Chang breaks and makes 4 balls on the break. He squatted the cb but it got kicked down table. He has an open shot on the 2 and if he makes it should have a natural angle to stun over for the 3.

I don't know if Chang is deliberately slow or he's super nervous but he flubs the long shot on the 2 and leaves Shane an open albeit tough shot on the 2 in the side.

The 2 catches the nipple of the side and goes down table. It's tough to tell if Chang can back cut the two into the corner or not. He can and does coming around for what can only be a 3-10 combo. He should have a natural angle to get on the 3 after making the ten and he does. He spots the ten and runs out 131-146.

Chang breaks and makes 1 ball on the break. The cb bounced up in the air so it didn't transfer as much energy. He has a shot on the one, but the 2 is right next to it and the 6 makes shape on the 2 difficult. He elects to play safe but leaves the 1 sitting in front of the side and I have to believe Shane is the favorite to one rail kick it in with natural shaape on the 2.

He does but he gets awfully straight on the 2, the key shot will be the 3 to the 5, after that it should be smooth sailing.

This was the dangerous shot and Shane showed why, he was jacked up close to the rail and tried to draw back for the 5. He misses the 3 and forces Chang to play safe.

Chang gets it safe behind the 8 and down table with the 3 tucked into a cluster of balls, but mighty mouse pulls out the little cue and plays a jump safe. It may have eeked out and given Chang a look at the 3. if so, shape is threading the needle but natural.

Chang over cuts it and leaves Shane a shot.

Shane overshoots shape on the 5 slightly but I think he's alright. He is, and he recovers nicely with shape on the 6. Shane runs it out to get to 147-131.

Shane breaks and the cb starts to squat but is knocked around a bit and ends up down table. He made 1 ball this time, it wasn't as solid as his previous breaks. He does get an open shot on the 1 though the table is spread fairly wide open.

He overshoots shape on the 3 slightly and is forced to either inside pinch hold for the 4 in the corner or draw between the 6,7 for the 5 in the side. He chooses the latter and then proceeds to come around 3 rails for shap on the 6 in the same side.

Another BNR, 148-131.

All I know is if this holds its a bad deal for a lot of folks. There's no way to not be bitter as fck if you laid some games that ultimately got covered. Everybody has morals that are set up differently though and the truth is good communication squashes everything. Wait for the next action match and watch how people word their bets super carefully from now on. That's the true impact here. Action room has been dying a slow death but rest assured...this will kill it.

Shane breaks and makes.... the cb... It starts as a pop and squat but a few kicks later, it sinks in the drink.

There is some congestion in this rack so Chang is weighting his options even with bih.

He draws two rails to break up the 3,4 that was tied up and has a shot on the 2 but it will take the cb down table away from the 3. He ends up alright and the key shot in this rack now will be the shape from the 3 to the 4 and 4 to the 5. He catches a ball coming out of the corner from the 3 and is partially blocked by the 9.

I think he was trying to break up the 5,9 to make shape on the 5 easier. He jumps in the 4 but has to keep out the jumpicon because the cb hooks behind the 8. He attempts to jump in the 5 and flubs it but makes the 5 difficult for Shane to make without scratching. Shane calls the cross corner bank on the 4 to avoid the scratch and it pops out of the hole off the titty on the way in.

It forces Chang to stretch but shouldn't be an issue.

Chang gets shape on the 6 and makes the 5. The only potential problem is ending up on the wron side of the 7 because the 9 is blocking it partially. He gets perfect on the 7 and runs out to get to 132-148.

It was covered at the original race .
If Shane did not agree to stretch it , there wouldn't be any controversy .
If you got one game on the wire in some match and the two agreed to double up in the next set because they went hill-hill, you already won .

Chang breaks and makes 1 ball on the break. Not as controlled as last time. He does have a shot on the 1 though.He overruns shape on the 2 but should be alright still shooting it in the side.

The only potential problem here is the 4 ball which is on the rail and the best angle and pocket for it is partially blocked by the 6. The 5 is laid up near the corner pocket though, so Chang should only have to worry about cinching the 4.

He does and this should be a no brainer runout from here. He does get out and gets to 133-148.

What happened late last night?
Had to leave with Chang up about 7 games late. Did Shane put a big package together to catch him?

Very very simple method for this not happening. The bet or race rarely changes.
In the first post someone like Terry has a cool poster and it says Joey vs Jeff race to 40 over 2 days race to 20 each day for $10 to take place at Buffalo's.

ANY bet is based upon THAT data. If ANYTHING changes ALL bets are off.
Longer races bet off
Back it and jack it bet off
Play in different city bet off
Play on tighter or looser table bet off
Modify the original bet bet off
You are getting games and those games get you to the 40 over 2 days, you win

IMHO it is simple.

Shane won a bunch of games in a row to tie it up at 115 and it was WAY late and they were tired and they elected to play another 40 today instead of finishing it off.

Chang breaks and gets an unlucky kick on the cb to scratch in the corner. The 1,6,9,4 lay up a little funny by one side pocket and Shane is trying to play a 1,9 combo into the side and get the 1 out in the open, which he does effortlessly.

The shape on the 2 from the 1 will be key to this rack and Shane does so expertly threading the cb between the 8 and 10.

Shane follows off of the 2 for the 3 but comes up a little short and may be forced to play the 4 in the corner instead of the side. He does set up to play it into the corner and gets great shape on the 6 and runs out to get 6 games from the finish line.

149-133.

The advertised race I think is what you mean? I think someone who is actually in on the match or maybe even raise1 should come in here and discuss how all of this happened. That type of clarity would go a very long way. You don't see boxers get in the ring for a 10 round fight and instead of going to the scorecard they stretch it out to 12 rounds. For this to be a promoted ppv event the viewers deserve a little more clarity. That's really all I'm saying.

Shane breaks and makes 3 balls on the break, but fortune is not in his favor and after an unlucky kick to the cb, the 2 comes to rest against the cb and he is forced to pushout.

Change attempts a kick safe but the 1 plays off the 8 and leaves Shane a long shot into the corner. Shane slow rolls the 1 into the corner and comes out to center table kncking the 10 over in front of the 5 which still is able to go into the side pocket. Shane plays 4 rail shape for the 4 in the side, but overshoots his mark a bit. He has to thinly back cut the 4 into the side with inside to kill the cb and hold it to play the 5 in the oppsite side.

He does but he clips the 10 and it's hard to tell if the 10 prevents an open shot on the 7. It doesn't but Shane is forced to play for a cross side bank on the 9 which he cinches with shape and gets 5 games from the finish. 150-133.

He's now showing as a 99.52 favorite to win.
