Oh come on, Oscar's a huge favorite in this game, why would he turn down a far better than even chance to win 50K (and more.)

They're both wearing noise-cancelling ear buds, and from what I saw the crowd is fine, and yeah the guy likes to brush the table but they're both playing extremely...deliberately. This is not a tournament, there's no shot clock, and nobody's paying to watch. For that bet they can take whatever time they like. And I don't know, but am guessing that Oscar speaks Spanish, so there's no language barrier.

I'll take Raulito +5 tonight if anybody wants a couple easy benjamins. . (shoot me a msg)

I've been thinking about trying it just as a curiosity. I'm guessing it would be a struggle for me since I tend to use more english than needed, but just for fun I'd like to compare long straight in shots with a flat vs a quarter just to see if there is improvement.

In theory, if you have a 13mm flat tip you can probably hit about 5mm (maybe more) off center and still have the same effect as hitting center ball.

I can't find it now, but there was a YT video probably 6ish years ago where a guy had drilled an 1/8" hole in the center of the tip and he claimed it made center ball shots very easy. If I remember correctly, he left the rest of the tip shaped and claimed he could still apply english. If your pattern play is good enough that you can use natural angles to move the cue ball, a flat (or at least flatter) tip might be helpful.

maybe it teaches his kid to be street smart and not a fool or ninnie as he grows up. that is more important to most of things to learn.

most of the good gamblers i know become very rich and had great families and lives.

and did what they wanted to do every day they woke up, instead of going to a job and saying yes sir or no sir.
