Bar Table Dennis Vs SVB Updates

[Fatboy]

OK, we're good. Based on this post, I sense that the sweeping statement you made in your last post was not mean to be taken literally.

Make sure to say hi if you're going to the US Open.

Not at all, sorry Stu for it conveying things clearly. I’m still learning to write. I have worked hard over the years on my writing and there’s room for improvement. It’s got better but still a long ways to go!

As always my very very best to you!

Eric-the real me, not Fatboy in this post.

Should the people who buy the PPV be allowed to make an informed decision?

Or is it not a big deal when 1000 people spend $30 each to watch an exhibition (or dump) being sold as a big money gambling match, because it was only $30 a person?

The "PPV money grab" has become the new big thing in pool.

And if the stakehorses, railbirds, and PPV buyers keep getting treated as suckers, there is going to be a lot less money to go around in the pool world.

Why would you be asking "rhetoric questions"when your mind is already 100% made up?

And let's discuss your last paragraph really quick, the money being taken away from the "suckers" (nobody with an ounce of intelligence would call John Mars a sucker btw). If what you say is true, Where does that money go for it to be "a lot less money going around in the pool world"?

 

[Fatboy]

You yourself know that which stakehorses are involved, or not involved, or how much certain players are willing to bet, can provide very significant information about whether or not the match is on the level. Much moreso than the score, or caliber of play, of the match.

Of course 99% of the PPV viewers at home have no way of knowing who or what is really involved. They are completely at the mercy of whatever info the promoters put out there that what they are getting is a real big money match that they paid for. Technology has made it far too easy to put together a quick 2-3 day PPV money grab, then catch a flight to the next stop.

And it's fairly common knowledge that Shane can be very nitty when it comes to pool gambling, even though he is a total go-off at other things like casino craps. Remember, the advice "when 2 pros play, bet on the guy without the stakehorse" seems to hold up more often than not.

Since we're on the subject of how it all looks the same..... didn't you pull Shane up when he was 3 games loser to Tony Chohan, playing 500/game, some years ago, because you didn't like what you saw?

View attachment 607451

Did I pull up Shane? Not that I recall, in 08 maybe they played one set for $500. I was one & done lost $500 (in Virginia late one night).

I’ve bet with SVB many times, I’ve bet against him several times, I’m not sure what your referring to.

I will say this. Anytime I’m in action if something changes or I see something I like or don’t like my bet might go down to $0 and I’ll pull up or I might bet 10X more. Depending on what I see.

I’ve bet one side & seen the tide turn then and bet the other way on the same match(when they used to play lots of short races or ahead sets).

Point is I don’t have any loyalty to any “side” I follow what I see and bet accordingly. There are a couple people I will not bet against, in which case there’s no action.

But you can be sure if I bet on something and see something I don’t like-I’m done betting or I’ll bet the other way.

I’m never staying in action tossing of money because I started out betting one way. Anyone who does that is a sucker.

I win-I collect
I lose-I pay
All that matters. With who or how much-not anyone’s biz. You’ll never see me go “public” with any action. Never have or never will. Before or after the fact.

Respectfully
Fatboy

Pretty sure if it was a show or a dump, it would be a lot closer!

This is way too much sense for some flat earthers, conspiracy theorists.

Back to the match Does Dennis break 100?

Back to the match Does Dennis break 100?

Heyyy nowwww don't get cold feet if he opens with a 30 pack

 

[Fatboy]

Heyyy nowwww don't get cold feet if he opens with a 30 pack

Actually I’d love to see that. Would be pool history forever. A true 30 pack!

Edit: if he does that, I’d make him the favorite to win. I’ll open the window then

People who don’t gamble are the question askers as a rule-living their life’s through the action or actions of others.

The exception is someone trying to figure out what’s going on to make a informed bet not a guess. But that’s the exception. The tell is when they ask questions about “how much” those are the tire kickers in life. If someone asks about the weight & who won, ok maybe they are looking for information. But that’s rare-unless it’s among friends. This is 5% of the time.

95% it’s nosey people who won’t bet 10¢ or someone who is very very new to gambling and they don’t know better. That’s included in the 5%.

I came up with those numbers after gambling for the last 36 years. Same in poker or any action. 95% bullshit, 5% gamblers.

best,
Fatboy

PS I’ll take tails for $1000 today!!!!

Dennis wins the first 5 of the day. Maybe he's gonna push through the end. 100-63

 

[Jaden]

Shane breaks and makes 3 balls but the 4 is blocking the 3 from most of the corner pocket. Shane plays the 3,4 combo and the cb slips a little bit too far and hides slightly behind the 9. Shane plays a kick safe knocking the 3 down table and Dennis returns the favor but leaves Shane able to see the 3. Shane plays a two way bank on the 3 and safeties Dennis and Dennis jumps and misses the 3 leaving an open table. Shane gets out. (edit)106-63.

Jaden

 

[Jaden]

Shane breaks and makes 2 balls but the 3 caromed off the 2 making the 2 in the side and leaving Shane no open pocket on the 3, Shane BACK cuts the 3 into the 6, comboing the 6 into the corner and the cb and 3 go down table and land in perfect position. Shane cleans up the rack 107-63.

[Jaden]

Shane breaks and makes 2 balls on the break but if he can see the 3, it's only a sliver as it's partially obscured by the 9 and he elects to pushout. Dennis passes it back to Shane and Shane two rail kicks into the 3 and sends the cb back up table. Dennis attempts a bank safe but it looks like it didn't quite go far enough and Shane may be able to see enough of it to make it. He tried to cross bank it? but it didn't go the way he was expecting and he leaves an open shot and open table for Dennis. Dennis makes short work of it. 107-64.

Jaden

Have to go help the wife real quick, may miss a game or so.

 

[Jaden]

I didn't see what happened but Dennis won the next rack. 107-65.

Jaden

 

[Jaden]

Dennis breaks and makes 2 balls on the break although the 2 ends up on the rail above the side pocket and Dennis is forced to cut it down the long rail and combo in the 5 down table. Dennis is again forced to combo the 8 with the 4 and then has an open table and gets out. 107-66.

Jaden

 

[Jaden]

Dennis breaks and makes 3 balls on the break. He has a longish shot on the 3 and the other 5 balls are close together but a runable table to be sure. Dennis makes the 3 and comes up 2 rails to push the 7 out of the way and come to the back side of the 4 to shoot it back up table and now the balls are wide open. He runs out to make it 67 and get within 40 games. 107-67.

Jaden

 

[Jaden]

Dennis breaks and makes 2 balls on the break. The break is compliant and he has to jump a small portion of the 4 to make the 3 which is on the other end of the table. He makes it but leaves a wide cut or a back cut on the 4. Dennis elects to play the back cut and makes it with shape on the 5. He ends up a little too straight and on the wrong side of the 6 to easily get on the 7 which has the eight blocking one corner, but plays a force follow shot with inside to go two rails with shape. He runs out and makes it 107-68.

Jaden

 

[Jaden]

Dennis breaks and makes 3 balls on the break again. It's hard to tell if the six has a pocket past the nine or seven and the starting shot is a bank on the 3 which Dennis makes look easy. The shape on the 6 off of the 4 will determine the rack and Dennis gets to where he can play the 6 in the side with a natural carom on the nine. He makes both balls to get to 69. 107-69.

Jaden

 

[Jaden]

Dennis breaks and makes 3 balls again. He's controlling the cb and seems to have the break down. He's jacked up over the 8,9 for the 4 which is either a tough cut in the side or a cross bank. Dennis tries for the cut in the side and it bounces out off of the titty.

Shane is forced to bank it and has an open table aside from the 8,9 being right on top of one another. Shane gets perfect shape to cleanly pocket the 8 and makes the nine to make it 108-69.

Jaden

 

[Jaden]

Shane breaks and makes only one ball, but also only gets one ball past the string and Dennis comes back to the table. The 2 is hanging in the corner and Dennis makes it leaving himself the same shot on the 3 that he missed on the 4. Oh snap, I jinxed him, he misses it again off of the titty.

Shane can't make the cross side without double kissing so he elects to play safe and sends the 3 down table and puts the cb on the other rail behind the 4. Dennis hits the 3 but it comes out and gives Shane a shot. Shane runs out again to make it 109-69 and take it back to a 40 game spread.

Jaden

 

[Jaden]

Shane breaks and makes two balls, again only one past the head string but with 2 balls down, it IS compliant. Shane is forced to jump over the 5,8 to make the 3 in the corner and does so with perfect shape on the 4. It's an open table and Shane runs out from there making it 110-69.
