CBS 60 Minutes Story Link: The South Dakota Kid - SVB & Pool

The tagline.
"The South Dakota Kid – Jon Wertheim profiles Shane Van Boening, the top-ranked pool player in the world for 2022, and explores how pool is trying to shed its rambling, gambling image and thrive as a proper professional sport."

also, LOL

Do two professionals matching up for $$$ constitute gambling? I was a bit confused by this angle as well.

SVB enjoys gambling but pretty much always does so on his backer's $$$. And he's no longer gambling, or even playing in smokey rooms where you might get a cue ball thrown at you.

The 60 minutes investigative crew obv. weren't in deep dive mode. :sleep::giggle::sleep:o_O

I thought the piece was done well though.

best,

If the players or their manager(s) are putting up the money it is gambling.
If the organization putting on the tournament is putting up the money it is not gambling.
