Any Thoughts?

What would be nice, is if the board had a different category for threads, titled
Horse For Sale.
So if someone was trying to raise enough cash to travel to, and play in an event, they could post as Horse For Sale. They could put the total amount they needed to pay for everything, and if they finished in the money, how much would be paid on the dollar after that amount was taken out of the winnings. If it is a good horse, someone might take it all, then other people might only to be able to afford $20. but there might be enough people posting, to get some decent players to some events. Once the amount has been reached, the player could post saying, the Horse Is Sold. There are tournaments, close to a lot of good players on here, and they would not need much, and they might just turn out to be the dark horse. It would make the streams more fun to watch, if you owned a little of the horse in the race. There are a lot of Bar Box Championships now, with a lot of cash. I know so many of these would be terribly expensive to go to and play in, and I know how hard it is to perform, when you are worrying about every cent you spend, but if you could put yourself up as a Horse For Sale, and get enough to definately work for you, it would definately take some of the pressure off of you. There are a lot of players on here, and I know some are very good horses. Maybe even some streaming costs could be tied into it, so you could watch your horse (just a thought.) Maybe even a place to post videos, so potential buyers can see how the horses play. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to share some thoughts.
 
I'll share one of my thoughts with you.
Maybe said Horse could get a job and pay for their own expenses just like the rest of us in the real world.

But, if you like giving money away to complete strangers who would never consider doing the same for you or anyone else on AZ, have at it Bud.

Me, I'll just spend my donation money on something totally useless, like beer.

And don't get all pissed at me. You asked for people to share their thoughts and I shared.

. Good day Blue Hog, have I got a deal for you! Obviously if you ride a blue HD you've got some bucks and I have some dinero also but I'd much rather spend your money. Im going to Vegas in May and absolutely love throwing dice. Would you and maybe a few others pledge some money for my expenses and a bankroll? I could have someone film some of my rolls and if I win big I would throw some your way. Please consider being part of this dream.
 
horrible idea.....

I think a section for folks to solicit backers is a loser.

We have gathered together to send quite a few folks to battle and quite a few have asked for and not rec'd.

I think the current system works just fine: the player or a friend posts and asks, the Forum responds, or doesn't.

There is also the AZB pro-player fund. Make donation/s, as you wish.

I want to take issue with your post, Blue Hog ridr....

Beer is NOT totally useless, dammit! :nono:

Carry on. :p
 
You are right, I did ask for thoughts. You all have been on this site much longer than I have, and may have more insight, to what may, and may not work. Everyone has their own opinions, ours are just diferent, no harm in that. A few Pros have come on here asking for help, and I think that it is great, that there is a place that they can do that. I know that most of the people who post, love the game just as mush as they do. I don't think that just because, some people can't afford to go to a tournament, that they are lazy. I do value your thoughts, that was the purpose of the post.
 
Jackass for sale:

Looking for someone to pay my travel/lodging/food/entry expenses to the next major pool tournament. I will promise to pay back to you 100% of any money I win. I will play hard and all of my focus and heart will on the task at hand. I will try my best not to go 2-and-out, but considering that I really suck at pool and never seem to get any lucky rolls, the prospects are good for me having a short tournament stay. Please PM me for a physical address of where to send all your hard-earned money so I can use it for MY entertainment purposes. After it is all said and done, you can sit at home in your La-Z-Boy and wonder how in the hell you were such a dumb sh*t for letting go of your $$$ for some lazy, no-working turd like myself to play with, you frikkin' jack-wagon!!!

FTR:

Donating to Ginky's funeral expenses = class

Pros coming on here asking for money = pitiful

No harm intended, just having some fun. It's hard to sell any idea so don't give up. Best way to invest in pool players is to buy several longshots in a Calcutta cheap. Players that can play but are not the favorites. Be your own horse and keep all the money! There are fine people who even take bets right here on AZ. Sit at home and rake in the dough! Good luck.

YOu beat me to it. I was gonna list the thread (for me) as DONKEY FOR SALE, but Jackass isn't so bad. :D
 
Dog For Sale Cheap! Won't eat much and doesn't bite! Plays real good until he gets to the eight ball. Has been known to almost beat a champion (until he dogged it). Just needs one more chance to win the big one, or go out barking. Thank you for your interest. Jay Dog :D

P.S. I had a 5-4 overall record in the Swanee and U.S. Bar Table Ten Ball. Only one out of the money in both! Okay, so I dogged it for the cheese. :o

I think that the new subforum would be a great idea! It should be called "The Tin Cup" subforum.

This all reminds me of two pool jokes:

1) What is the difference between a pool player and a large pizza? The large pizza can feed a family of four.

2) What do you call a pool player without a girlfriend or a wife? Homeless.
 
Pros looking for backers

I have noticed that it is always the same ones every year looking for backers around derby time.

I agree. Unfortunately, the people who do come on only seem to do so when they are asking for donations.

If they hung out at Az a bit more and answered questions, helped the players with their problems etc, I probably wouldn't have a problem Pay Paling the person a 20 to help out.

Its usually a quick hit and run and then poof, they're gone.
 
Blue Hog, I think you are 100 per cent accurate with your last post. I believe that if someone like Donnie or Bartram ever posted, looking for help with expensives, they would simply be looking for investors like any other business.
