D'maker, you and I know a stroke experiment is much too different from a race to 11 for the cash. Especially given the age differential. I'll be HAPPY to pay you $10 in LIVE CASH once the two gentlemen meet up and the decision is made as to who's got the best stroke. Don't you worry...drivermaker said:It's quite obvious you've already conceded the fact that VAP is the better player and has the better stroke based on all the weight you're looking to get.
That having been said, THIS IS the original bet...you owe me $10. Anything that we do from here on out is another deal. So, why do you want to be a NY weasel and crawfish out of a whole 10 bucks? I would think you'd be embarrassed....but I guess not since we talk about the lack of integrity in the pool world on here everyday.
And just to show you what a good sport I am....I WILL take your check.
BTW...VAP has stepped up to the plate. I'll make another bet AFTER you pay this one.

Thanks for giving me that much credit. However, have you ever seen the movie Pool Hall Junkie? Ya know the part where the guy bets he can drink two beers before the other guy can drink two shots? What ever you all think is fine. One thing I know for sure is that it is not impossible for me to win this match outright. And if I get up 10-7, it is going to be very tough not to concede the 18th game.
DM - Had to have fun saying that but wouldn't do it. If I get ahead I'll be going for the win all the way.

LIVE CASH?? Well that's another crawfish move because you already said that you can't send cash in the mail in NY and I sure as hell am not going to be up there or in NY to ever link up with you face to face.
I'll take a check...just make sure it isn't a "DEAD CHECK"!

I'm glad you see it that way...that's why you and VAP have a bet and why you and I have one also. Keep believing it and maybe your confidence will grow to the point where we can up the bet or add on something else.
I guess a money order will do, DM, AFTER these two gentlemen meet up and a decision is reached. Like I said before, you got action!drivermaker said:LIVE CASH??

As for VAP, what you got going with Capt. is another story. If you aren't willing to give him a spot like 2 on 11 for $50 (even cash) than I'll have to wait and see whether your stroke is truly better than Captain's. It stands to logic.
By the way, DM. Were my fears about Captain dumping confirmed by his last post or what? LOL...

The onus isn't on VAP if he doesn't want to give him a spot. The burden is on YOU to not ask for weight. Asking for it proves your belief...which is, VAP's stroke and game MUST be better. However, I'll make a side bet with you, even for $100 that VAP wins and another $25 that Capt. doesn't reach 8 games in a race to 11. Otherwise, I'll take my $10 now. MO is OK also...
I think Capt's comments were tongue in cheek....however, with poolplayers maybe it was schlong in bunghole.

I think this is going to bring a whole new meaning to the term "ass puckering syndrome" for El Cap-E- Ton.

Well I don't know about the cash thing, but the audience? As far as an audience is concerned the biggest audience I've ever performed for was about 3000. I played Born Free on the piano. It was well received. Not standing ovation though. The most pressure audience I've ever had was when dancing. Most of the shows I did were for a mixed audience of mostly students and some teachers. But there was once that I did the Tango and the English Quickstep portion of the professional show at a teachers convention. Don't remember exactly how many. Maybe 300 Professional Dancers. I didn't fall on my ass.

Hey guys, can I get into this. You know I can't play a lick. Sounds like fun to me, giving you all my cash. Only one condition. You gotta show me how to stroke the ball like you do. Wha ya say, wha ya sa. Purdy please, I wanna learn how to play this game.

Nice story Cap....but every player in the NFL, the NBA, baseball, movie stars, singers, or anyone else that's played in front of MILLION AND MILLIONS of people all piss their pants and turn to jello when they tee it up in a pro-am with a PGA player and are totally OUT of their ELEMENT.
And Cap...you'll be out of your element. This is going to be like standing in the corner with the bell ringing to start the fight against Mike Tyson and seeing that bull charging across the ring at you. You'll be like a deer staring into the lights of an oncoming car totally frozen in your tracks. You'll then be wondering why you keep missing and everything you do suddenly feels like shit. That's when the old brain starts cranking in and mechanics set in...after that it's... (can you play "Happy Trails" on the piano?)
Did I hear DM is making a side bet of $25 on Cap getting to 8? I'll take you on that bet too. As a matter of fact, I'll tell you what I'll do... Why don't we make the $10 stroke bet depend on who wins the whole match? In other words, if Cap gets to 8 & loses, you gimme $15; if he don't get to 8 I give you $35. If Cap wins the whole thing, you gimme $35. Does that work? C'mon, DM, let's be reasonable.drivermaker said:The onus isn't on VAP if he doesn't want to give him a spot.

VAP, I'm sure you're a great player and certainly very knowledgeable... But you'll only bet when you got the brazilians on me. You won't even gimme two on the wire. That means we can't do business. Nothing personal...

I gave Cap the bet on the side but with you how about we just double that $35 dollar amount to $70 for a straight win/lose match. Why I even want to do this is an exercise in futility. You're doing everything you can to weasel out of the $10 bet and get weight from either VAP or me, I can't wait to see how you'll try to weasel out of this bet as well as pay off. It ain't gonna happen on either account....especially the paying off part.

And VAP has to wear a fleece lined winter glove on his bridge hand, tie a 25 lb. dumbbell to the butt cap of his cue, stand on a milk carton, allow someone to turn on a strobe light while he's shooting, make him listen to rap music on a CD player turned up to the highest volume, and he' not allowed to use chalk. Right?
CaptainJR said:
thats fine cap, 8 on the break spots. i don't much like that rule anyway.
i can't remember, does BCA allow a push out and 3 fouls on 8 ball?
jump cues are allowed.
since DM has money in this game.........i'll let him give some input on the alt. break.
