Nice post Jay, Matchroom deserves all the praises and gratitudes for their work. They are pure class and professionalism.

21-8 Borana wins

Joey, Raj is a talented player with lot's of confidence and self-esteem. He's also funny and colorful character, definitely good for the audience and pool overall. But to get some facts straight, the event he won couple of weeks ago, was a handicap tournament in central Sweden (up north...

Right. _____

Word 'greediness' comes to mind easily, but I'd say also that the easiness of the sting. Easy Money. "Why not?" If someone would've offered him 1M to lose the final of WC or if someone would've asked him to lose a match to a much lesser player in TV for 300k, it might've been more difficult...

I'd say there is a difference, just like there is a difference if you steel 5 bucks or 500 000 bucks. But when I say this, I don't mean stealing 5 bucks is ok. It's still stealing, so it's not ok. And what makes this Higgins thing worse is not the fact that he's rich, but the fact that he was...

Me too. Unfortunately though, I cannot be 100% sure he wouldn't do it nowadays.

I'd say that the amount of harm done, is still dozens if not hundreds of times bigger, what this incident will do to Snooker and also other Billiard sports, than the 1991 case, which for example I hear now for the first time, even though played already internationally then. I'd still agree...

I didn't understand where you're getting at? John says it with a humorous way, but with certain interest/alertness, and probably the best answer is to say humorously, "yes, look into it", than say smt like; "no there isn't, don't worry", as it could sound more suspicious than the humor answer...

Thanks again, Jay. I wrote a short comment in between the quote with red: Interesting examples of Ronnie's kicking, would've loved to see him play as his style really sounds creative. Hey, I checked 1-P HOF, but couldn't associate "Clem" with anyone. Who are you referring to? Also, unless...

Naturally there would've been ring of guys betting. You know, 22 guys around Europe (or world), and everyone bets 10k-30k for that particular frame. Easy double up minus 75k times four. Net 1M. Organized crime. And yes, they gamble a lot, as it's all the time on tv and a sport which attracts...

NOTW said they got a hint that Mooney is doing smt like this. Ukraine, bcos they were planning a tour in eastern europe..

It's a pity (if) they don't have any footage from the previous meetings with the manager, as then it'd take the last small excuse of being surprised and spooked away from them. Not that many believes them anyway though..

or 400+k ;)

Just my thoughts and statements. Also, it was not done in an alley but in a luxurious hotel room, so if he'd be thinking they're white collar mafiosos and fearing for his life, then how could he later on sleep with his family knowing he has just deceived them... Poor guy.

Of course their opinions matters. I only wanted to tell my opinion about 14.1. - which had changed after I learned something about the game. I still don't practice it almost at all, but maybe I should, cos I believe it would improve my over all game. I also feel it's boring, but I've also "seen...

I'm quite experienced player and would definitely say that running 79 equals running 4-5 pack. The difference of course is made how the table is racking/breaking, and if you're a specialist in either and haven't played the other (almost) at all. So for example for Mosconi, running 79 must be...

Yeah, that's epic. One of the most interesting pool-clips/matches I've ever seen.

Whoa, Suprnva, you just stated something which either is a blatant lie, or you just haven't seen the old guy ever play 9-ball. I know many players who have strung 4-5 packs in 9-ball but never run 79 in 14.1.

Suprnva, if 14.1. would be easier than rotation games, then I suppose 14.1. specialist should be underdog when he'd play rotation specialist in a match which would consist both, 14.1. and for example 9-ball. Europe is full of 14.1. specialist and USA full of 9/10-ball specialist. If we could...
