Bonus Ball is Alive and will be kicking ...

[Nostroke]

For what it's worth, it's a beautiful bridge... you should get top dollar.

Some people would pay big for the names of those investors and it would be worth every penny... I could be wrong but there is a pretty good reason why i think he may be getting the info from the same guy who told me Caesars was making lines for Bonus Ball.

Scott Frost sounds very confident here.

I took a snapshot of this just now.

I like Scott Frost and think he's sincere in what it writes. That said, Scott's best game is one-pocket, not rotation pool.

Most of the Filipino champions today probably can spot my better half the 8, 9, and 10 playing 10-ball; the 7 playing 9-ball. [Sorry, Keith.]

Scott is in stroke, but he doesn't have to like it against today's top pool players who play 10-ball and 9-ball on a regular basis.

In Scott's case, in a one-pocket tournament, he only gets to play 3 out of 5, where a B one-pocket player can get up there and beat him. What is to Scott's advantage is that Bonus Ball has a little one-pocket strategy in the game, so this favors Scott.

I can see why he's enthusiastic about Bonus Ball. It's a way better game for Scott, and he has a better chance to win playing Bonus Ball than he does the 9-ball or 10-ball. If Bonus Ball goes, I think Scott will cash a lot more tickets in that than he would playing the other games.

I wish Scott well. Go, Bonus Ball! :grin-square:

the loss is based on the assumption they pay their debts, so far that hasn't happened:angry:

So let me get this straight. The main horse in the Bonus Ball race has been Johnny Archer. He's backed in since day one and got all of the players involved. Johnny is also the head honcho of the ABP... the same organization that DEMANDS money must be there and players get paid. How does this happen?

Maybe he would like to bet If it lasts or not?

You're still trying to make sense of all this? :wink:

Don't you see the bigger picture? Don't you?


I must admit that the timing of the ABP Press release stating they will escrow the funds of the US Open after the BB debacle is just impeccable.

How about another ABP PR about escrowing the first two seasons of BB?.

Hear, hear! Tap, tap, tap.

I think it is apropos that the new improved Bonus Ball has a strong supporter/cheerleader in the form of Scott Frost and I hope that when it rises from the ashes it does so as a much wiser Phoenix than the first version that burned and crashed.

It is a great game to watch. The team concept, the ability to hear the players discuss things is really entertaining. The chance to get to know players in a more up close way adds to the overall enjoymentl.

Let’s hope that BB 2.0 is properly marketed, is respectful of the existing pool community, fans, suppliers and promoters, and can help expand the fan base/market for everyone.

I have already signed on for the Earl/Shane Decider on POV PPV (Thankfully I have no plans for this week end but if I had other plans I would have subscribed to their PPV even if I was not able to watch as a way to say thank you for the great free stream that they provided from Hard Times this week end). The POV match starts on August 2nd, BB indicates their schedule resumes that same week end. I will be watching both.

you will not be disappointed when the Bonus Ball returns with renewed vigor.

Renewed vigor and NEW investor's? Johnnyt

I honestly like watching the game a lot. Its definitely a good idea to keep the stream free for the rest of the regular season. I hope it succeeds for the players sake.

Best thing in Pool today by far.

I have watched some of the streams and while the game hasn't really "hooked" me I do really like the team concept dynamic. It's interesting to hear teammates suggest different approaches and even ways to implement ... ( ie: use low left and come off the rail so if it doesn't fall they don't have a shot). That does lead right to your next point of getting to know the players better which I agree with as well. Who knows ... I wasn't a big fan but I already miss it!

Keep the hope alive! Yes, you will see more.
As per the info I received, some new investors jumped in to keep the Bonus Ball going.:thumbup:

IMO, the Bonus Ball supporters have their collective heads buried in the sand as they do not understand what is required to successfully run a business.

Sopadre explained this very nicely in the Bogus Ball thread so I'll repeat it here:

BB is dead as a legit business.
To all you dreamers who do not understand simple math and simple business,let me explain the problem in 5 grade language.No revenues=no business,high expenses+no revenues=disaster,low expenses+no revenues=slower disaster.BB has no revenues[no ppv, no gate].BB has shown people will not pay to see this game on the net or in person.How is BB going to get any revenues to pay the past due bills,the future bills,the investors,profit,etc???? Nobody has ever explained how to legitimately and with facts answer this question!!!WHY?? Because BB has no legitimate plan.Smoke and MIRRORS from the start.I have been waiting for anyone to explain the simple but critical question ;
HOW IS BB GOING TO GENERATE THE REVENUES NEEDED TO PAY EXPENSES AND BECOME A LEGIT BUSINESS?
We are not haters,we love pool,and we want pool to get better,not worse.We understand math,business and we are smarter than a 5 grader.

How is BB going to generate the revenue to pay the expenses and become a legit business??

Bonus Ball people don`t even know my name and I don`t have any ties with them and I don`t have any direct communications with them.

That may be true but I know you :thumbup:! See you Tuesday afternoon. Hope you're well.
