ahead

Hi, its simple. You just keep playing until someone gets 12 games ahead 
To elaborate a tad, say you and I are playing and the score is 4 to nothing in your favor. If I win a game, I would simply take one game off your count rather than scoring a game to myself. So you just need to keep one score and know who's ahead. It could go on for a long time... forever even ...

Or it could end at 14-2. And sometimes does.
The only stupid question is the one not asked.

It's a pretty good way to gamble if the bet is large. Typically, you look at it in this fashion: $50 per game, ten ahead for $500.
What I like about it is the better player has the best chance of prevailing. What I don't like is some players are better at marathons than others. I have done this before and found I can start to lose interest after a few hours and get sloppy.
It's important to figure out and state in advance what happens when the room closes if it becomes a marathon. In that case, my preference is to have the bet paid based on a per game. So if someone is 4 ahead at 2 a.m. and the room closes, they keep $200. But you can also have it that nobody wins unless they get 10 games, or the match continues the next day until someone gets 10 games.
Always post the money and state the exact agreement to the thrid party when you play ahead sets.
