Dayton
I need to weigh in here. Remember, I told you that I arranged for Denny to have a big backer for the Dayton pay ball game, whatever year that was that he won all the money. I couldn't go because I was opening my pool room in Colo. Denny used to spot me one point playing snooker.
I did go the next year or the year after and the pay ball game didn't have all the money in it this time.I only won about $3,000. That game came down to me and "Bionic Jonic" from Canada. I had to quit him, not because I couldn't win but because he wouldn't stop playing safe, which you are not allowed to do playing pay ball. I finished third in the 9 Ball tournament that week, too. So I had a good visit there.
Wade Crane and I got on the mike and offered to play anybody in the world for $10,000, with him playing the 9 Ball or me playing the One Pocket. There were no takers and that's the gospel.
I don't think I'm right on the year, now that I think about it because Earl and Buddy finished one- two in the tournament and I'm pretty sure that Earl didn't come into prominence until about 82'.
Anyway, I enjoyed what Dayton events I attended, whatever year they were.

accustats
Accustats started as a business collecting 9-ball stats on players and giving them a score. Matches were taped for later analysis and not intended for sale. It was later when players inquired about buying their own matches on tape that Accustats realized they had a better marketable product than the stats.

The VCR was invented in 1971 and was not really on the market to the public for several more years. I owned one of the first VCRs offered as well as a camera. The VCR and camera cost me over $2500 and the camera was the size of a piece of luggage. I don't think Pat had any equipment in 1973. the first tape I bought was the Hustler, it cost me $125.00
