    Champion prize $150,000USD

    With that kind of money isn't too easy to split. I know if I was in the finals and we worked out a split, I wouldn't make a ball and would try to lose. That way I would only have to pay taxes on 2nd place money and the guy who win has to pay taxes on 151K so I out earn him by a huge amount...

    Oscar Dominguez........What A Great Guy.

    Oscar is one of the best! I have known him for quire a few years and have never heard a bad word about him, I am very glad to call him a friend. I hope TJ wins his fight with cancer. If he is able to make it to Derby this year I would like to pay for his room and ticket to the event. I will...

    Serious question--- how does backing players make sense financially?!?!

    I have staked many different players and overall I am sure that I have made money. Many times I stake players to give them a chance to make a score and will put them in games that I believe are very close. I am smart enough to know this is a bad bet overall but I enjoy the action and would...

    Samuel Clemens,aka Mark Twain

    Looks to me like he is sharking his opponent! Why is he stuffing a cat into a pocket?

    Ronnie Wiseman stiff's me for $3900

    Ronnie still owes me money after he stole it from me, if anyone trusts him they do it at their own peril. Ronnie the Rat is a very appropriate nickname.

    Put Earl Strickland on Team USA in 2017 Mosconi Cup

    I would LOVE to back the top five US players against Earl, do you know anyone that would stake him? You can pick, 10 Ball, 9 Ball, 8 Ball, or 1 Pocket.

    I prefer to play people that are being staked

    I have found the easiest sets to win are when you are playing someone being staked or your are staking someone and you are up one or more sets and only have time for one more set. The person being staked has no chance of leaving with any money and doesn't put much effort into the last set...

    Corey Puts a 9 pk

    Maybe the difference is you don't play as good as you think you do. Amateurs certainly have a better chance to run out on a bar table. We are talking about top Pro's having more difficulty running out between the two tables. It has been proven from statistics that there is very little...

    Corey Puts a 9 pk

    If you look at this information it looks like it is about the same with pro players. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showpost.php?p=5255675&postcount=3 For top players who are great shot makers like Jayson Shaw, I would be willing to bet he will run out eight ball, shoot what you make more...

    Which is a better spot

    I will rack and I will bet a lot that you won't make a call ball two or more times in a race to nine set. Two games on the wire in a race to nine is less of a spot than the call eight on a tight nine foot table for a C player. If you play better than C speed or the table is easy I would...

    Which is a better spot

    Four games on the wire is a lot more of a spot on a bar table to a good player than the 7. Think about it he would have to beat you 10 to 5 to win! He has to win 2 to 1, do you really think getting the seven will win you more than four games in a race to ten set? How many times do you get to...

    SBE "Amateur" event

    For all of you guys that want to play SVB just ask him to play a short race for a hundred bucks and if he isn't doing anything he will play. After he sees your speed he will probably even give you a fair spot and play again. I have taken him to different pool halls and virtually no one wants...
