At those odds I could probably back every player in the tournament and make a profit whoever won it.

with the 256 entries it means the average odds for a player drawn at say at random would be 255 to one.

good reason probability should be taught more in lower grades.

his tips were just as good as any. which for the most part defines most all tips.

but tip selection seems now to be a mental thing.

so its smart to buy what you have confidence and ignore what others say.

That may be it. There is probably enough room to fit cardboard around each ball for protection during shipping. Kind of expensive piece of wood for packaging, with the curves, but labor was cheap back then.

Not really a very good fit of 16 - 2 1/4" balls. I had to push from the top and bottom and still I couldn't get full contact with all the balls. I don't have enough 2 1/2" balls to try a fit with those.

Maybe it's for something besides billiards? This guy was a hoarder. The sellers tried to put similiar things together but they did include with this pool table, a dealer display cabinets for golf clubs thinking it was for cues.

These are FACTS!

That's all!

simple, if not happy with a company only a fool would do business with them.

book makers make the lines so they have the best of it supposing no matter who you bet on.

The Numero Uno Factor when it comes to choosing a shaft: does it feel good and inspire confidence.

In fact, I'd say it's the only thing for typical shafts.

I don't think there are objective differences in how "well" they play, only in how well you play with them.

I've watched a few Sigel matches and he has never impressed me the way guys like Buddy Hall, Earl, and Johnny have. Do you (or anyone else) have any recommendations for matches to find where Sigel just boat raced somebody or looked like an all-time great player? His matches are entertaining, I can't deny that.

Here are a couple:
