Will Corr beat Shaw? That would be an awesome thing to see.
I think that it depends on the circumstances.
In a long race to 100 Shane should be the betting favorite against anyone. In a shorter race it gets closer to even. Also conditions and rules used play a part.
I think Shane wins against Ko in a long race in the TAR format.
The 9 BALL WPC was Ko getting the best of the rolls and nothing else.
Vegas was Shane flat out dogging it at the end.
I think to see how the professional bookmakers in England see it we should look at what they had for the SVB/KO finals at the WPC.
As for this match, Karen has proven time and again that she is a top player to be reckoned with. Will she win the US Open? Probably not but she can win the US Open.
She is one great player among a lot of great players. What this result shows is that Karen is fully capable of hanging with the best in the world (many of knew that) but it certainly doesn't mean she is the best in the world obviously.
We can still celebrate this victory just as we would celebrate any "underdog" who manages to take a set off a champion.
As for Ko......all he has to do is find backers willing to put up $20,000+ to play Shane a race to 100 TAR format. Shane's money is always ready to do that against ANY player on the planet no matter who they are.
Surely someone in Taiwan can make that happen?
Using Fargo ratings, here's how it breaks down.
Corr's predicted chance of beating Ko:
One game: 36%
Race to 7: 14%
Race to 11: 9%
Race to 21: 3%
Race to 30: 1%
Race to 50: 0.2%
That's just using a per-game 36% chance and basic probability.
Scotland vs Ireland. Instead of playing each other they should just get together and beat up English Boyes. If there's anything Americans, Scots, and the Irish can agree on, it's that we all hate the English.
Yes he is, even if people don't like it. I don't care who Shane plays, nobody will bet against him without a handicap. And for good reason.
exactly. I just used approx. random odds in those race scenarios, but this explains it perfectly. She has a greater chance the shorter the race, which explains variance in a nutshell.

exactly. It doesn't mean he isn't going to lose every so often, all favorites do, especially in the upper echelon of any sport because the level of play is so close. However, he IS the favorite against anyone right now or over the past 2 years.
AZHousePro, can you clear your pm's so I can respond to you? Thanks
The action room has Shane giving 3 games to "ROBERTO GOMEZ" Can you even imagine RG needing 1 game let alone 3?

can I imagine it? I will give you gomez winning at 10 for 1k.......want some?
I know, lol. A pinoy champion getting 3 games on the wire in a race to 11, lol. And these guys think anyone else is going to be the betting favorite over Shane, smh.
I don't even know what that means?

if gomez wins 10 games you win 1k, if he don't get to 10 I win 1k
The line is 3 why would anyone take 1?
Top 100? No, that would be an insult to Karen. Her skills right now are extremely high. These days she is playing better and mentally tougher than I've ever seen her play and tough enough to beat any player.
I've witnessed it first-hand. She is playing what I would call scary-good pool.

Does anyone know why the Ko brothers can't win in America?
