Mike Templeton said:Hey Daniel,
I did wait a full minute before I hit the "Submit Reply" button. I knew alot of folks would take what I said not in the manner that it was intended. I have always known Johnny as one of the most stand-up people in pool.
I just think that with the publicity, etc., it may make one of them tighter, or it may make one of them looser. And it is a close enough game that one little factor other than pool might turn the tide either way. I just wouldn't bet the match because of all the publicity.
Again, I hope Pickle takes it off. He's a great player and has the ability to beat Archer on occasion. But if I were staking him, I don't think I would "open the rail".
Are you coming over to Greenville this weekend?

I am not so sure that you were wrong.Johnnyt said:Well I guess I was wrong in what I hinted about. I apologize to John, Bobby, and any bankers that might be involved. It just didn't sound right to me...sorry. Johnnyt

And the night before?kevin s said:The rail took a beating last night. The money line was layin 100 on Pickle wins you 150 !! 100 on Archer wins you 70 ! The hometown guy came through for the railbirds that I know!! Good shooting Bobby Pickle !!!
Might you be implying somthing that maybe you would like to explain in a little more detail? Some of us here are slow and really need it to be broken down for us. Just curious.rackem said:And the night before?![]()
Very little betting the night before! I think this thing was so big that everyone was unsure which way to lay their jelly beans. But after the first set , even though Pickle lost there was a sense of confidence in the air for him. It was so close I knew he could win! Pickle got really bad rolls off the break or he would have won the first night. He missed less shots and played safe better than Archer. And was hooked almost every time after the break. No jump cues in this match was huge. Pickle jumps so good it is sick!!rackem said:And the night before?![]()

I look for tonight to be less rail action. They booked a winner and don't look for them to give it back.![]()

I would say that if it weren't alternate breaks, then Bobby WOULD have had no chance..

Pinocchio said:Looks like to me Bobby got managed pretty good. Super long races, no jump poles, an alternate break. It might have been a different story race to 11, jump poles an winner breaks. Pickle has a complete game on the bar box. I said before they played he has no weakness on bar box but Budwiser. Well he has 2. one is Budwiser the other is he matches up bad.
