After Siming beat Donny , Roys basement, is calling out all pro speed American players to match up with her and bet it up , not sure what he means by pro speed but I'd assume around the same Fargo rate since he was quick to mention it ,,

Way to completely misrepresent the post.

The post, by FargoRate (that Roys Basement shared) actually says:

Some people think Siming Chen (CHN)--world highest rated female player--would have no chance against a large number of US male players.

We disagree.

We think her Fargo Rating is reasonable and that she would beat the vast majority of US male professional-level players. We sure would like to see Siming match up with more US male pro-speed players. How about you?

Seems to me they are asking stream viewers if they would like to see her play more matches against American guys.

Now we got something! I like it. Maybe it will lead up to an actual tournament where the best women are in the field playing alongside the best men. That could be a spark that makes Pool unique and interesting among other sports.

I've always been a big believer that a person is only as good as their average (or Fargo Rating). In this case, the rating says that someone is better than most people think is plausible.

The bottom line is, many people are going to go broke betting against the better player, whether that player happens to be male or female. IMO

I'll take that bet.

I'm a mid-600 player, and I'll play Siming for the cash, straight-up
Make it a race to 50 and she doesn't have to like it.
Why?
Because endurance is gonna be a factor, and pool is not all about making balls.

I feel I'm in better shape than she is, I'll out-think her, I feel my competitive drive is stronger than hers, and I'm an unknown.

Plus, I speak some Chinese, so a little barking is a-gonna happen.

No disrespect to Xiao3chen2 (anyone who has studied Chinese will understand why I called her that--it's not disrespectful), but I've never lost to a girl in my life.

Anyone want to bet?
I live in Tucson, AZ.

How much do you want to bet? A match could be arranged for the right price.

Race to 50 or 10 ball in the same day? That sounds like a really long set, I know I wouldn't want to watch a set that could be 99 games of 10 ball in one day.

If you really want to see if you can play with her come up with a realistic race and I am sure you can win a ton if you can beat her. I believe anything more than a race to 30 is too much for a single day, it isn't about who can take the most stimulants.

Trudeau ''blew it''.

Sigel shoulda played Allison Fisher in er' Prime. :thumbup:

No worries about 99 games - he gets run over by her. He can bet what he likes.

What he fails to realize is that he is gonna start playing worse and worse as she puts rack after rack on him, her confidence will grow and by the time the race to 50 is over I don't believe it will look like a 600 something against a 790 - it will be worse.

And you would be the first person in a LONG line of 650-Fargo Rated players to go broke...

will be a first?

Will this be the first time a woman ever beat a top rated man at any game or sport in
a long race or whatever ? Ever happen before ? it will make history.

I can get $2,000.00 cleared, Jay.

Where is Siming currently?
I can't travel to China unfortunately.
I'm willing to take a look at a few venues that we can agree on.

You laugh, but how many 600s would jump up and play some against a pro female player?
I'm counting on the intangibles to beat her.
If you don't know what those intangibles are then you probably don't possess them yourself.

A relatively long race is what I desire.
Anyone can win a short race.
I want to grind her down.

One of my points in all of this is to show that endurance (and staying focused) is a key factor in sport.
I truly feel I beat Siming in that department.
I would do a two-day deal of a race to 75 or one day race to 40.

I strive to show that a mid-600s rated male can beat a pro female player if the focus on the match is on other things besides technical ability. Bet.
