Possible $100,000 match: Shaw vs. Shane or Shaw/Filler vs. Skylar/Bergman !?!

If you want to watch a gentleman how does Dennis get in the equation?
The point is, 90% of big action rotation games are 10 ball, 1 on spot. So if you are really looking for takers, I think you would pick the game that has become the standard that the players like to gamble. Its not like only Shane prefers 10 ball.
How many gambling matches have you seen at 9ball, 9 on spot? I personally haven't seen a single one in the US.
So by picking a uncommon gambling game, on your home court you have really shrunk the chances of actually getting accepted on your woof.
I would imagine Shane, Dennis and Alex can get decent money behind them in neutral court 10ball.

All these "proposed" games are probably never going to happen, so don't get your hopes up. No question that Jayson Shaw is a prodigious talent at Pool, especially 9-Ball. He has not shown the same affinity for money games as yet, content to win his money in the biggest tournaments on the planet, where there is limited risk dollar wise.
Shane and Dennis O. have an open invitation for him to step up and play some high dollar Ten Ball but it's doubtful that Jayson will ever go that route. He doesn't need to and doesn't appear to want to prove himself in that arena. Why should he? He seems to be doing quite well already playing the tournament circuit worldwide.
A very important caveat for any gambler is to always play a game that you're comfortable with. Pool players who moonlight at poker and gambling at casino games don't seem to fare too well, with a few exceptions. Poker players who venture into the pool arena have lost large sums in recent years as well. I've known several high level poker players who have dropped huge sums betting sports. Stick with what you know and you have a much better chance to hang onto your money.
As for me, I've done well in the pool world and real estate, two areas where I have some expertise and knowledge. I've gotten out of line playing Blackjack and betting sports on occasion and it's cost me dearly. Poker has not treated me badly, as long as I stay within my limits.
The bottom line when you are talking about gambling is to manage yourself and your money well or you will soon be parted with it.
Jayson seems to understand that and has no need to prove himself to anybody. That said, I've been surprised before what people will do sometimes. We call it, "Getting your nose open" and it's not pretty when it happens. Dippy Dave got his nose open and it cost him a telephone number!

Right now the only players who can get staked for serious money are Shane, Dennis and Tony. I haven't seen much from the others but maybe Alex can if he comes back to playing pool full time. As for Jayson playing Shane or Dennis heads up, I don't see that happening.
I still can’t understand how all of you are trying to tell a grown ass man what game he should play and who it should be with???
It’s simple, put up the 100k for him and I’m sure he will play whatever the hell it is you want him to play, otherwise you have ZERO to say about it - the man is betting his money and will play whatever game he wants to play without a single care about what any of you want. Hell, it may not even be streamed.
Jason<———will play what game he wants if he’s betting his money.

Finally, some common sense!:thumbup:
Does your wife know about this?
lol, perhaps you have to hide things from your wife but I don't. Gail knows everything.
In fact years ago while I was at the Pentagon the USAF would send me and my two best buddies to Las Vegas several times a year, for a number of years, for a week, to train our aerial demonstration team, the USAF Thunderbirds out at Nellis AFB. She knows quite well that after-hours Andy, Matt, and I would hit the strip clubs and play blackjack until we couldn't see straight.

Actualy it seems his still feels he needs to prove himself in fact it looks like by his post Johnny Walker was whispering in his ear giving him some liguid confidence and that's took down a many of player unless your were a Cole Dixon or McCreedy where they excelled
The fact is he's got the talent to beat anyone in a long race if he jumps out to a big lead however it remains to be seen if he can win in a grind , after Berg beat him he posted he was quitting rotation going to Chinese 8 ball ,, he dogged several balls playing Shane who's obviously still in his head but Shane dogged it back something Shane can fade in a long race the question is can Shaw , I highly doubt he'd go off as the favorite

I wouldn't go that far. It's at best a coin flip against SVB. Shane didn't earn a Fargo 820 rating from dogging it under pressure against champions.
There is a HUGE reason why there isn't a line to play Shane in the race to 100 format. It's called domination. Only a very few players have been able to put heat on him in that format and they didn't always win.
In fact the ONLY person I can think of who has a standing offer to play Shane might be Alex. I don't know though if that's even true.
