BB first time to pay for it, who's watching?
- Thread starter bfdlad
- Start date
It sounds like the regular season package ($169.95) works but the weekley package ($9.95) does not work.
It is sad when people say $9.95 is too much to watch these professional play this great game, all week long! I would suggest that Larry and his investors high tail it back to Canada and invest in some oil or hockey! American pool players need to look at what they have now and how exciting this will be as the play-offs near and the play-offs! Shame on us. In Minnesota I have paid $250 a ticket to watch one boring game of the NHL. That's a whole season of Bonus Ball. (I call it professional pool)
How's it compare to working at the US Open 9 Ball?
I'm actually watching my first match now. I have to say it's much better than I thought it would be. I think any fan of one pocket can appreciate a lot of the shots, especially when it gets to the end game. As far as understanding the rules, it's easy to get a grasp of, and I'm sure the players will be just fine.
I don't know if BB will be successful, but if it does fail, I think there are some concepts worth taking away.
Yeah I am getting tired of paying for a product that I can't watch. I do enjoy BB though.
At one time or another, Jay has to become professional and stop being a hater. No one in their right mind can say these matches aren't the best pool anyone has ever viewed! Oh my God. The problem with this game it is so far superior to 9 ball and 10 ball, these old dogs are crapping themselves! Clean up your mess and sit down Jay and watch these great matches! I bet Shane and Dechaine are crying in their cornflakes every morning. Archer warned them not to miss making history! I hope they never play in a real league ever again.:grin-square:
It is time for Larry to fire Nathan and bring in someone who gets the job done. JUSTIN!

Ok I figured out my problem. Your login email for BB and paypal email have to match! You can't pay with a different email on paypal.
I agree. I have enjoyed every bonus ball match I've watched. The game is challenging enough for the pros on that table to make it quite suspenseful. I really hope it does well. I've enjoyed it so much I'm thinking of attending the NY vs. Miami match on July 18
10 bucks ain't too much to pay, if you're into it or anything else.
When it was free, even on the one night that the bugs were supposedly worked out, it wasn't anything that would hold my attention for long enough
to get my 10 spot worth out of it.
I could type out all the things that I like (which are many) and don't like about it but what it comes down to
is that I have seen all I need to see to know that I am not interested enuff in BB to support it or even watch it for free.
Still, I will give em credit for their hard work and trying something different in the world of Billiards and also wish them them the best of luck, I think they will need it in the long run.

I gave it a shot and enjoyed some of it, but it's not enough to make me want to buy it. I'll save my pool ppv budget for TAR streams. If it was free or on tv I'd watch it.
We have tried to help multiple times...
I don't really say much but I will say this, it's not Nathan's production that is lacking it's the other stuff behind the scenes that you don't see typically because you are used to watching things on Ustream.
TvMike and I have tried to contact them and did countless times telling them we can make the problems go away overnight. The problems are at the server level and the code, it's simply not easy to do what they are trying to do. It took a year and a half to get our network running to where it is now and no matter who they hire there are so many little tweaks and turns to do to refine everything. The device incompatibility is bad coding, the lagging and jumping is the server. We still have device issues because there are so many configurations and Apple and Android's are completely different. Certain browser settings work better than others and certain phones work better than others. We have about 80% compatibility on OSPN.
The offer is still open to help them however I don't know if it's too late in the minds of the pool fans to give this a chance. It obviously would be great for pool if it were to succeed and we could certainly help technically.
