is azbilliards going to bring back virtual cash>??? also where can one bet on this tourney at??? i like Shanejsp said:
I don't think v-cash will be coming back. You can bet on the results with me. 
I think there might be a surprise in store for some Big name players, watch out for DAZ APPLETON from the uk he is no eightball slouch!!!!! he won the grandmasters at bca and is a top uk 8ball player and also a dam good 9ball player reaching a eurotour final when he never seems to play the game!!!!

I have Manalo as a odds on favorite. I was listing dark horses that no one really expects to win.Hal said:

Pagulayen

Orcola
Yeah that's right all five of my picks are phillipino. It would be hard to bet against any of these guys. My other picks are dark horses, they have the ability to win but the conventional wisdom says they will not.

THANKS SATMAN! I'm getting excited now.......satman said:
Now, for my top picks...
MANALO! (I was a believer very early in the KOH
)REYES (may need a few magic tricks, but he has em)
BUSTA (this dog can hunt any type of animal!)
Richard Broumpton (the British are coming! and there are many of them!)
George Breedlove (may seem sentimental, but his strong focus will show)
Mark Tadd (terribly frightening that he can come back after a long absence and compete, but I'm a believer)
Top Woman Finisher: ME!
(Well, I might consider Karen and Allison......)Country with the most "unrecognized" *STARS* in this tournament: Great Britain! These guys play the game well and - although they may not do it in the first event or two - I think they will rise to the top.
My next five: Appleton, Daulton, Matlock, Groce, Souquet.
Oh heck, I'm gonna go watch some more of the Accustats 8-ball tapes!

An odds on favourite !!!! You miser !!!! One of the only things that can be absolutely stonewall guaranteed certain as regards The IPT Tour is that the opening betting market will have no odds on favourite or anything even remotely approaching an odds on favourite !!!!
I know you didn't really mean that literally but since the subject comes up..........if we're talking about The NA Open,the shortest priced runner when the odds are eventually drawn up (which I imagine would not be finalised or fully refined until after the Group draws are made) will hopefully be an absolute rock bottom minimum of 12/1 and possibly significantly higher.This is a 200 runner field and even the most critical of some of the lesser lights on the runner list would have to agree that there at least 60 runners who could realistically win it,possibly a lot more.
If we are talking the betting market to finish top of the money list at the end of the four 2006 tour money list events the shortest priced runner will of course be slightly lower odds but will hopefully still be a minimum of 6/1 and possibly considerably higher.
Looking forward to an interesting betting market
My picks for the final group phase are (and this is considering that the draw works in favour of this happening!):-
Efren Reyes
Darren Appleton
Pat Holtz
Marlon Manalo
Thorsten Hohmann
Mika Immonen
My "Dark Horses" are, very simply the rest of the UK 8-Ball players that are in the IPT! Simple as that! They are used to playing 8-Ball day in, day out, and are likely to cause, what some would consider, big upsets.
I look forward with interest to the Vegas tournament - oh, and the live coverage we're getting here in Europe thanks to Eurosport!
