Yes we could of gone with the Mega yellow ball but Sly wanted to give everyone the best chance possible for winning this cue. He felt that odds of 39 to 1 were much better for his customers then odds of 46 to 1 ... He is not looking to make a bigger profit then what he would normally sell the cue for . He had the cue listed to sell at 775.00 when all payments are in the total will be 780.00 then you have to subtract paypal fees and Shipping and Handling which is included in the 20.00 per spot raffle price .. So he will be getting less then he originally asked for the cue ...
In the grand scheme of things that is all Sly wants is for his customers to be happy and satisfied. And to put out a quality product if you talk to anyone who has ever shot with a Sly they will tell you Sly's Cues are top quality and have a great hit to them. This is a great chance for someone to walk away with a nice Sly for only 20.00 ... You don't know how bad I wish I could get into this raffle ... lol... But can not and will not to keep it fair to everyone else and not raise any tempers or for anyone to suspect any wrong doing ... Besides I have a Sly I use for a everyday player and another in the works that will be finished soon plus two more on order...lol... Someone here is going to be very ,very happy with this cue ... A testament to how well Sly's cues are is to just look at this raffle thread and see how many of the people in the lotto own a Sly ... I see several that own one or more ... Rocket , Killer B , Lynning and Jsaxman to name a few. If Sly did not make a great cue they would certainly not plop down the money here in this thread ...
Again I cannot thank all of you enough for the great response to this thread ... Thank you ... Only about 4 spots left to go ...
