you might want to use that master chalk you used all your playing life when you were about the best in the world.

it worked for you then and still does.

the vast majority of gamblers are honest and do pay their debts if they have them. they would not be able to regularly get bets down if they didn't pay.

its the few that use gambling as an addition and will steal or whatever to get money for it.

that's the picture in the heads of those against gambling.

yet they gamble every day of their lives when they carry insurance on anything. as that is strictly a straight bet that they will
have something go wrong or happen to them. just the opposite of a person betting on themselves.

Not necessarily.

A good friend asks to borrow my knife; I ask if I can cut something for them. A good friend asks to borrow my tools, I ask what repairs I can help them with or, sometimes, I gift them one of my spares if I have one. A good friend asks to borrow my cue; I point them to the house cues.

That they're a good friend doesn't imply they know how to properly use or care for tools. Usually, if they have that knowledge, they don't need to borrow; they already have their own.

Seems kind of silly. Why try and reinvent anything if they want to play a shorter game just play six ball.
