Buffalo's 1 Pocket Calcutta $$

Thanks @skip100. I knew the Fargo rating inherently wasn't the direct prediction, and your 50-point adjustment is interesting. Fargo gives us the best independent data source available. Perhaps in the future, the Fargo site will allow us to select a Fargo Rating by Player and by event. Your model is the beginning of the ability to price a calcutta and to possibly see if a "fix" was in, like what happened to the casino in the 90s.

Any player with the paid version of the FargoRate app can search for their own situational rating playing specific games - including one pocket.

I’m pretty sure [mention]Mike page [/mention]at FargoRate could generate a list of the top 50 or whatever one pocket players by one pocket specific situational rating. This is assuming they have enough data from one pocket matches so there is sufficient robustness.

Unknown Custom Cue SOLD

I bought this cue here years ago. Dickie Neighbors refinished it, rewrapped it and made a shaft for it . It is 58 inches long has a brass 3/8-11 pin. And has spent it's life in the case too nice for me to shoot with. I'm afraid i'll bang it up. It is immaculate. I purchased it from Lee Malikoff and he said it was a Jensen. Who knows he lied about everything. however i contacted Mike Johnson, and he wouldn't say it came from his shop or anything. He asked me to send the pics, then he ghosted me. It's a sweet cue. I'll post more pics
The cue is immaculate

I'm looking to get SOLD plus shipping and pay pal friends and family or you can cover those fees A lot less than what i have in it

Dumping - caught

I think, amongst civilians, pool has a pretty seedy reputation, going back to at least when Eddie Felson got his thumbs broken.

But in all the years I’ve been playing I have see very little violence between players, sweators, and backers. The threat has often been there but virtually no motion. Has there been the ocassional drunken episode amongst bangers, sure. But between players I’ve seen almost nothing. Basically the money is too small. But one of these days one of these yahoos is going to go a little too big with the wrong guys and regret it.
