Happens to us all! Funny how we can be thinking one thing and typing another. I sometimes fire off a and I in the wrong place. The only thing they have in common is that they are one letter words. Nowhere close to each other on the keyboard. It is a typo of the mind rather than the fingers!

Thank you! I am rooting for Shane but Buff's is home turf for Tony. Tony is a little better rested too I believe.

I think Tony wins this one. I hope I am wrong! I don't think anybody double dips Filler today.

it would seem that filler has an enormous advantage being more well rested

as they say in deutschland

‘our feet are the same!’

If you are known for not paying jelly, players will make deals with each other, compromising your chances. Never mind the ethics, this is how it has always been.

you do mind the ethics as you don't bet on players that dump unless you are a fool or in on it..

and you never buy the whole calcutta anyway. you want the player in so he isnt likely to dump you.

you dont have that much the best of it in the first place in calcuttas most times. and to then give up a piece of your total action as a free roll to a player easily might turn your equity in the bet negative.

of course people that dont bet or bet small, think oh if i won big i would give that guy or someone a bunch of money. but who has given them a bunch ever.

if you want give out whatever you feel is best for you and him. i have no problem with that.
 
oh and which one of the three left would dump the match because he wasnt getting a jellyroll of his calcutta prize.

maybe filler will and ask to dump to one of the other two if he wasnt getting a jelly roll from someone in the calcutta.
or which one of the others.

You have a point. Then again, it can perk up a player quite a bit in these long and late night matches to know he is playing for much more than the advertised purse.

There were two wealthy farmers. Not much happening in their small community and they both liked action. They would meet up on a Saturday at the pool hall and select a match-up they were both willing to bet on and bet big. The players might be playing fifty dollars a set while the farmers were betting twenty thousand a set. A player caught on to what was happening and went off to the side with the farmer betting on him. "I play a lot better for two thousand a set than I do for fifty dollars a set." The story may or may not be true and it can be looked at from more than one direction.

If I was planning to give the player jelly I would make sure he knew about it early. There have also been stories of promised jellies that either weren't given or were vastly reduced. Is anybody that doesn't have a regular deal with a player going to hand over ten thousand or thereabouts in jelly? I would be standing there to collect before the winner had long to think about it if I were the player.

sounds like that guy was sticking the farmer up. i would walk away right then and there once i knew one of them might do business.

but if you have an agreement of any kind you must abide by it. if you dont you do not have an obligation to pay just because someone wants it or feels he deserves it. he should have made the deal prior to the result. not after asking for something..

why is this so important to you? lol

he'll win at least 40k, adding to his already 100k season (and 300k last year). you always moan about the state of pool but there's more money in pool than ever
 
the point missed was that the winners here wouldnt dump because they were not getting a jelly roll from the calcutta.

as said before players would now dump you if you dont give them free money. and that is b.s.

maybe in little tournaments with local idiots but there you dont participate if smart.

you tip or give a jellyroll to someone that did something individually- just for you-.

not just because they did something for themselves that also made you money from your risk.
