I love this thread.

Understood.

What a great discussion. Really enjoying it. Thanks very much everyone.

Those balls are great.

I don't doubt that standards are better today. That's just the way of it in nearly all games and sports, partly because of better equipment and partly because the players are just better. But it just has kinda lost something for me.

I don't mean a better standard. I mean was it more exciting to be a top player, more enjoyable to watch, more interesting in general? It all just seems a little bit less entertaining now.

Another great card and story Rubik. Love it.

Congratulations. I've learnt from this thread that Raschigs are very prestigious.

I'm nearly 77 so too late for me to collect anything new except aches and pains. Impressive that you have more sets than Rubik!

Also Rubik wrote earlier that he had 59 sets. Do any of you guys have more than that? What is considered a big collection?

Don't forget the match just has to finish 6-2. It doesn't matter who won. I think that's a 5-1 bet.

Yes, but that is only 6 possible outcomes per match isn't it? Therefore a 5-1 bet? Isn't that correct?

The match can only end one of those six ways can't it? What am I missing here? What are the other 24 possible outcomes?

Is it? How so Alphadog? 6-0 6-1 6-2 6-3 6-4 6-5 Isn't that a 5-1 bet?

What do you guys think is the top ten most wanted?

I just tried to work it out and came up with this... $1 on 1st match at 5-1 returns $6 $6 on 2nd match at 5-1 returns $36 $36 on 3rd match at 5-1 returns $216 $216 on 4th match at 5-1 returns $1296 $1296 on 5th match at 5-1 returns $7776 $7776 on 6th match at 5-1 returns $46656 $46656 on 7th...

Have been completed. And they all finished 6-2. The commentators just said it was 15 million to 1 odds as a parlay.

I've really enjoyed reading this thread. A question. Why do people still 'lend' Cliff money when they know he won't pay it back? I was wondering why you don't just say no? Is it a pity thing, or does he sort of threaten violence?

I believe Rubik said earlier he was planning to put extra photographs in those empty boxes, but posted the unfinished cards for suggestions and comments. I liked the old cards too, but am enjoying the extra info.

Just gets better and better Rubik. I really like the explanations and learning about the sets. Your cards look great already but looking forward to see them with the extra pictures.
