    Schmidt video release November

    Exactly. There's expenses and shipping, sure, but still, I'd pay $50. There should be more than 200 other people who would. Or, go the other route: offer it for so cheap, and make it so convenient, that piracy doesn't even seem worth the bother. Louis CK did that with one of his comedy...

    Schmidt video release November

    Yeah I was curious about that myself. A custom gold crown with forgiving pockets? Nope, he played on a public pool room table. Airfare to Arizona? Even at first class rates with +1 it's not that expensive. Is he counting 10k worth of entry fees and gambling over the decades?

    Schmidt video release November

    Yup, that's the gist of it. Accu-stats has a big catalog of stuff on Vimeo. Including, say, the 2016 US Open. The videos are great quality. But years later, you can't find it on any torrent tracker, or youtube. Why? Because nobody cares enough to bother, even at the low price of $5 per match...

    Schmidt video release November

    To clear up a common misconception, Youtube is almost certainly not gonna pay him what he's looking for. The YT pay algorithm is complicated but if you're lucky, you can get $2000-$3000 per million views. So John would need 3-5 mil. views to even get near his target. Recent source...

    Schmidt video release November

    I've chatted with him a little bit in the thread and via PM. Yes, he's concerned with piracy, he figures as soon as one copy is out, it's effectively all over the internet. I think he underestimates how many people will pay for it out of honesty, laziness, or because the amount of money is too...

    OB Cues shutting down?

    Thank you! Think you've got a good point. If MG is reading this thread, hope he notices your post. I've used the pro, OB-2, and classic pro before, and that was fairly straightforward. But when I look at the OB website today, it's completely bewildering. One thing Predator gets right is...

    Orcollo vs SVB confirmed

    Yeah I was referring to generic 9b breaking as we scrubs do it =) Modern 9 ball solves the 95% problem pretty well with one on the spot/3 point rules. It actually seems to end up tougher than 10b, because with 10b you can park the 1 near a pocket frequently, and control the CB. Whereas the...

    Orcollo vs SVB confirmed

    lol yeah, sorry to Andrew. He still dogs balls occasionally, even if he breaks good :) (and I say that as someone who dogs balls and breaks kinda badly) I have not tried making a gap behind the 2nd row. I guess I'll give it a try, but seems like a sure thing that the balls will come in lower...

    10-ball rack rigging Revisiting this thread... a few posts back, I was saying 10b with template doesn't need to be gapped, and someone said that sometimes, you don't know what you don't know. That's a fair point, so I decided to really test it properly. Not just by myself, but with 2 guys who...

    Orcollo vs SVB confirmed

    If the implication here is that Shane is good at getting the balls to freeze up, then the difference between him and Dennis isn't really relevant, it's trivial to get the balls to freeze up with a template. If the implication is that Shane is good at deliberately gapping the rack to his...

    "The Social Pool Network" and the return of a predator?

    Sure, doesn't sound like MLM at all, that's why they need dense jargon to describe the commission structure. That's why they push recruitment hard, and claim you can make enough money to quit your day job: https://i.imgur.com/oKNMNab.png I guess some people still think "well MLM is different...

    The best close up I’ve seen on the Jonny svb shirt incident of 2019

    I made a gif that shows the movement about as well as it can be seen on the video: https://i.imgur.com/RjJ7GKO.gifv At first it seems like zero movement but if you look at the bottom right of the ball it seems like... Something? The number? Rotates a little. Or it could just be a video glitch...

    China Open - US Representation

    For some reason nobody on here seems to care about 2nd place, even though it's perfectly logical to see making the finals of a world championship as a GREAT performance. Think that's also why we see people overly skeptical of fargo ratings. If someone beats a world 9b champion they deserve a...

    Fargorate: Winner rewarded or loser punished

    Don't think of Fargo as a single number that says "this is exactly how good this player shoots, every single hour of every single day". Think of it as the middle number in a range - A fargo 650 may have a dozen tournaments where he shoots like a 600, and another dozen where he shoots like a...

    Turning Stone - Archer Forfeit vs SVB?

    I'm a little confused on the rules... so it's cue ball fouls only while setting up on the shot, but then it's all-ball-fouls during the actual stoke? That seems weird to me, do other tournaments handle things this way? It's definitely gonna cause confusion and I don't blame Johnny for being...
