Assuming two players, Player A is +50 Fargo vs. Player B.

In a race to 9, if Player A is down 0-4, his odds of winning are 31.47%.

In the Predator BO3 format, if player A loses the first set 0-4, his odds of winning are still 46.54%.

Doesn't this run counter to your hypothesis that the odds are the same between the two formats?

What’s the couple (past or present) with the highest combined skill level?

Hi everyone,

I'm very much interested in the history of our wonderful sports and I was just wondering if anyone had a copy of Charles Ursitti's "The History of Pocket Billiards in America 1990-99" (or any similar record of tournament results)? I only have a copy of 1980-89 - if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM and I will send across (can't post it here as the document is over 100kb).

The tourney stats on AZ go back to 2000 only. It's really sad that, unlike for other sports, there is no complete historical pool tournaments data on the Internet.

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers,
Terry

I bought the night café 3-d printed one , the complete set was less than 200 bucks. For me , it works excellent for replacing tips. Even did super hard 'icebreaker' & 'double face' break tips. For the money, Im pretty happy.
