You must not have read any of Bentivegna’s books. I’ve been on the other end of a setup (me as the player) having my buddy set me up, possibly a dump (I was the backer in that one), and someone knocking my action (me as a player). None made me madder than the knock.

Remember folks, the absolute worst thing in pool is knocking action, not dumping.

That phone story sounds fishy too. The mom could have simply left it at the door or with his packed belongings she said she dropped off.

I don’t think it’s the elk master pro Tip. That looks like snooker specific only, and the maximum diameter is 11 mm.

Not an elk master. The color is wrong. I'm legit colorblind and can tell. Something doesn't add up. You said you bought a "new" cue. Brand new they come with a Sniper laminated tip, which yours is clearly not.

Sorry, I'm keeping the file private. If you'd like to purchase one, they are only a few bucks, message me. Thanks.

Ah, I gotcha now. I suppose it could be either way though. If the book is the Mob, it's probably the way you are saying. If the book is a big corporation, its probably the players/boxers themselves, having their friends make the bets.

I've run about 25 tournaments, only regular, not chip. The software stinks, imo. But there is nothing else to use instead, imo. I'd suggest you practice with it at home a couple of hours making tournaments, adding players, going through the motions to make the bracket, etc. You don't want your...

How many boxing movies have been made about dumping, or where dumping was shown in it. Probably all of them. Boxing is still as popular as ever because people like watching fights. People don’t like watching pool. It’s boring. That’s it. That’s the root of the entire “no money in pool”.

Huh? So two boxers fixing a fight (or even a single boxer) don't control the dumping? How many millions are bet on boxers? People line up to buy boxing on PPV. Only us diehards do for pool. That's the difference. Not how likely one is to dump.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that before. (or the one from this thread, until this thread). They are both similar, and both take the golf tee drill to the next level. However, I think they are far enough apart that they were designed independently, imo. Regardless, you don't have anything to worry...

Every sport under the sun has dumping when the book is involved. That's been proven repeatedly over the decades in the mainstream. Pool would be no different. If the 1991 "dump" had not happened, it would 100% have happened in 1992, etc. The book never stopped taking boxing bets, or college...

The casinos today know ZERO about Lebron and Buddy in 1991! ZERO! I doubt they even knew or cared in 1991.

Wow, a committe to determine ratings?! Reminds me of the baseball movie Moneyball meeting room scene discussing the merits of a player whom was newly married, etc. That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. FargoRate isn't perfect (mostly because of professional sandbaggers attending high...

Right. Shotmaking and CB control are one and the same thing. If you hit the CB and OB both as intended, you will get both the make and the position. If either is off, you won't pocket the ball (or possibly barely pocket it), and the CB won't go where you intended. Both come up (improve) at the...

If you're not a good shotmaker, you will never be a good safety player. How is a bad shotmaker going to skim the paint off the ball for a good safety?

Shotmaking by far. That means you have good hand eye coordination and abilities. The rest comes easily after that.

That was fun. haha.

I just sent them an email that 2 rooms in PA are permanently closed.

Do you want to pull your hair out giving lessons? hahaha
