I'll be short, had my surgery Tuesday. All 'appears' to have gone well! Can't look at screen for long. Later.

There's '2' ways this 'Ticky' can be made. The first has the CB contacting the long rail then, contacts the 2nd ball sort of 'more than half full' on the 'wrong side' of the 2nd ball. This causes a 'Kiss' off that ball back to the 'long rail then short rail' to score the point! The second is...

Very Nice Dave! That 'Tricky' Al!

It's always 'Amazing' to me when I see people that post their 'Uneducated' opinions on Players that Really gambled 'Tough' action at Cue games! If they couldn't correctly 'Handicap/lost a measly Bet' in a match, it's a Dump! Professional 'Cry Babies' is all they are! What's amazing, these...

The 'Lens' had nothing to do with what occurred in my case! In my 'right' eye I've had 24 procedures since 2007. Totally lost the eyesight in the Right since 2019. Bottom line I developed, Glaucoma. On Tuesday, I'm going in for a PK (total) 'Cornea Transplant'!

Real quickly, having cataract surgery on both eyes in 2007 was the Worst decision I've personally made in my Life!

Unfortunately this particular procedure, I'll only be under 'Twilight' sedation!

In the 60's -70's I used to play with Champion. But, I used to cut off the 'Red fiber' backing. I never could understand why a player would want a 'Shock Absorber' between the 'Tendon/shaft' and the tip! I want to be able to 'Feel' the response of the 'Hit' from the tip thru the shaft! This...

Le Pros, I believe are, 'Ground up leather dust mixed with glue'! When you cut them down on a Lathe, it's mostly dust! Real Leather cuts off in 'Ribbons'!

Adam makes 'Water Buffalo' tips. I have a box of 50.

Everyone, I'm going to 'Slow my Roll' here on the book. I have a couple of medical procedures coming up soon. I'll be back at it soon.

I received an unexpected very enjoyable call from a Very good old friend today! He seemed excited about the previewing of this book and gave me His 'Stamp of Approval'! Himself being an accomplished Author! We 'Cut up Jackpots' about the 'Old Days' Hustling, and how it's a 'Lost Art'...

Thanks Jay! It was unusual to say the least!

CHAPTER 19: It’s all about the Numbers The theory of "middles" holds true for sports other than football. In pro football, there are certain key point spread numbers you look for. For example, the numbers 3, 6, 7, 10 because the scoring values in football (three points for a field goal...

I have No idea why this thread is still flowing! I think the consensus so far is, Jimmy was Great Talent/Huge Personality/Fierce Gambler/Knowledgeable Commentator. He has definitely beaten the Top players of His era at one time or another! IMPO, it's Jimmy's 'Longevity' at that High level...

Part 3 At first, I spent hours every day walking in the hot sun between the Las Vegas sports books in order to tabulate all the lines and probe for weaknesses. There was no other way to do it. Back in the 80s you had to be there physically at the sports book, eye-balling the lines on the...

Part 2 The vice president at Caesars Palace even asks me what I would do if I was setting up the sports book. And I said I would make it look like an Arena back in the Gladiators days. And but big screens and lounges and slot machines everywhere then people could watch the games and play slot...

CHAPTER 18: Vegas Bound In 1984, when I arrived in Las Vegas for good, the sports betting business was booming. In the old days the Nevada bookmakers had operated a handful of free-standing betting shops downtown and along the Strip. These were sort of dingy, small-time operations that...

Part 3 The same principles applied to sports betting and pool hustling you developed knowledge and skill enough to know what you were doing. Then you began to look for opponents who not only did not know what they were doing but weren't self-aware enough to understand their own ignorance. In...

Part 2 In the old days there was very little money to be won at sanctioned tournaments. A guy like Willie Mosconi could beat the world and barely make enough to cover his expenses. Now the television people had plenty of money to throw at the top players in head-to-head matchups. It made for...
