Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

And yet more often than not these bar box matches go the way that Fargo suggests it will, there will always be outliers but that true with anything, its unpreventable.

"We've been lead to believe that Fargo works well in this situation and it does not. On average, on a large scale, yes it generates expected results"

You're playing both sides of the coin there, I caught that.
Regardless of table size there will be times the weaker player wins and the stronger player loses, that why we play the matches, its no different than football handicapping. Its all about the averages and they work out well. If you are a 650 and you played a player 750 or above on a bar box you may win a match or 2 but the majority of time the better player would win. If you set up a match with SVB, Bergmann, Gorst, Styer, etc. I know which side I'm laying my money.
You're missing my point. On a large scale meaning all conditions, formats and players, which is what fargorate does. I outperform my rating under certain conditions which I listed because I've played incredible amounts of bar table 8 ball.

There are differences between alternate break and winner break when you handicap and especially when you get players that often break and run. A overly simple mathematical model of winner break versus alternate break shows that they are equal without handicap.

It's also obvious that some players are better at 8 ball than 9 ball.

Im not saying that Mike is lying but maybe just avoiding certain possibilities that would contradict his business and model. There's nothing wrong with that.
