Another Gambling Thread

full of it, huh. Well, I have played 43 years, and I was on the road at 18 (and
known at that time as 'Mako' which means little shark in case you didn't know), and I have played my share of men and women pros during that time.
Boston Shorty, Jersey Red, and the Taylor brothers were down in Houston when I lived there. Didn't play the former, but I played with the Taylor brothers quite a bit. Alfie Taylor was 9 ball Champion of Texas at the time.
I lived in Indy for a year, and tried to match up for $1,000-1,500 a set, and
none of the A players in town would play. Someone was going to get George to play me, but he was on the road at that time. I did help a team that had taken 2nd for 4 years running, win 1st in the city that year. And I did win
the Kansas State BCA Championship 2 years ago at age 55.

The point I was trying to get across is that women professional pool has come a long way, they are definitely getting better, and the bar is being raised, but it is not to the level that men professional pool is yet. There are a lot of women, that might play women good, but do not play men as good, and if you have played for a number of years, I am sure you have seen this at some level. On the other hand, there are some men that it bothers them to play a woman, but that is strictly a mental thing.

If you want specific reasons why I do not think women pros are at the level
of men pros, I will give them to you. if you want.

No, I am not a world beater, and I chose college over trying to turn pro
when I was 23 and just back from Nam, but I have got some game, and if
you get out my way, we can play.

you don't show up on ANY google search. which, most people who have won anything show up on the search for the most part.

NO, i mean NO one, has ever heard of you. I've asked just about every pro, road, shortstop, ball banger that i know everywhere, and they HAVE NOT heard of you.

from what i've read on this forum, there is a good reason for that.......as last two said.......YOU"RE FULL OF SHIT.

I have also shot women's pros before (many many years ago), and I would give
any of them the 7 in 9 ball. I did lose a little to the women's National BCA
champion giving her the 7 and the break, but I was coming down from a
3 day party mode, and should not have played at all.

Would you give Kelly Fisher the 7?

If so then maybe we could arrange something.

i'm sure you've got that covered john, but if he agrees, i and i'm sure plenty more people will bring a couple truckloads of money.

this could be a big payday for snapshot

what's in a name?

Truth of the story is debatable since its hear say....and I did not put any words in his mouth...I bolded the "so called" comment that she made during a match...Read the aftermath of her so called comment....That's sharking....

You may be right...It may be absolutly true....All it does for me is make me think that Jeannette needs to resort to "sharking tactics" to throw off her opponent in order to win a match......

I guess your right though...since I have no way of knowing if the story is true or not...I guess I should give the benefit of doubt......It looks like there is a "sharker" in the WPBA....

From what I recall (and truly those were some foggy years for me), Jeannette could have given that guy the weight AND beat him one- handed. He was the type of guy who saw a chick with a cue and assumed her reputation was more for how pretty she is and not for how well she plays. She wasn't doing it so much to win: she making an easy win sweeter by messing with his head even more.

Also, while the line she used was technically a "move," it's the oldest, most classic move in the book and would only affect a ballbanger. Which he was, and it did.

Now who am i to say? Maybe your assumption may be right. Maybe she came all the way to s.f. and found herself in a desperate situation, having given up too much weight and was afraid of losing the match. And maybe her skills at sharking were limited to the rudimentary. Either way, it worked and she won.

Or. Maybe the dressing up of the name "richard cranium" is just to avoid any censoring in order to identify yourself truthfully. You chose your name carefully and well.

(thanks, last two, for the comments.)

and again, guys, i'm a girl.

Jeaneatte openely admits that when she plays people outside of tournaments, be it for money or exhibition she sharks them, but she calls it 'spidering' or something like that. Alot of people know about that.

I haven't personally seen Lee shark or "spider" anyone, but my friend had a "run-in" of sorts with her when it came to a calcutta situation in a tournament.

rousey loves to gamble

I don't know about regularly, but I don't think it was for no reason that Sarah Rousey had 5 c-notes in her case in the recent BD profile. I imagine they gamble as much as anyone.

Jim

i have seen her gamble of course against men that are average players and of course being she is a woman she wears them out. these guys wouldnt lose 2-dollars (200.00) but they would lose a dime (1000.00) to her. she is kinda cute though.
