Where?

Anyway, i reckon there's a new line of jb cases coming out.

What does it matter? Thanks for the space I occupy in your head Tim. I appreciate the continued opportunities to tell people we have cases for sale and that CTE works. Each post you make addressing me allows me to have one more advertisement out there.

It matters because it would demonstrate you are impartial. Do you have faith in the partisan, John?

And spam is part of modern life. You filter it out.
 
Really, is that what you were taught, that rail birds should be chirping between 2 parties trying to negotiate a bet with one another. Really?

Man, those "46 years" of experience is paying off in spades :rolleyes:

You have nothing to offer, you are not backing anyone and most likely won't bet one thin dime, in other words, in regards to Lou and JB "offers" to gamble, you should just STFU and let the men handle things.

Go troll somewhere else.

This is a 'public' forum & the whole point of putting it here is what?

They could do in PM or where ever if John did not want it for the public eyes , ears, & words.

You're a Genius.

Impartial to what? One man called another man a liar and exception was taken. I asked them to cool it and they graciously did.

How about you? Can you show some self restraint and stop stalking me?
 
And what if lou doesn't play? Is 8 pack going to get a call?

Nope. I already know Tony is a great player. Not only does he play great but he is smart enough to use aiming systems to insure his aim is true.

That type of player is triple tough to beat.

But I would fire the 20k at him anyway and probably gladly take the offered ball.
 
I wish people I had already beaten would dare me to play again, they usually want 2 or 3 balls if I won by the margin Lou did last time.

Yeah, and I sat in pool rooms and watched players make offers to play for tens of thousand of dollars, right there in a public place, in front of dozens of folks, some of them the best pool players in the country and some just low level short stops, to folks that didn't even play pool, but they didn't chirp from the rail. Oh, but as you say, they made the offers right there in a public place, so therefore every NIT in the room should chirp in, right?

You wonder why nobody "values" your bull sh1t "46 years" of being a nit.

pardon my ignorance, but what does " gambling rules no 3 foul - 10 ahead." mean?

From the first post
3. "The game is one pocket - gambling rules no 3 foul - 10 ahead."

Said in my best Inego Montoya voice, you keep using that word but I do not think you know what it means......

It means that 3 fouls in a row doesn't lose the game. 10 ahead means that the first player to get 10 games in front wins the match.

1) Who cares how long the match takes for $20k? If you take the purse and divide it by the total number of games they play, it'll STILL be WAY more per game than a HUGE majority of the posters here have ever played for - guaranteed.

2) Lou's response was bizarre. Bizarre to the max. He's clearly the better player by a solar system. Lou's recent post of his 100-something ball 14.1 was very smooth and talented. You can give John 50 years and he wouldn't run balls like that. Forget PJ's MR reply/analysis -- that's the "stupid analyzing the bizarre." If John asked Lou to play at the top of K2, Lou SHOULD be insta-calling and making phone calls to hire the sherpas. Who the hell cares WHERE the last match was played, are you frickin' KIDDING me?!?!?!?!!?!??? If I ran out like Lou and John chirped a $20k bet and listed VERY reasonable "non-negotiables," I'd basically be telling my wife to not expect me around the house too much between now and the match and to book my flight asap. If John wants the match to take place in Mozambique, Lou should make sure his passport is up to date and learn the pops and clicks it takes to ask for a water and where the bathroom is at. Unreal.

3) Lou is clearly a heavy favorite -- what is the line if this goes off? People think John has ZERO chance to win and that can't be true. If someone gives me a REAL line that reflects the REAL difference in ability, I'd like to bet on John.

Lou's post was chicken-shittified to the abso-effing-lute max. Just sayin'.

You seem a little biased toward your friend to me. The other view point is one guy is willing to negotiate terms and come to a compromise they can both agree on (the one that made the most concessions the last time), and one guy isn't willing to negotiate anything, not one single thing, and it will be all his terms that he dictates or nothing at all (the one who made the least concessions last time and dictated most of the terms then too). Now which one of the two approaches is the one used by someone who actually wants to see a match come off in real life? Which of those approaches would be used by someone who is more interested in having something to bark about online but isn't so interested in having a match actually come of it in real life? Seems pretty clear to me.

Also pretty clear to me is that Lou doesn't think he is stealing or that Lou is "better by a solar system". He thinks he has the edge, but also knows he can lose if John plays closer to his peak than he does and it could easily happen. This isn't at all stealing in Lou's mind with very little chance he could lose. John also has repeatedly said he thinks he (John) is the better player and will win and is confident in that. They claim similar straight pool high runs etc. Nobody thinks they are stealing in this match up, or at least Lou doesn't and I don't think John does but who knows for sure what is in his mind. He isn't always the most rational IMO (which I think he would admit and is not a dig).

No Lou's not stealing but his knowledge of the game and his mental makeup make him the favorite IMHO ,
Lou is obviously feeling pretty good about his game right now or he would not have come back with a counter offer , I think that's the best JB is going to get out of Lou I can't see him giving JB anything more than a chance to get even and why would he he's holding the cards

I made the most concessions last time.
