Well, in my defense, my process boils down to: open a new tab, type numbers into 3 blanks. It only looks complicated because I wrote 3 pages for a 20 second process. I think it's actually slower to do it all within fargo because you gotta trial-and-error repeatedly to come up with that rating...

Would like to see you come out more and play, Wall-eye~! Fargo has us even, which I know is wrong, so either I can become a state champ, or you need to get some fresh tournament matches into the system so you can get that score up to a 650 or whatever. We do Breakers on Thursdays, or First...

If anyone is still confused on how to work out the math for multiple sets, here's an example. Let's say Donny Mills and Siming Chen are gonna play another match, but this time it's race to 50 per set, and first to win 3 sets. Let's say you wanna figure out Donny's chances (you can pick...

I think John has the skills to run as many balls as he wants, until his arm falls off. The biggest obstacle, besides the usual need for constant focus, will be ducking all the potential bad luck/bad rolls. A break shot with only a 3% risk of distaster is still unlikely for just 10 racks...

Cheers... yes, it was a GREAT set to watch. I was able to be there live and the atmosphere was sort of tense, but in a good-natured way. The crowd maybe leaned a bit towards Siming but all good shots brought applause. For anyone who missed it, Roy has put up a day 1 replay on his facebook...

Wonder what changed that allowed Shaw to miss only half(ish) as many balls on day 2. Or maybe a better way of saying it is, what made him miss twice as often on day 1.

I try not to overthink these, but specific shots I will be very aware of them. This stuck-on-the-rail shot comes up all the time and I feel like I have to aim to slightly overcut it, to account for collision-induced throw. This thick-hit back cut feels like I have to overcut by half a...

It'd be interesting to see that hypothetical SVB vs. Siming match. She's supposed to lose by ~21 racks anyway based strictly on their respective ratings. She wouldn't lose by 50 but 35 could easily happen if she isn't at 100%. I think her odds would actually be better without magic rack...

If you don't have to worry about the 3-point rule, I have found a pretty reliable strategy that will get you the 1 in the side. Unfortunately that means you don't know what your next shot will look like. Also, making the ball is easier if you don't hit with any spin, but then your cue ball...

I'm not sure I've ever seen the one of alex sharking svb for fun. The other one... are you sure it's alex trying a no-look? And not his famous dogged ball where he was hill-hill, shooting close to the rail, and just yeets the 9 ball completely? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6usJmG7PKU

I can't imagine getting out 50% of the time, after making a ball. I mean I can imagine it, but it's still mindblowing. I feel like 50% of the time I can't even see the one ball. It's like, if shaw sees it at all, you can write off that rack.

I got to see day 1, but not day 2 when Shaw stopped screwing around. Good match, though at times they seemed too casual and there were some very easy shots missed. I wanted to say, I was also fooled by the poster. It clearly is trying to imply they are playing for $20,000. That single word...

I think he's Grai Rasmechai on Facebook. I wasn't able to see his post though. I heard them go back and forth. It boiled down to, neither side remembered to stipulate, and one guy says "well if you don't stipulate then it's a win, cuz that's what's normal when people gamble at 10 ball"...

I wish I'd caught it on camera but I missed a lot of racks in the 2nd set. But I know just the one he's talking about, I tried to diagram it earlier. It's the bottom shot here: https://i.imgur.com/l5sPX6N.jpg Without going back to the video I can't say just how frozen she was to the end rail...

It's all good :) and yeah, that runout at hill hill was nuts. I mean the bank alone was pretty clutch, but that 3 ball... holy shit. I can't even make that in my basement with 4 tries. I hope she comes back into town again, either to play Donny or someone else. She let wilkie beat her up in...

Nice! I didn't know it, and I thought I'd seen 'em all. Probably haven't even seen half of 'em :)

I do a similar drill, but I plan it all out before the first shot... which rails I wanna hit, which pockets each ball will go into, etc. Then I try to do the run exactly as I imagined it. Doing it this way, I'm not allowed to hit extra rails or play balls into the wrong pocket. I can't do...

Lol OK, OK, yes, I get it. I'm a moron because I mis-remembered the exact position of a single ball after watching 8 hours of pool. MY BAD. You don't have to be a douche about it. In my defense, from my side of the table it was hard to see how thin it was. I did get footage, and going back...

Yup. They were gonna resolve it by asking Donny Mills and Justin Bergman, but neither answered his phone. So her backer did a coin flip. Not an ideal solution, but I think this is a case of "the customer is always right".

This does seem to prove that the casino was willing to keep taking bets after '91. It does not prove that the dump didn't happen, or that Mike LeBron's odds weren't 20:1. Also, do any casinos that host events offer this sort of betting opportunity today? If not, there's got to be a reason...
