I'm not letting some shady pool players into my house.

I would be ok with women pool players, they are less likely to rob me.

I think their main issue was the sloped rails.

I don’t play in a league, I don’t play in tournaments as of now. However, I wanted to get my Fargo established. I got my initial rating by emailing Fargo and they set it. Then I just play Rated players from my pool room in Salotto and report my games. I have 110 games in the system now by doing this.

I have even hosted games at my house with a few buddies.

I see, so linking Salatto to my fargo, and challenging others = how to keep improving the scores ? That means I can hang around the Bar and put up a table ?

However you want to do the matches, you can do it, in a pool hall, at your house, wherever. Probably not good for just randomly asking people to play using the app, it's more geared towards those who already know how to play and know about Fargo. You would want to play with players already in the system so you can get an accurate comparison to your skill. Improving the scores is up to you LOL, but you will get more games in the system for a more accurate result. https://salotto.app/ https://salotto.app/how-it-works/ There is a fee for using the app to submit to Fargo.

But how would they “wax” the ball with a lot of people watching and not get caught?

When you're about to break, loads of players clean the cue ball by rubbing their gloves over it.

Still might be that guy who used to attend DCC and other major tourneys continually looking for action insisting that he has a cock that hangs below his knees. Sure he'd get beat up some but a fair amount of people did pay up.

I never get in those kind of bets but changing philosophies had more to do with the end of Titanic Thompson and people like him than their own behavior. Generally speaking, people don't pay off a bet when they are outsmarted. If people had to admit they lost a bet they used to pay off even if they were tricked.
Peoples' ideas of what is behaving honorably have changed a lot in the last fifty years. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. A lot of the ability of those without honor to take from those with honor is gone. However it seems mainly because more of us are willing to wallow in the mud with those without honor than once existed.

On PC it's mouse dependent.

I'm using a Macbook, and in small screen mode if I hover the cursor over the screen, then the title of the video appears, and if I move the cursor off the screen the title disappears; but in full screen mode the title is permanently displayed which blocks me from seeing shots near the head rail. Oh, the things content creators have to know/think about.

I've never had any doubts that I could play with my cue anywhere in the US. What was unclear were the rules of shipping an ivory inlayed cue for repair purposes from an ivory-ban state... how do I prove that this is a repair job as opposed to an illicit sale? I've even seen posts recommending against declaring the item as a pool cue when shipping or insuring. I have lost pretty expensive collectibles over USPS mail before, so I won't be making that mistake again.

Doesn’t look 60” from here.

this is just rumors. but yes it can benefit you if you have prepared playing with wax (or more likely silicone) and the opponent hasn't.

in a totally non-cheating setting you can use silicone spray at home to emulate fast, new cloth.

Like, polish the cue ball with the silicon spray?
