    Ko Pin Yi sponsored by Ferrari?

    Yes, pool players are obviously Ferrari's target demographic. What are the chances he even had a licensed shirt on? I mean 1/2 my friends get their NFL jersey's from China...knockoff's obviously. Pretty shady place over there. I'd recommend you don't buy your Ferrari apparel from a Chinese...

    Idea for a competition format

    This is why after playing pool on and off for years, now at age 63 I've discovered......snooker. The game itself is so much better honestly. A completely better test of skill. I don't see how anybody can seriously dispute this. I'm pretty sure that most of the best European pool players just...

    "Warning" Doing business with Scott Erwin

    But first show the following to the State Police.....taken from Paypal terms "Gift - Select this payment type when you’re sending money as a gift for a birthday or other special occasion." This issue seems to be so common in threads..

    Ron de ruda...beware

    Since I'm assuming you didn't ship anything, you should just file non-payment with Ebay to get your fees back....if it's not too late. I've sold tons on ebay and have filed for non-payment 100's of times, but it's still a tiny percentage of my sales. Not that unusual. You may have waited too...

    How about get yourself a job

    I'm somehow suspicious that this "simpleton" reports more taxable income than every American pool player with maybe 2 or 3 exceptions...and wouldn't even bet it's that high His point is valid IMO. Oh yea forgot. I'd expect that the OP has about the same education level as the average...

    How about get yourself a job

    I actually agree with you. I'd be much more inclined to "back" a player who had a real job. Was paying his own bills, but things are really tight after everyday living expenses and would like to take a flyer at a tournament. That's actually what I was wondering about in the recent thread asking...

    The Average Salary of a Professional Pool Player

    Less entry fees...I'm guessing he cleared $999, but before paying for motels. Am I far off? BTW, don't take up Pro Archery either and then wonder why you can't make money like golfers

    Four Contributors To The Death Of Pool

    Thanks for caring but I grew up on 9' Gold Crowns in a Brunswick bowling alley. Pool hall absolutely can't pay the bills just charging table time....unless they are really on the wrong side of town. The world has changed...the so called dedicated pool rooms in my home town closed 35 years...

    Four Contributors To The Death Of Pool

    Good luck to you going to your school board meeting and proposing pool tables in your schools. Let us know how it turns out. Pool is a game almost exclusively played by adults......in wait for it.....establishments where alcohol is served. BTW I don't even believe pool is dead which is what...

    Four Contributors To The Death Of Pool

    I just can't believe people posting that pool should be in schools? Are you kidding me? Have we completely given up on getting American's into shape. Maybe darts, pool, and shuffleboard should be the new scholastic triathlon?

    Four Contributors To The Death Of Pool

    They did have a pool table in my school in the 70's It was for obese kids that simply couldn't participate in anything resembling a strenuous activity during gym class

    Four Contributors To The Death Of Pool

    Pool is a sedentary "sport" where if you aren't walking around a table, you are sitting down watching somebody else walk around a table. The younger generation that wants to play something sedentary plays videos...online. Google paid just under a billion dollars to buy Twitch the online gaming...

    paypal as a gift for cue sellers..

    Sorry but in this context I'd question your use of the word "reputable".. Looks more to me that income isn't being reported. If I'm sending my sister money through Paypal I use gift,,,If I'm buying or selling (which I do a LOT) it's a merchandise transaction...period.

    paypal as a gift for cue sellers..

    Yes it is the new way people, meaning cheapskate sellers, try to save money. NEVER do it period. Sellers that do that should stick to neighborhood garage sales if that's how they think that's how business operates

    Few free streams in US

    Pool never had a "tour" in any real sense of the word, and except for a very brief heyday (when ESPN was looking for something cheap to produce...what could be cheaper than putting cameras around a pool table) pool has never drawn a real sporting audience. I'd guess the biggest thing ESPN...
