Best finals since...?

Click to expand...

i would say 2018, but if you omit the quirkyness of mark williams when he's in the zone (shooting with eyes closed and one handed etc), this may be the best final i have seen.

the quality in the last session alone was just incredible. very few nerve cracks from either player - and you could tell by the strokes and crisp ball contacts.

congrats to the bet. i had already got mine in so i didn't have skin in the final. glad i picked finalist and not winner..

There's no expectation of honest play. That's why there's no traditional betting on pool. There's at least the illusion of respectability in other sports.

if they are betting their own money it is automatically honest play or no play it is just a show.

pool was always traditional betting between the players and those that side bet and trusted the players.

like anything else if you are not street smart you get taken.

I'd prefer several sets race to 25 over a single race to 120. This is a new modern world, after all Time to adapt.

Yeah I like this much better too. Race to 25 daily: 9-ball, 10-ball, 1p, even 8-ball and 14.1

We were doing this in the late 80's, it's been around for a while now.

That's because pool is a stupid f*****g game

The ball never goes where you want it too, but it always goes where you put it...

I don't understand why they are gambling with each other when they will potentially be teammates in less than half a year at the Mosconi Cup.

They should be trying to match up with guys like Filler, Kaci, filipinos, FSR, Yapp, Shaw, Ko bros, etc.

This is why we always lose

The Mosconi Cup is a very short race Exhibition. Very different then a long gambling match, I believe.

Good shooting td873 on a tough table! You catapulted to the top. First post updated.
