Bonus Ball is Alive and will be kicking ...

I have not had a lot of input on the BB subject other that I want to see the players succeed (get paid)....
I understand things happen in business deals that cause delays, setbacks, etc....

The proper way to handle these situations are to review, analyze and ADJUST.....

At the end of the day, all a man really has, is his word..... Obviously the "Brass" at BB has broken their word yet again!


From Lee Brett via Facebook.......
"I have $19 to my name, how long is that gonna buy me food. What a joke, in future i want paying after EVERY match or i quit... ridiculous now beyond a joke"


I try and live my life like the old Al Pacino quote in Scarface....... "I got two things in this world,,,,,, my word, and my balls......And I am not breaking them for nobody"

<<<<<Loves Scarface!
 
This is my Last post on this thread. I am enjoying BCA Jamboree at Rio Hotel and casino. US Open One pocket game is getting very intense.

I have nothing to gain or lose from bonus ball. I don't make a living in pool and what very little money that I have made in pool, none of it would be helped or hurt by bonus ball. I am friends with Justin at TAR but I don't see bonusball really hurting him... actually it could help with all of those players close by.

I simply think the game is corny and the jerseys look ridiculous. Aside from that, I'm all for the players getting paid, I just have no desire to watch it. I think many others feel the same way.

Aside from how I feel about the game being cheesy, just dollars and sense wise, it doesn't add up. That's really all I've really said all along. And that's not hating, it's being realistic.

I was a huge fan while it was on and really enjoyed watching it but I agree about the corny aspect. The jerseys were awful. That was probably my main negative. What would be wrong with different colored polos or something like that. The team names and logos were all kind of corny.

But the game and team play with mic'd players was super fun to watch IMO...

It's hard to believe that some pros are STILL saying it will be back though Scott isnt saying much lately.

What are the other pros saying lately? Have they all left Vegas by now?

Hatch said he was optimistic it was coming back-JA has been hinting at it. CJ said he was positive "something good was coming "out of it" whatever that means . Im not sure who is left in Vegas if anyone. And just because they may be there-they just may like it and have worked out staying there. .
 
I'm new here and I had to read about 9 different threads about bonus ball to figure out it wasn't a (really bad) multi-state lottery game, a (really bad) reality TV show on ESPN279, or some running inside joke about somebody with 3 testicles.

Eventually, I figured it out and checked out a YouTube clip a few days ago. My conclusion then was that even if it was well-funded, perfectly managed and broadcast on every major TV network in prime time......those awful "I'm on my way home from a hockey game" jerseys would have killed it.

Not just the jerseys, but them combined with badly sized black dress pants and black shoes. :sorry:
 
."One Ball, One Target" seems to be the common denominator in most successful sports

"something positive coming out of it" was in reference to all the movement these days in general, not Bonus Ball specifically. I don't know anything about Bonus Ball and have never watched a match of it.....the rules were to difficult for me to follow and I'm not one that thinks we have to have a "new game," although I do believe "Shoot Out" are the best rules for a variety of reasons.

The rotation games are the best suited for TV imo...."One Ball, One Target" seems to be the common denominator in successful sports/games.
 
B.B..Is a great game and i hope it will be back.. got to love the stupid haters of the game... there like bunch of kids ..best about it they don't`t realize it :D:D:D

BTW-where on God's earth would they get 'new investors' to jump in 24 hrs after they collapsed in the first few weeks? Where where where?

Could the new guys have done ANY due diligence in that time -ANY?

well now we know where they got them from-whole cloth.
 
When he says "Phoenix" He means Scott's team is going around the country hustling BB. Giving mad weight to amature teams...


Seriously though, I do hope they get some way to make a pay day for the pros. I am still wishing for success...
