It's pretty hilarious how triggered some people get by Filler, just because he's brash and not American.
No.
I think turd is a concept that travels pretty well across all cultural lines.

Once again, I don't care to bet, but rest assured, the money has nothing to do with it. I've given my reasons.
By the way, if you're so rich, why not contribute some of your wealth to pool events and pool-related causes. In my life, I reckon I've contributed over $100,000 to pool events and pool-related causes, and I'm not talking about investments or business ventures, just contributions given with nothing expected in return. My pockets aren't exactly tight, but my taste for side betting on pool is near zero.
FYI, I am not living paycheck to paycheck. I am a wealthy man who retired at 50 and unless your net worth has nine digits in it, you're not financially out of my league. That said, wealth is a very trivial matter on the forum, and I'd never want to be defined by it. My posts should be the only measure of me around here. There is no relationship between wealth and quality posting on AZB.
You state it as if it were fact that only long-race play will define a true champion. That it your opinion, and what player in our sport's history has ever been counted among the greatest ever because of their results in the action room in marathon races? I've been to a lot of BCA Hall of Fame inductions, and I've never heard these marathon races, a relatively new novelty in our game, even mentioned.
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but I'll always believe that greatness is measured in major titles. For that reason, Filler's career cannot be compared to that of SVB, for SVB's major title count is way above that of Filler. Shane's level of accomplishment is still something that the 22 year old Filler can only dream of, but right now Filler is consistently outperforming Shane and, for some reason that I don't get, that seems to bother you a lot.

We've gone over this before. Chang only won by 7 games when they played.
Yes, Chang had a big lead after the first day, but a horse #@##@ would imply he kept his foot on the gas the whole time.
Hey Stu;
Can I hold a hundo? :grin:
In stark contrast to the bold arrogant statement that "I am the King now" by Filler was the gem that came from Skyler during a post doubles victory interview where it was pointed out that he might be on another MVP pace.
Sky responded that it was all about the Team and he added: "Who cares about the MVP, I just wanna get the cash."
Filler might be the genuine Killer but I'll continue rooting for guys like Sky and it's not just because I'm an American. :yeah:
best,

LOL, I don't often bet on pool, and I wonder if I've bet more than $50 on a match since the 1990's. If I ever bet on pool again, though, it will be as a favor to a close friend who badly wants action. Same thing with stake-horsing --- I've seen far too much "business" done in my day to want to get involved in that, and rarely ever see big action matches where I'm sure everything's absolutely on the level.
If you were a close friend and I felt certain that you were good for the money, and I was 100% sure that no "business" was being done in the match, I'd consider betting $500,000 on Filler, but those conditions are not met here, so you'll have to find your action elsewhere. I only know you as a very capable poster on this forum.
If you devalue my opinion because side action doesn't especially interest me, that's your business, and also your prerogative. Unless I miss my guess, though, I've watched more long-race pool than all but a few on this forum, despite the fact that I don't enjoy it nearly as much as watching all the greats assemble to chase down a very difficult title.
Hey, maybe you're right and Shane would take down the bet. Who really knows?
Finally, thanks for the insult. Much appreciated. It is not in my nature to return the insult. On the bright side, you can put me on ignore, since you seem to view me as short-sighted and uninformed.
Nailed it, Stu!!! Man, wish I could’ve met you to say hello this week. But I understand why....Once again, I don't care to bet, but rest assured, the money has nothing to do with it. I've given my reasons.

Lastly, I’d venture to say that I’d have a long line of vouchers for any amount you’d care to bet. I sold my internet start up for more than Filler or Shane will see in their lifetimes.

Can I count the .00 as digits? .
Lol, Tate! ePenis boasting rears its little head again. That's the Internet; where fantasy becomes reality.

I agree 100%. Filler is confident and cocky, and that's the stuff of world champions. He's saying, "bring it on" and he's ready to take on all comers. I like his bravado and candor. "The King is dead. Long live the new King!"
Don’t think the king is dead because he just put a thrashing on the Philippine money king. I don’t think filler beats Orcullo in a long set. Shane has been dominate since 2007 and impressive playing numerous champions long sets for his own big money.

The king just gave USA the Mosconi Cup.
