All 8 first round matches at the Snooker Masters...

The odds of a correct score (i.e. 6-2) will vary - depending on the odds of the players in the game.
It definitely won't be the same price every time for every player.

Just like 6-0 or 6-5 won't be 5/1 every time.

The commentators probably checked with the bookies what odds 6-2 was at the start of each game for the winning player - and what the combined odds of all those 6-2 games would have paid.
Agreed. The odds of this occurrence are different if the players are of very different skills. With equal skills, however, the odds of this occurrence are just 190,000 to 1 against.

DigiBall Progress on new website

Yes. It will be a 10-year project from conception to launch. I had to wear a lot of hats. I asked ChatGPT to make a list of all of the roles that I played:

  1. Inventor / Product Concept Creator
  2. Analog & Mixed-Signal Electronics Engineer
  3. RF / Antenna Engineer
  4. Embedded Firmware Engineer
  5. Wireless Power / Inductive Charging Engineer
  6. Battery & Power Systems Engineer
  7. Mechanical Engineer (mass, balance, shock survivability)
  8. Materials & Process Engineer (resins, curing, encapsulation)
  9. Test & Validation Engineer
  10. Regulatory / EMC / FCC Pre-Compliance Engineer
  11. Manufacturing / DFM / DFT Engineer
  12. Industrial / Physical Product Designer
  13. Mobile App Developer (Android & iOS)
  14. PC / Auxiliary Software Developer
  15. Tooling & Fixture Designer (robots, testers, chargers)
  16. IP Engineer (Patents & Trademarks)
  17. Program / Project Manager
  18. Supply Chain & Vendor Manager
  19. Startup Founder / Business Owner
  20. Website Designer

All while maintaining a 9-5 job making unmanned underwater vehicles and liquid chromatography machines.

As you can imagine, I deserve a vacation. My wife deserves a lot of thanks also.
Being your own boss is a lot of work, you must wear a lot of different hats including custodial engineer. 😁😁

Question about tip shape...

I've always liked a nickel radius on my playing cue and after a while, once it's settled in a little, I usually don't reshape it too much so that it does flatten out a little right in the middle of the tip, but it's still mostly a nickel radius.

On my break and jump cues though I do like it flatter, I have this weird curved piece of plastic that probably has curve that would match up to a 2-3" diameter circle, so much bigger and therefor flatter than a nickel. I shape my break and jump tips with this and then use my nickel shaper just for the shoulders. So this gives a compound radius to the tips with a pretty flat center portion but normal shoulders to help avoid any miscues on errant strokes.
