I just heard from an unimpeachable source that Billy I. got brutally jerked around while trying to gamble in Mobile. He made a proposition game with Ricky Byrd for two 5k bets. He told Ricky he would take 11 to 7 from Cliff Joyner for 10k if Ricky would also take the same game from Billy (11 to 7) for another 10k. Ricky agreed only if Billy would play Cliff first and also reduce the bet to 5k a way. Billy played and beat Cliff (the most difficult part of the proposition), but when it came time for Ricky to own up and play his half (the easier half) with Billy, he didn't play and stalled Billy around for a couple days until Billy had to leave. Ricky mysteriously developed some sort of eye problem.
The second jerk-around came when Billy played Tony Chohan, with Ronny Wiseman having a piece of Chohan's bet. The game was, Cardone getting One hit and the pick (I aint gonna explain that). The trio had gambled with the same game at the last Derby City and Cardone dogged his brains out and got pounded. A situation had come up in their first session after Cardone had made a ball on the break and then attempted to pick one more ball off before he continued his inning. They argued that Cardone should have to wait until after his inning before he removed his ball. Since it wasnt stipulated beforehand, and probably because Cardone was getting robbed at the time, Tony and Ron relented and allowed Billy to pick the ball before he shot. The same situation repeated itself in Mobile, with Billy making a ball on the break and wanting to remove another ball before he began shooting. Wiseman advised Tony not to allow that. This time Cardone was shooting much better than the set in Derby City, and the fellas weren't in such a magnaminous mood. Billy argued that the precedent for the procedure had already been set in Derby City, and unless it was negotiated beforehand, whatever went before still applied. Ron and Tony wouldnt give in, but Cardone had Tony in such a bad spot ball-wise anyway, that he relented and went for their claim (he was probably going to quit as soon as he won the game, anyway). As luck would have it, Chohan lucked a ball into his pocket and ran out. Of course Billy quit.

As time goes on, these reports and observations are going to occur more exclusively on my website and brand-new blog. I am working on it as we speak. The blog is accessed off my website.
