I think it's easier to just buy your next opponent a glass of pure 151 rum to congratulate him on his previous victories. You want to be at the same sobriety level or less as your opponent and that's the easiest way.

Ever bet the horses?

Am I missing something here? There are 2 kinds of deposits, a holding deposit and a security deposit. What you seem to be describing is a security deposit, the poster you're referring to seems to be referring to a holding deposit. And how is this lack of morals or ethics a fact as you...

Actually no. But you have to question their credibility when they say they're in the 550 range of the fargo ratings yet can't even shoot a simple 8 ball shot to get on the simple 9 ball on their 6th or 7th trip to the table. Yeah, that shot can be missed out of carelessness, but who in the...

Oh how thankful I am to have gotten to see that video of Cleary's play before any mods took your suggestion. Looks to me he'd be throwing 200.00 away whether he showed or not.

Well, try spending a week or more in Vegas without an event that eats up a big portion of your time. It's maddening. But with an entry in 8 ball and 9 ball singles and team play, I've spent up to 9 or 10 days there and never felt like I couldn't wait to get home. Not counting minis, at least...

I didn't interpret it quite that way. I interpreted it as that Diamond sacrifices for this tournament and that he feels it's goodwill gesture to throw them the extra money taken in from the no-shows.

Ahhh, so with a 200.00 or 150.00 entry fee, you normally have until a month or so away to decide to sign up. This makes all the difference. Any breaks like refunds would push that day closer to the tournament itself. It has been said that the casino make deals with tournament sponsors...

You needn't have gone through the trouble. My comment wasn't directed toward the people that cry over eating a 200 dollar loss because they can't keep their commitments. Again, the tournament isn't for you, but it is for others. I'm sure you can find a tournament that will refund your 10...

You're right, 40% was a loose estimate and hypothetical, I should've stated that so as not to confuse you. Yes, when signing up is 1/2 a year prior to an event there's going to be a major difference in the percentage that actually do attend when between a refund and no refund policy. That's...

Heck, I agree with you. By giving money back they would be encouraging a stampede to sign up with a very high percentage doing it for the small chance they can make it. Just wanting to lock up a spot "just in case". If you return their money it would set up that 40 percent of the the early...

This brings up a good point. What keeps no-shows from doing this? Shouldn't there be some incentive for them to notify in advance they aren't showing up? Like a 50 percent return? This then helps give people on the waiting list a chance to make plans. I'm going to assume there's a sign...

After playing pool for over 20 years back in the late 90s, I switched to looking at the cue ball last. I made incredible shots. Accuracy was something I never experienced before. And I stayed with it for 2 or 3 years. During that time I ran into a wall sorta speak. My game was starting to...
