When was the last time you heard of two players gambling with each other for big bucks? They may have played while someone else gambled on them but but it's the stakehorse's money at risk. No different that the NFL puttong on a show every weekend for the gamblers and bookies.

But for how much that's the question? Also people keep asking about insurance so I guess it's perfectly ok to have to pay the shipper not to lose, break or steal your merchandise? I would think that would be one of their priorities.

Maybe this will clarify things just a little

The floor system will carry the load of a pool table but you will likely have some movement as you move around the table and play. A residential floor system is required to carry a 40 pound live load which is everything not part of the building with an exception for sleeping rooms which can be...

Offer to raise the bet and see if he's willing to adjust. One pocket is a hustler's game so it can be managed by those who play well. I once saw a guy lose 15 games in a row 8-7 or 8-6 and never realize he was being carried so it was to close to adjust

To me what stands out here is that you say you were ready but apparently you thought the wrap upgrade was too expensive. Are you knowledgeable enough to determine what his material costs and any extra labor is worth to make the upgrade? The way I see it you have three choices 1) Accept the...

Here you go Glen, get you a set of these cuff links for your shirt and you can shut these people up.

You want to stay away from cowhide, shark and elephant ear as they are dense hard leathers. You might try kid or my favorite pigskin. Pigskin is a nice soft absorbent leather

Glen, I don't think a lot of people have any idea how flexible the slate on a table is. I know you do and I'm sure you use this flexibility to adjust it to be a good flat and level playing surface. I think a lot of these people think if you get the frame and slate level it will be flat too and...

Back when I went dives and played I generally carried a nice sneaky pete but now I just play in decent rooms I play with some really nice cues. That's what a cue is meant for.

Pool tables are green everything else is a game table

Yes Chan was a lost talent who went way too young

And a couple of jackets from over they years

Some mugs from the Miller Lite World Series of Tavern Pool

Being old I have quite a few souvenirs laying around. Here are a few

This is what makes straight pool a difficult game, it's tremendously difficult to maintain your focus and intensity while shooting one simple shot after another for rack after rack. You relax just a little and you're out of line for the run.

The correct dimension of the playing surface of a regulation 9 foot table is 50" x 100". Anything outside this would be under the rail.

R J Reynolds did not pull because they weren't getting enough bang for their buck. They pulled out because the federal government passed a law stating tobacco could no longer sponsor any sporting events. It was the same thing that killed th Winston Cup racing series. The part about Don Mackey...

It's funny to me that for the last 60 years that 526 was absolutely amazing and an almost unbreakable record, but now that someone (John Schmidt) has broken it's just a minor thing and anyone can do it. All records are for breaking but if it was easy it would have been broken a long time ago

eah I have just about worn these out playing 9-ball
