Bogus Ball..from the start

So they combine Company names now.

Run Out Bonus Ball.

Cause they Ran out of money and pretty much Ran Out on the players.

But hey, I heard that the new investors are Scary Rich.

Maybe Google is taking them over.

Anyone for a little Google Ball.

Thats even scarier than Bobble Ball. I got one for Christmas several years ago. Serves me right for insisting that one of my Christmas presents had to be Billiard related.

If I remember correctly according to the Bobble Ball web site. It was the new game that everyone will be playing.

BTW, I have a new in the package Bobble Ball for sale. Think about it.
Team Bobble Ball.

When you take it out of your case at the hall, all the players will be coming around your table in anticipation of being able to be cut in on the next game of Bonus Bobble.

Well, on the bright side, Nathan can always work for Justin.

I go into hiding now. I wonder what kind of beer Hit Men like to drink.

And don't forget, Jay has a pool. So, bring your beach balls (purple & orange of course). The BB girls will be standing poolside in bikinis spotting you a towel. And Larry has promised to buy everyone surf and turd.
 
KoolKat,a new schedule...please! Who is going to pay the airfares and the hotel rooms for all the players coming from all over the country[ not to mention the players fees also]?

Perhaps a new entity that has a lot of money and big plans in hopes of making more?

That 13 minute video on a busted bankroll wasn't made for us... I just believe, they have been out pimping their product with it. The silence of the pros leads me to believe they're holding hope, after all the horsecrap, that a white knight and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, is worth their waiting. I could be wrong, time will tell.
 
golub, Scott is a friend of mine.That is one reason I don't want to see him or the others lose credibility or more financial damage because of BB.I know many of them are still hoping for a miracle.I think they have a better chance of winning the lottery.Sad but true.It gets worse every day.

PS If the Pros had a better deal, like the promoters paying their expenses or at least an appearance fee like Bonus Ball does, (which works out to about $300/hr), then I think they would have taken that deal in the first place...Pro pool as it is now has indeed bankrupted all but a few Pro players and isn't working...I am supporting the Pros and Pro pool in which ever positive direction it may go from here...How about you???[/B]

I find this statement and line of thought OFFENSIVE!

Players could take the money from event prize funds and Award the top 32 or 64 players $1000 for the week like bb attempted! Cap the winnings and spread it evenly!

These guys want free money and added prize fund? It just sounds crazy! Then who makes the cut off for appearance fees? You are 33 and cut off 32! They don't trust their ability to earn the money but want a sure thing!

So, when ryan mccreesh or kirkwood or danny smith wins a slot in the top 32 they go ballistic!

The players routinely in the top money would not want 3000 for first instead of 15000 or 20,000

The statement has me convinced these guys are CRAZY!

Come one, come all!
 
GOLUB,you seem to think investors are stupid and can't see BB is a failure without my help.You also seem to think it is ok not to pay workers .No big deal in your world.We disagree on these 2 issues.

I think cheaters should be exposed ,to warn others and try to assist the injured parties.The only way they will get paid is if enough pressure,socially and legally,is put on BB people.You don't see any BB posts refuting any of our facts or conclusions.You seem to say cheaters are ok and nobody should say anything. We just disagree.Everyone lives by their own morals.

Also, 75% or so, of the start-ups fail...so it's not a big deal...and when this happens (usually from my personal experiences anyway) people lose $$$...many people, and it's quite common for people not to get paid etc......

Not a big deal, for whom?

That explains half of the views that they get.



It probably helps to make millions hand over fist. Not sure $30k a year really touches that mark. Yeah, from my experience it's also the people in power/powerful people that don't complain. Slowly losing touch with reality there? :confused:

Edit: Here's an example.. I doubt that the people ruin..err..running BB are complaining about not getting their paychecks. Must be because they're mentally tough..

The road makes a person tough in many ways, shapes and forms. There's been thousands of very successful people that have had their share of ups and downs, it's just part of the journey. There's no easy way to change, it's not coded into the "human nature". Thomas Edison was the greatest "sample example" and said it like this:

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. - Thomas A. Edison

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. - Thomas A. Edison

Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits. - Thomas A. Edison

It's not clear how these snippets of wisdom from Thomas Edison can be applied to Bonus Ball.

For one thing, the BB players have little or no control over how this is resolved. All the BB players can do now is wait and hope for the best -- which is hardly what I call controlling their destinies.
 
i'm going to say it again -

everything should lie in that elusive contract


now if they BK'd, then there's no recourse on arrears. but according to FatBoy, we've got 1.5 more weeks till the big announcement.

Think it's more along the lines of "if first you don't succeed, try, try again!". Just another sad saga of "professional" pool in the US.

Any statements released by fearless leader Johhny Archer or the ABP? Sure wants to protect those same players from the big, bad Barry Behrman and his event. At least most of the players have been paid. Even if it was late.

So we are still operating under FatBoy's "be patient" ? Good to know. I thought that had fallen by the wayside.
