Ideas that haven't saved pool

How is that actually, aren't there some kind of copyright? Who owns the rights.

Copyright is complicated subject, it has a lot to do with how an image is used. Editorial, or advertising are two are where you can ask for payment.

Today people take images with phone, give to media in hopes of seeing their image on tv or newspaper.

Yesars ago an active stringer, or freelancer could make good money from those images.

because they were in need, today media is flooded with free iPhone or Brand x phone images.
 
Here's the problem, only one table is used to record on, and not all matches are saved afterwards, and they're still free to watch on YouTube, so who's going to turn around and start showing old matches on a paid streaming platform for free....oh, wait a minute, what about having to pay image rights to the players now....no chance of happening!!
Obviously those players got paid and signed away their rights to Matchroom. How Much latitude Matchroom has with that footage I do not know. But those players would get a huge amount of exposure to a new audience that they would never get on YouTube.
Not sure what you mean about all the tables aren’t featured, matches for Mosconi only occur on one table.
If Matchroom moved their content, or at least let’s say the 2018 Mosconi Cup, to Netflix, they would pull all their matches down off of YouTube.

Netflix don't want anything to do with live sports, no matter how good you think it would be.

You don't simply move anything to Netflix, sorry. And Matchroom is a promoter, they ain't doing anything that don't put money in their pockets first, why would they? Are you even aware of the fact that they have streaming contacts with 14 different live streaming platforms around the world? They just signed an 8 year contract with DAZN for $92 million a year to provide them with content to sell THEIR subscribers, all pool related events included....yet they don't sponsor pool for shit!!
 
Lol. He's gonna use the internet to sell gambling coupons.
Anyone who thinks gambling can help sponsor pool has no idea what they're talking about. When 2 of the biggest pool tournaments in the world are held in casino's, being DCC and the US Open 9B event, and you can't bet on a single match, IN A CASINO, that should tell you something!

Netflix would produce an animated or live action series with a minor pool/room owner focus.

Think the show "Cheers" but for a global market as an adult show.

Think like an animated series that is really a show to advertise pool products, bar products, and billiards events.
Most animated series are just pro longed toy ads.

Are you familiar with how ratings work? Are you aware that Netflix will cancel a show, even if it has several million followers, if those followers don't balance with the cost of streaming and production?
 
yep... that the casion hasn't figured out a way to come out ahead on the wagers.
Wrong, with paramutual wagering, the casino can't lose a dime, and they get a take of everything bet, but it has to be legalized by the state first, and that hasn't been done in ANY state yet.

I'm guessing due to a lack of lobbying for such a change...? Most likely due to a lack of interest by those that may stand to make a buck...?

If gambling on pool was going to be lucrative for casinos then this would have happened by now.

Nope, the reason is, 1) not enough events held, 2) if you want to bet in Vegas, you must be inside the state line in order to place a bet, 3) pool hasn't been recognized as a paramutual wagering sport because it hasn't been brought up to the gambling commission for approval, because of lack of events, making it not worthwhile. 4) almost every state has laws against betting across state lines on the internet. Betting across state lines in Washington state, is a class C Felony, as with many other states.

I already have this problem worked out and I'm working on that solution.

SD left some back doors open when they legalized their internet wagering, and my team is walking through those back doors right now.

Online gambling is legal in South Dakota, providing you play at our offshore online gambling websites that accept residents of the state. You are not allowed to start or operate your own gambling business in the state of South Dakota because it is punishable by law.Jan 4, 2021
 
This subject coms up time, and time again. I see nothing happening until Pool decide to be like other sports.

Find successful business model, follow it, change course. Could turn around Pool.

Pool suffers from many of the problems of other failing businesses. Never changed with times, never promoted, never advertised, just folded around ocean like ship with broken rudder. Going no where.
 
Many years ago, Jean balukus was dominating the Womens Tour. She attempted to play in a Mens Tour Stop and was prevented from doing so by the guys. Well, very few women have tried since and now no Men's Tour exists. Pool is one of the few games where women have a legimate opportunity to compete. At DCC some women do sign up and play. I have seen Karen Corr, Jeanette Lee and Allison Fischer playing and good for them but I still think Jean would have really excited pool back then especially if she could get into the finals. She was prevented from playing because she had game and might have finished pretty high.

I thought regular odds were worked out (over time) on essentially the same basis though, driven by offsetting the bets on all sides.
And fargo ratings would give you a very good statistical basis to start from, even if you didn't do any more analysis.

Perhaps they're worried about being cleaned out by players dumping.
