    2022 World Snooker Championship (Apr 16th - May 2nd)

    I am going to do the same out of principle. I bought DAZN for a year for $100, which is a great deal.

    2022 World Snooker Championship (Apr 16th - May 2nd)

    Zhao is a great bet. He has started off well, which based off of how his season has been going is ominous for the rest of the field. Meanwhile, my dark horse bet Jamie Jones is getting smashed by Selby, so what do I know?

    2022 World Snooker Championship (Apr 16th - May 2nd)

    Tough draw for Ronnie, but he should make it through if he can continue his recent form. Trump and Selby are unlikely to do much. Although Trump has had tournament success recently, he has not been playing well at all. Robertson and Ronnie are both on playing very well and will be tough to beat...

    WORLD POOL (nineball) CHAMPIONSHIP (6-10 April2022), UK, Winner $60K

    That was brilliant by Shane. Amazing comeback and mental strength to hold it together despite the distractions. Cheering Shane on now, as it would be a travesty if he didn't win a world title.

    RIP Fujiwhopper

    Sad news. The few times I met him in Vegas he was a real gent and a truly excellent player.

    Fargo Ratings on Player Profiles

    I have seen some posts recently about Fargo rate not being accurate or not a true guide of a player's level, so I was wondering what the general consensus is of Fargo. Is it good or bad? Personally, I was not initially a fan of using it to determine eligibility for tournaments, however now that...

    Personal record achieved 9 ball

    That's awesome! One of the things I love about pool is that it has the ability to have you smiling for days when you do something you are proud of. Enjoy, you should quite rightly be very proud of your achievement!

    I thought Thorpe was on a ban?

    I was told that he refused a drug test and told the tester to go do one, so weed is just speculation. I also realize that by saying "I heard", that is also speculation......

    How much longer must we endure this insane format CSI is pushing

    Thats what I thought. I doubt whether betting on the Pro Billiard Series is a thing in the UK, so I am not sure why the format would be put in place for betting purposes or how that could possible benefit CSI. I could be missing something though. For reference sake, I am English, but live in...

    How much longer must we endure this insane format CSI is pushing

    I didn't think any legal bookmaker in the US was taking bets on pool? it would be great if that had now changed.

    How much longer must we endure this insane format CSI is pushing

    As someone who views at home. I don’t love the format, I prefer longer races and a battle utilizing a multitude of skill sets to decide a match, not just the ability to make a tricky spot shot. That all being said, I think it is a great format for CSI to achieve their goals. Their goal is...

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    Thank you. This is going to be about as good a data set as I am going to get. I appreciate it.

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    Sorry, I meant attendees/participants to the entire event vs past years, not just the Pro Billiard Series. I am just curious to see the attendance trends. The event has gone through a number of major changes through the years and I hear reasons for playing at the Rio, the switch to Fargo, for...

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    Wow $50+ per night? That's nuts. The resort fee's can really catch you out if you are not expecting it to be added to your bill when you get there.

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    This is true. The one plus I have noticed in recent years, is that the hotel resort fees have been dramatically reduced at most Vegas hotels, which is huge. It was up to $38 a night at a lot of the hotels, which was daylight robbery.

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    Ah mostly before my time going there, but I can imagine it was a lot more affordable before it became more of a family entertainment destination.

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    Attendance appears to be lower in recent years (even pre covid), however that could also be an optical illusion as the divisions are more granular and the location is a little roomier than the Riviera (I miss the Riv though). Cocobolo, I think you could also add the change in location, time of...

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    Hello, I used to play the CSI event in Vegas every year at the Riviera and then Rio. I seem to remember when I first attended in 2007 that the total participant numbers seemed to be around 20k people across all of the events. I am just curious as to whether there are total participant numbers...

    ive sub to matchroomlive but cant see TABLE-1? what am I missing.

    DAZN has exclusive rights in the US for the main table. Matchroom Live works for many events, however if you are in the US the majority of events will be exclusive to DAZN. Personally, I think that $20 a month is a pretty decent deal to watch the multitude of events being produced by Matchroom...
