Isn't there a fair race calculator online somewhere based on Fargo ratings? Please post a link if possible. I'm trying to figure out what the even race would be for the following matches: 638 vs 541 638 vs 597 638 vs 647 638 vs 663 638 vs 732 638 vs 743

I think we've all had this happen to us at point or another. I figure it's just a bad roll based on poor contact (skid) or some imperfections/dirt on the cloth, cushion, or balls.

Every rule set is a little different, but in pretty much all rule sets, if you accidently move a ball while you have BIH, it's a foul.

There's no curve involved. CIT (cut induced throw) is just a result of friction. Think of friction like glue. Imagine you took the cue ball and object ball and completely covered them in the strongest glue you could find. Now play an extremely slow shot. When the balls impact with each...

I've experimented with this a lot and you should really try to release all tension in your bridge hand. Actually try not to hold any tension anywhere in your body. I know it's practically impossible but the less tension you have the more relaxed you will be and the easier the game becomes.

This post is absolutely ridiculous. The big takeaway is that you've been delusional for your whole life and now fargo's statistics are debunking all of your absurd delusions. Of course 90%+ of all players in an open tourney are dead money. Of course a ball pocket expert is huge favorite over...

It's definitely the pocket angles. Brunswicks are generally 50+ year old commercial tables which have taken a lot of abuse. Over time, the subrail wood behind the pocket facings starts to deteriorate which creates a wider pocket angle. The wider pocket angle rebounds the object ball into the...

This is no different than a father offering his son $10 for each home run he hits in little league. There is no gambling involved. It's just an extra prize or incentive to succeed. Parents make these kinds of offers all of the time with the promise of ice cream, a new video game, or whatever...

It would be interesting to see a calculated Fargo Rating based on Mosconi Cup performance only. Mike Page should do this calculation for all players with a significant Mosconi Cup history. This would offer some valuable perspective for guys like SVB whose Fargo is super high but he plays much...

No similarity...Isn’t that odd? Your post above referenced pool players as “outside contractors”, yet when I break it down in contractor terms, the reference no longer applies lol As for Filler, I agree that it seems pretty far-fetched to think he was scheming like a cartoon villain from day...

Picture this: you’re a leading construction contractor with a massive casino development project out for bid. The casino owner, who has a long history in the industry, has been causing significant issues for contractors recently. You decide to publicly support a boycott of the project and pledge...

Hey Stu, I think we can all agree that the players are caught in the middle of the conflict between WPA and Matchroom, and they definitely have tough choices to make. However, I want to clarify that no one pressured Filler into boycotting the WPA; he made that decision willingly. He could have...

I played there on my last trip. It's a pretty cool experience. Once they see that you're a foreigner they will be all over you trying to make a game. I think I bet 500 pesos ($10) for a race to 3 in 10-ball. Plus you have to pay the racker 50 pesos ($1). But there was no table time fee in...

Changes always happen in every sport. That's just part of life. There will always be the question of how players from the past would perform today with all of the changes. Golfers are no longer using hickory shafts. Golf balls have changed many times over the years. Pool table pockets...
