SVB vs Chang Update Thread

[Black-Balled]

So this would let all betters out of there bets right? I'd be pissed if I was betting on someone and then the match was changed at the end

Depends on which side your on, dontcha think?

Chang was feeling the heat, big time. What are the chances he was going to be able to regroup after Shane tied it up at 115? Now he's got new life. Kinda' strange for so much K.

I wonder why people would even think to bet on a match like this.

I would be leery. I wonder if there is guaranteed money? Can't imagine letting him off the ropes unless I knew I was guaranteed money either way....

If I was betting horses and in the last 100 yds they stopped and restarted, I'd want out and wouldn't be betting any more on that horse

Shane should have kept going, he had all the momentum.

And if you bet someone on this and took 6 games...wouldya expect to collect @ 115-115?

Maybe they realized the betting line was Shane -8.5 so they had to extend the race.

If someone got 6 then yeah it's over. 121-115 is how I see it

What in the world? SVB grinds him down and seemingly breaks him right at the finish line, and then "gives" him 40 more games to re compose himself? Wow. SVB is a smart dude when it comes to matching up, but seems like he just gave away a monster advantage right there...

Unless they agreed to chop and are playing for the extra ppv this will generate. Also, anything can happen in a race to 5 and I'm sure the amount of focus that it took for Shane to bear down like that is immense. He may have been on fumes...

They should've just played race to 30 from the start.

 

[Jaden]

At one point Shane was showing as a greater than 90% dog...

Whatever happens from here, this match should probably be viewed as a draw. Both horses pulling up shows that the race was just too long. This match was a made for stream mirage. No doubt, we're about to hear that pool has never been played at a higher level in the history of mankind.

Maybe for the players. But it looks like the side bettors got burned here and many will be unhappy no matter which "player" wins.

WWE big time wrestling comes to mind while reading about this match

UPDATE!!! From Omega
Both players have agreed to play a race to 40 tomorrow for all the cash and possibly more at 4pm CST
JUST GOT TIED UP AT 115-115

Just awesome.
What time do they start?

 

[loggerhead12]

What time do they start?

And how much more will Omega want to watch it?

 

[westcoast]

I'm surprised Shane agreed to play up to 40 today. He had all the momentum it seems- one would think he would have liked to close it out to 120 last night

As with any sports betting, the event promoters do not have obligation to bettors even though bettors may think they do. Bettors bet at their own risk.

Pool like any sports is entertainment. Do not take it too seriously

The promoters may not have an obligation to the bettors, per say, but there is still an obligation to provide that which they are advertising.

What exactly did the PPV viewers just watch? A big money match, that was advertised for $40,000? An exhibition? Or something else?
