In gambling, every situation is different. A few days ago Fatboy took the worst of it playing in a $3,000 Ring Game with some great pool players. He knew he had the worst of it, but he wanted to show everyone he had the balls to get in the box with champions.
No disrespect Jay, but based on Fatboy's net worth that's like a normal person playing a champion some cheap sets for a few bucks. Most of us would have no problem playing a world beater, or several world beaters, cheap either. It's all relative.

Anyone who watched the Ten Ball Ring Game knows he is only a 'B' player at best. But would they like to play him one game of 9-Ball for $10,000. If so, they can probably get a game.
If Fatboy is really interested in playing some $10k/game 9-ball, I am sure there are many, many players (A, B, pros, and otherwise) who will accomadate him. He can get spotted too. All he has to do is ask.

This is pool, mister.
No jukebox.
No pinball.
No fair game.
If you want to get technical (read that as nitty if you'd like), no pool match is a perfect 50/50. But that's why we gamble, to find out.

We know that Fatboy won't play keno/rollerball and Bucktooth won't flip coins...

So how about Fatboy and Bucktooth make a game (pool, that is) that they both like and just get it on!

I realize that this is the internet, but why don't you go pull someone else's coat for a change.

<< thinks "Smorgass Bored" called the cops on Bucktooth's keno board :D

Jay -
What is the most that Fatboy has ever gambled for at one time
a) At Pool - What was the race, what was the game
b) At anything - Sports, Casino, etc.

I have seen our local man play races to 6 for $30K (multiple sets) and stake 6 ahead for $30K.

You say that Fatboy tried to bet $100K on one hand of blackjack & the casino declined. Jay, not that I ever doubt your word but which casino? I imagine that if he walked into the Wynn, Belagio, Venetian tomorrow he could get serviced.

To everyone else, money is still money. Whether your net worth is $10,000 or $10 million. Stores don't charge you more based on your net worth so the value of $10,000 is still $10,000. No, if Fatboy loses, he will wake up tomorrow and life goes on but I have no doubts that he understands the value of $10,000. I know a lot of wealthy people, and believe me, they all still know the value of $$$$. That is how they got wealthy in the first place. Now some rich people use their $$$ for entertainment when gambling but they still understand the value of the $$$ they are gambling.

I am not sure how much $$$ Fatboy has but I am sure he has plenty. Here, in STL, you can find Nelly at the casino playing $2-5 No Limit poker, max buy in $500 on any given week. He made $63 million last year. But you don't see him betting $500 on everyhand he plays. Using the analogy of others on here, you would think that $500 (which is .0000079 % of what he earned in just the year before) would mean nothing to him. But he, along with Fatboy & other wealthy people, have not forgotten the value of $$$$. Compare that $500 to the average American making $50,000 a year. That would be like them gambling .40 cents. Believe me, when gambling, things are thought of differently.

I told Nelly once that he ought to write a rap song about poker (kind of like the Black Eyed Peas did for the NBA with 'Lets Get it Started') & it would probably get played on ESPN or FSN during the poker telecasts. You want to
what his response was? There isn't enough $$$ in it for his time. He only does projects when he makes real $$$. But he sits there for hours playing $2-$5 no limit poker. Understand the difference? Until you do, don't comment on whether Fatboy showed heart or not. He showed tons.

Not agreeing completely here.

Everyone knows what kind or woofing war they have had here, and it has lasted for months.

If you are a multi millionaire, it's much easier for you to risk 100 000$ to buy bragging rights and boost your ego - and win the woofing war at the same time.

Of course rich people know the value of money, that is obvious. They wont gamble against the odds - UNLESS THEY GAIN SOMETHING MORE VALUABLE IN RETURN.
Now, in here, nobody wasn't even gambling against the odds, but for sure Fat Boy gained something which was worth risking the money - as he seems to be a (multi) millionaire.
To do the same thing with All-In, last chips on the line, would be completely different act.

Not to take anything away from Fat Boy, he really did entertain us and deserves all the praise, but to gamble is VERY relative thing, and some are missing that point here.

We shouldn't have to be Einsteins to be able understand the difference.

Sometimes, when your gambling legacy is on the line, you're supposed to say "flip it." Now, Tooth with have to endear YouTube replays of his failure to flip it for the rest of his life.

Cornfed? Where's Cornfed? Did he leave the building too? The next time Corn posts, just embed the video of Tooth folding. It'll be like the new Rick Roll.

LOL....Rep for you.

Niiiiiiiiiice. With the proper intro, it could be a major hit on youtube and get our sport some interest.

Wow. We are all lucky that was captured. That footage should go in a museum! The Billiard Archives! :eek:
 
pay per view

That may just be the most valuable footage second by second that doesn't include a grassy knoll or a naked babe. There is a site much like U-Tube but it is pay per view. You set the rate, anywhere between twenty cents and fifty bucks. I'd say charge two to five bucks for that few seconds of tape and see where it goes.

100% agreed.

So what if you can say I'll flip a coin for 10k if you have 100k on you and a few million more somewhere else.

There are people every day who actually gamble, what you are talking about those two doing is far from gambling.

As far as the 100k a hand blackjack. Once again LOTS of people can do that. Wanna bet on how long he can play 100k a hand blackjack?

I completely agree.

I am taking nothing away from Fatboy. He seems like a great guy with alot of heart. (showed it by playing the ring game).

Heres an example. If I have 50 thou in my pocket and offer to flip you a coin for a thousand. Thats not really "gamble". Now on the other hand if you have 1050 in your pocket and offer to flip for a grand, THATS gamble.

I think gamble is all relative to the risk involved. Me risking 2 percent of the money in my pocket means nothing. You risking 96 percent of what you have in your pocket, that shows TONS of gamble.

Fatboy showed tons of heart by getting in front of the world and putting his ego on the line in the ring game. Thats heart that no amount of money can buy.

Nice job shutting up tooth, Fatty.
 
Does anyone remember

the last time that Bucktooth made a substantial bet without believing that he had the best of it? How likely is Bucktooth to ever bet anything substantial on a coin flip?
 
Seriously

Ok, I don't know either one of these guys. Who the hell is bucktooth? From what I have read bucktooth likes to run his mouth, correct? So fatboy shows up with more money than this bucktooth? and asks to flip a coin for it? So I have a few questions. I understand this fatboy has a lot of money. What if this fatboy didn't have a lot of money. Would he of been, how should i say it, big enough to step up then? And what if bucktooth would of said flip it.... Would fatboy have went through with it? I dunno, To me if this fatboy has so much money that he can flip a coin for $40k and wouldn't bother him if he lost I'm finding it hard to understand what the big deal is here? For example... If I have $1000 and a guy is running his mouth about gambling for $10, I call him on it, and he backs out. I really don't see that as something to feel big over. All in all I'm just asking what the big deal is here? Now if someone were running their mouth about gambling for an amount of money that would affect someone if they lost and they still stepped up, Willing to go through with it and not just bluffing, Then you done something to talk about I guess. Like I said. I'm not understanding what the big deal is here so I'm just asking.
 
Would have loved to have been there in person, but was laid up with Double Pneumonia for 10 days ... Anyway, Eric (FatBoy) ... we're all proud of you here on the West Coast, especially those of us who know Bucktooth and the way he shames the players around SacTown and The S.F. Bay Area ... Great Job and plan to hook up with you when I am back in Sin City ... All the Best, Howard
