Attn; Jeff Sparks !

The bet was $1K that I've don't more for pool than you, you said it, now back it up??

And of course, the big bad gambler will ignore it. . No worries, I knew you were all talk and no action.

I can lower it to a hundred if a $1K is to much. Do you ever get embarrassed with your talk and then can't back it up, I mean, you're the gambler, not me. Put it up. I'll POST it today, to Lenny, he's a trustworthy guy, just say the word. No worries, everyone here already knows you won't do it. I've already gotten PM's that says you won't post it, you're just not good action...... just an old nit, with no more balls to back up his talk.... time to just fade away.

I'm betting Lou might have already told you NOT to.


RJ, I don't even understand what the bet is that you're proposing so I can't tell anyone anything.

Could you spell it out so we all know what the terms/conditions are?

Lou Figueroa
 
You're pathetic. Yep, I was right, the insults come when you start losing. Come on, take me up on my bet. Big mouth is all talk and NO action.

IS $1K too much for ya,,,,, yeah, what a nit.


What is the bet?!

I responded to his post above about contributing to the game of pool.

I said we can have Mark Griffin decide who had contributed the most to pool. He admits he likes SJD, and he does not know me, so there can be no complaints about the judge.

Mark makes the call, plan and simple. No second guessing, no appeal process, NOTHING. If he says SJD, I ship $1K his way. If he says me, I get the same shipped my way.

We both can present our written argument to Mark, and he can decide. I'm sure, as much as Mark has done for the game of pool he would be able to decipher who has done more in his professional opinion.

I will abide by Mark's decision. I will POST up today to Lenny. I mean, I'm a nobody in the pool world, right? How could he not JUMP on this bet ;)


Define "contribution." Just in terms of money and action injected into the game, which Greg Sullivan celebrates every year at the DCC; pure reputation as a great player; and simply by his induction into the onepocket.org HOF, I'd say you'd need some pretty big bona fides to be in the mix. Supporting your local Boys Club of America and your dad owning a room is not going to cut it.

Lou Figueroa
 
Be careful about gambling with SJD, remember he is a known air barreller!!!

Was that a standard move for you, back in the day, SJD? Lose all of your money, then air barrel a car?

Oh, no worries, he was never gonna take me up on the bet he could NOT in a million years win. Funny thing I had him worried a little, that he said he was checking my prior posts on AZB to see "what I did for pool". LMAO.

I'm sure someone finally googled my name to let SJD to lay off, he was being set up like a bowling pin ;)
 
Are they not missing you by now in all the homophobic threads in NPR?

Lou Figueroa
just askin''

About as much as they are missing you in the Public Affairs Office.

Aren't you "another one" who has been banned from most of the forums at one time or another?

Thought so.

Aloha.
 
I know NOTHING and don't profess to, but there is ONE thing I am pretty sure of.

I'm PRETTY SURE I HAVEN'T been booted off and banned from any pool forums.

Can you say the same?

I don't want to point out any names, but I can name a handful who have been booted and banned (at least once or temporarily) from almost every worthwhile pool forum on the net.

Wonder why that is?

Aloha.


So he's been booted. BFD and aloha, baby.

He's in their HOF ;-)

Lou Figueroa
"No, no you can't take that away from me..."
 
Yes, pack and run, I thought as much. Everyone told me you would never cover the bet. That you are all talk and no walk anymore. Just lonely and bitter. Sucks you can't walk the walk anymore, especially a big time gambler such as yourself, afraid of just this little old league player. LMAO.

So, I'm just assuming you're gonna run and hide now. So, can we confirm, you want no part of this action? So, next time think before you open your trap, because if you can't back it up, then it doesn't mean squat now, does it. pt109 would be a good judge as well, there are many here that would be... not that you would ever actually put up.

Oh, and who ever said that I live in CHICAGO... oh, that would be nobody. Nice try in deflecting... the only thing being deflected is you running and hiding from another bet.

Yep, ALL bark and no bite..... By George, I think you've been neutered ;) I guess I'll let you have your balls back now !!


WHAT'S THE BET, RJ?

It is the height of nittiness to rag on a guy about a bet he won't take when the terms and conditions of winning or losing the bet are indecipherable.

He's already back out. And I spelled it quite clearly in a prior post. And no, Greg Sullivan does NOT have an award for the person who does the most for pool. I believe that is the action award for who gambles the most during the DCC.

Those two are NOT the same.

Thus why we would need a bonafide judge to say who has done more for pool. SJD hustling some suckers and air barreling some other sucker, is not gonna cut it either.. How did that promote or do anything for the game of pool It didn't do anything except put money in his pocket or someone's else's.

You can have his action if you want. but this is not who won or lost the most money gambling, cause that would be Artie, but who has done more for pool in general. That was the question.

And at least you can ask a question without insulting someone. I never insulted him, but then he gets all riled up, goes on a tangent, then it's freddy this, or Mr. 3 Cusion that, and all Chicagoans are inbred. I mean, there is something wrong with him, seriously ?

Geezus. What is the frippin' bet already? You're the only one that knows at this point.

Bammmm. Wrongo. Nice try. Thanks for playing.

BTW, they are missing you in the gay themed threads in NPR. Now scoot!

It's a HOF you have belittled for being a 'old boys club' type that you say is fixed. So which is it Lou? A real bonafide HOF or a fixed old boys club that you only get in with the right friends? You can't have it both ways.

Well, if you are going to be SJD's mouthpiece, and defender, you should at least read the posts.

It was clearly in post #52 for all to see, except you. so, to be fair, you are defending him and already putting up an argument against me, without really knowing what the hell is going on ?

Again, he's backed out already but you can have his action. It was simple, who's done more for pool, who's helped more, who's contributed more to the game itself, including promoting pool.

He called me out, I only asked him to back it up with cash. Nothing really difficult about it.

And if you think HOF is enough for SJD, than you are already losing the bet. That did nothing for the game...it helped nobody, it did not promote the game. If that's all he got, I can see why he backed out.

Where did you spell it out? How do you define "does the most for pool?"

And what I meant about GS is that that one of the central purposes of the DCC (and the late SC) is to celebrate the hustling and the gambling life. It is something Greg and I have talked about numerous times.

It's not about an award it is the reason for the whole event. It's why he supports onepocket.org honoring road agents and hustlers from the past who would otherwise never garner the recognition and honor he feels they deserve.

You should be careful about who you nominate to judge your "bet." Depending on how they define "contribution" you could lose.

Of course, more double speak. It means nothing and it's a joke, now he's hanging SJD's hat on the HOF credential to win the bet.... he gonna need to do a lot better than that ;)

I've read them all and your "conditions" are clear as mud.

I'm not defending him on this issue. I just think it's pretty nitty to crow about a guy not accepting a bet that is so indecipherable.

Spell it out. You might get action.

Are you in a pool related HOF?

Not so easy to accomplish.
