if it happens (it won't because Niels knows he can't get there) you can load the wagons on Niels if you want.

lol, it doesn't matter what the game is. This is just a statistical model that illustrates variance as it relates to race length and single and double elimination tourneys. You could play tiddly winks and the better player is is going to win the more you play. It's takes a special kind of stupid...

lol, not a lot of people looking to lose $10,000+ backing Niels.

Nice job. This illustrates exactly what I've been saying on here for the last 3 years but sadly, most of these mental giants can't comprehend variance even if it's laid out on a platter. This is why most of the top pros don't like the short race tourneys because they are a crapshoot at that...

lmao. I could be the best at cutting my own grass if I practiced every day but I prefer to make 6-figures doing other things and let someone else cut it. I'm quite certain Shane is fine with being the top money winner and best player in the world without being on top of a list of players that...

Like Nick the Greek? Oh wait, he got throttled 50-21 at his own room , on his own table, in his own country. It would be the same at any other spot in any other country against any other player. The only question is what would be the right number of games that Shane would need to spot for anyone...

This statement right here shows that you'll never understand the term no matter what juvenile terms I explain it in.

No, tourneys like this are structured for maximum viewing pleasure and not to decide who is the better player. The majority of the players want longer races with winner breaks. It's already been pointed out that a lot were in agreement of this directly after the tourney. It's a crapshoot the way...

They don't have to play a race to 100 since all of you special Ed posters want to make it an endurance issue. They could play a race to 25 each day, best of 7 races, and nobody in the world would get there. So shut the f$&& up, go back to putting those wooden blocks in the correct holes and stop...

Congratulations, you win the prize for most idiotic poster of the year. The only reason Shane hasn't won a so called world title is because of simple variance in short race tourneys. Heard of it?

I don't know about straight pool, I was only answering the OP's question about rotation games. If you had them play a set of 9 ball, a set of 10 ball, a set of 8-ball, a set of one pocket, a set of banks, and a set of straight pool, Shane would come out on top for sure.

Great posts JB. It's too bad that the short bus folks on here can't comprehend the variance aspect of short race tourney pool. Corey agreed it was a crapshoot via a lengthy discussion on Facebook and was calling for a revamp to the old format of longer races and that was the overwhelming...

Congrats to Niels. Well deserved tourney win. Shane would destroy him in a lengthy 9 or 10 ball match though, race to 100 or best of 7, races to 25. Everyone knows this.

lmao, yeah that's real good currency. I'd have to take the rest of the year off and give back $50,000 to make as much as the winner did.

lmfao, when will anybody in here shut the f@#$ up for a second and listen. It's not the travel, it's not the foreign soil, and it's not because he choked. The simple reason Shane hasn't won one of the handful of these he's played in is because of the variance in these goddamn tourneys. Once...

I've been saying the same thing as CJ for the last 2 years, where are all of the idiot Shane haters getting all over his ass? The plain and simple fact is that short races and alternate break levels the playing field making a tourney like this essentially a crap shoot at this level. Add that to...

So then you're saying that Nick Varner shouldn't be credited with a world championship even though he won THE WPA world 9-ball championship? How can you have 2 world champions in the same year? Lol

lol, this is pretty funny

lmfao, so still no comment about his "given" world 9-ball title? I'd rather you just sit quietly if you aren't going to comment about it. By the way, you obviously have no idea who I am if you're calling me a kid.

just pointing out that the Shane haters will openly discuss why his 2007 Predator World 10-ball championship shouldn't be considered a world title, yet Efren didn't win the '99 WPA world 9-ball championship and he was given a world title for winning a different matchroom even in the same year...
