This is a question that will get as many different answers as when someone asks for a tip recommendation. Just do what you think is right.

I don't lend out my cues because most people don't know how to chalk correctly and keep the ferrule clean.

Depends who are the guests, how well they play and how well do you know them in regards of taking care of the cues.
When I visited HK many years ago, I played with some of the HK guys that I met through this forum, and one of them lent me one of his Szambotis to play with…

The players are cheap enough not to worry about it too much.

Pro cut, so 4.5”.

Take a look at this thread.

Pay particular attention to what realkingcobra says.

At one point he mentions how tight the cloth is pulled can skew measurements, but mentions another way to measure.

I kinda see some of this but these are really just to get more people in the room/bar. People aren't going to swing at tough shots regardless, if i already have a decent amount won why risk blowin it all? Like playing roulette. I wonder what the dude's last ball was like? Doesn't really matter as he already had 6G's won. These have various rules as to the ball on break scenarios. Some places only pay 1/4 perball if you don't shoot after the break.

The payout is per ball and they have a small consolation prize if no balls are made. The guy made a ball off the break and ran out to the 10-ball and missed. The previous draw a lady made a total of 3 balls for $2505. It's a fun deal along with a cue draw every event the last draw was a $2K+ cue. With all the side stuff like raffles/50-50 draws the players/spectators support the events

My table has a cover on it when I'm not playing. It is not for non-serious players.
I know, I'm a dick.
I would say action, aska and players cues only

I hear ya. Mine is covered as well. Restored GC1, with new Simonis cloth.

I've bought a shitload of tics 4 that and have yet to get my # called.

I was called once two years ago and you had to make a ball after the break.
I had to rifle the CB to shorten a cross bank in the side and hope I didn't scratch to get paid.
I made the bank but was left with no shot and took home $4xx. Not too bad.

The ghost's fargorate would be equal to a player that tied the ghost in very long sets. An 800 pro player would absolutely murder the 9 ball ghost. Neils Feijen played it on live stream about 10 years ago. From memory, he won something like 95 out of 120 racks played.

oh wow that makes sense thanks for the explanation
