They'll be accused of saying they can give so'n so the last five...when they never said it.

I like your business idea....although i'd like him to get more mainstream...
...alex is very marketable....just acting naturally.
....cues, cases, visors...autos....man has charisma.
( hey, what shoes are those? Pags....i can run racks in these things. )

Nice, Terry.

I might be a bit jaded....I've seen more money than that bet on two-ahead...in the 70s
when the money was worth more.

A half mil to a quarter mil might be interesting.....

Alex wasn't around in the 70's and he LOVES to play and LOVES action and shines in the lime light. I know he would be insulated by the bet, he plays tournaments that pay far less and still enjoys the opportunity to display his skills.

He takes all comers and I think he'll be all in on this one.

He will post and bet that, I can assure you

The lady then said " you better ease up on patting yourself on the back " , it was so funny that the whole table had a chuckle! The moral of the story >>> Dont pat yourself on the back too much lest you gonna have torn rotator cuff or worse still a BROKEN WRIST!

[smashmouth]

for all those who want a crack at Alex, he's a PROVEN world champion and I've known him on many occasions to bet his own cash 50k+

to all current pros on earth;

imo,

if you think you have half a chance, you need to acknowledge that a(you NEED weight and B) he is light years ahead of you as an overall player

he just beat perhaps the world's best one pocket player at his own game, if that match included other games Frost would have probably not even accepted

even Efren can't touch Alex, (has not bet with his own money in decades)

Alex will play anyone any game with his own cash and there are not many left that will do that outside of half dozen guys max maybe, but Alex will advertise it with enough heart to play you in poker after and THEN a sprint, and THEN a streetfight even, lol

they don't call him the lion for nothin

Just asking..... What do you think would have been the outcome in the match if Alex would have spotted Scott 1 ball? What is the bigger spot,9-8 or8-7 between these two? They are both champs and both played great!!!

8-7 is much bigger. Scott getting to 7 is a bigger spot than Alex getting to 9

I think Alex wins giving 8,7, because he won most of his games by running balls.
If it gets down to just a few balls Scott wins that grind out anyway IMO.

If you think Alex would rather give 8-7 than 9-8 you probably don't know much of absolutely anything about One Pocket. Alex can run 9 I assure you lol. I was almost positive Alex was going to win if the played even. Giving Scott 8-7 is gambling. The match wouldn't be as one sided as this last one I guarantee that. Jumpin Joe, who you like with Alex giving up 8-7 I like Alex still but its tough?

Did we get an answer to how many games came down to the last ball?

I only viewed last two days, and only recall one game where they battled for the last ball...for quite a while.

Great match.

I never said 8-7 was better than 9-8. I just said Alex can win giving 8-7

Sorry, sounded like you were saying it would be easier for alex to give up 8-7 than 9-8

[pt109]

Alex played Scott FIVE days to get up 8 games.....
...Alex can't give Scott anything.

Scott is a champion...and it takes a champion to beat him.
