Bonus Ball--That Dog Won't Hunt

I wish them luck but am not sure they have got it right yet,Only time will tell.
I hope they do not break the Derby by hogging up a lot of the players. They need to get a few weeks of play in and then have those players come in and dominate and also pump up the Bonus Ball hype while at the Derby. The word could be got out to alot of people who are potential BB purchasers.
Good luck Bonus Ball

The Dog will Hunt! yesterday, I visited the site along with Darren Appleton. There were construction delays. When the product is finished, it is going to turn out as a very fine product. Larry gave all the details. so much thought put in the planning. Larry already spent huge sum of $ that was never been heard in pool on US soil. Just to give an example- larry bought Cameras and paraphernalia for cameras costing him Eight Hundred thousands+ dollars. The man has Passion.
How are they going to generate revenue in the begining? PPV streams? I'm sorry I just can't see it.

I wish them luck. Even with deep pockets, you need someone to sell the product. The PR guy is not from pool, is rubbing many exisiting promoters the wrong way with his arrogance, and doesn't even have a link to their site on his sig line. You are taking a product that has been a difficult sell, and making it an even harder sell by creating a very different new game. Hope they are all geniuses.

Yes Pinter you need people to sell it but more importantly you need people to buy it. Lots of people to be able to give the players a steady paycheck. I just hope they don't hurt too Many people in the Long run. It's already affected TAR. I was wondering why it was taking so long to see another TAR match.

I'm punter, although sometimes I have a pint.
Haha sorry, my iPhone doesn't know what a Punter is.
No problem Dorabelle. just kidding.
Well, you can at least bet on it.
Let them worry about it. If it goes great then it will be a game changer and five years from now we will all be matching up in Bonus Ball. If it flames out after the first season then we will have a bunch of BB footage and lots of people with smug I-told-ya-so attitudes. No big deal either way so we might as well hope for the positive outcome.

Exactly right, John, and I agree. Enjoy the ride while it's moving forward.
I'm still wondering, though, why they haven't paid Canadian Jim Wych for services rendered if they've got such deep pockets. To me, that stinks to high heaven.

Funny you say that. I was just tryin ro figure out the best way to go about the bet. Over a year? Players left over a year? Players all paid over a year....?
It seems that Bonus Ball has it's share of detractors for various reasons. Personally, I think everyone should be hoping they make it and make it big.
Maybe Bonus Ball will make pool popular with the masses. That is all we can hope for. If it does, it will be good for all promoters and pool in general.
There's no doubt that television and advertising revenues are what will make Bonus Ball a success story or not.

I wish them well too. It's math and it's looking like a lot more money is going out then coming in. I don't tie my emotions to math because no matter how much I hope or wish or have passion for something, math always wins. This stuff should be openly talked about, no one wants to see anyone lose money or major events that are already around be affected.
Every other game has tried to "make it" through TV. Didn't the IPT have big ties in TV?
The BB guys have obviously thought about all this stuff. Maybe they have something up their sleeves or super deep pockets.

You are interpreting it that I am stating it as a fact, which is a normal forum trait when people twist words around to mean different things. It happens all the time, especially here in AzBilliards Land. Everybody has their own agenda.
I do notice in reading this forum that the majority of pool peeps and AzBilliards members from the fine State of Arizona is very much pro Bonus Ball.
Of course, maybe I am twisting words around to mean different things by this statement.
If you read the other thread correctly, then maybe you would be able to ascertain that I learned of this news from three different sources that Jim Wych was owed money from the Bonus Ball entity. IOW, this is hearsay. I have not spoken to Jim Wych, nor have I spoken to Bonus Ball.
Does this help clarify?
