier to get to, which is why so many Asians turned up.

I Read people saying that just last week it was freezing. This is the hottest week for this time of year on record. We just had it in pa.. it was almost 90 one week then last week it was in the 30s. That’s life.. you got to adjust to what conditions throw at you

I know this will invoke the ire and wrath of others, many of whom have never even touched a Searing cue.

IMO, he is overrated for the amount or praise and adoration heaped upon him. There’s other cue makers
that build cues equivalent in design execution and their cues cost a helluva lot less & they have no bad press.

People will come forth and criticize me for saying Dennis Searing can build amazing pool cues but…..his aren’t
any better than the workmanship of some cue makers that’s just as talented but also have no customer gripes.

I am not saying there’s anything inferior about his cue making. Quite the contrary as I think Searing is very talented
but there’s other cue makers equally skilled. But since he garnishes the highest praise, IMO, it really isn’t deserved.

I agree on equal or even better workmanship by some other cue makers. That said he has without a doubt earned his reputation, praise and price point. That didn't happen by accident.

Fargo rating will definitely be correlated with 1p success. But 1p is a different enough game from 10b/9b/8b which probably constitutes well over 90% of the games in FR, that FR can't be assumed to be as accurate as it is for those other games.

Guys like Chohan, Lunda, and Hall demonstrate this perfectly. Who would take them in an open rotation game tournament? They are dead money on the international pro level...except at 1p.

i honestly think including heyball would make as much sense. it would maybe even correlate better. but if enough of his market is one pocket, or barboxes, it makes sense from a commercial perspective
