There is plenty of reasons for the downward slide in pool since the 1960's, but to me the biggest F/U was the dumping by Buddy and crew that stopped all casino betting on pool before it got started. That could have been good for pool. Johnnyt
Pool players have to rack balls most of the time. If someone is going to rack for you, you must OK that with who you're playing, BEFORE the match starts. Seems a bit fishy to me. Johnnyt
