Ok..so i am SLOWLY figureing out this ghost thing. So in general..do you always take ball in hand off of the break? I almost never run out off of the break. Just trying to figure it out so i can lose to hte ghost.
 
play the ghost at what ever rules you want just dont try and cheat him

he will come back to haunt you lol (sorry):D

seriously play him at something you have a chance with and change to more difficult rules as you improve

i currently play the ghost where although he never misses he always gives me ball in hand off the break and off full ball snookers.

you can play him with just 5 balls on the table if you like but remember the aim of the game is to put pressure on yourself in a competetive situation its no good if you win 10-0 but no use if he batters you everytime
 
Make up some rules that will allow you win maybe 50% of the time. Then tighten the rules as you get better.

Right now, I get break, ball in hand, and I get to pull 7 balls off the table. But I have to shoot with a mop. :D

The MOP

Is that a custom mop? What weight is it? I cant tell fomo the pic, so it would be help ful if you could tell me what tip you are using on it. it isnt a cheap wal-mart mop is it? Maybe i can have Varney make me one!!
 
The way I've been playing the ghost is, break, take ball in hand, start shooting balls. I still suck. :P

That's the way most people play. When you gamble with someone against the ghost, you set the rules before hand.
Example:
I let a guy play the 6ball ghost one time. I racked every game, he got the break and ball in hand. If he missed, I won. If he ran out, he won. I never shot. I just racked for him. We played $5.00 a game. I came out like $150.00 up but it took about 6 hours.

Related story:
The same guy backed me to play Hennessee one time. I got the wild 7 in a race to 7 for 200.00 I don't remember the score but I got drilled something like 7-2. This was back when Hennessee was like 15 or so. Maybe even younger. He was no where near the player he is now, but he was still pretty good.
