I am curious how to know what handicap to ask for/give in matches.
If you normally ask for 3 games in a race to 9, what is the correct handicap when getting a ball, and what do you prefer?
I am pretty new in using the ball-handicap, so I am curious about how to know what comes next in the handicap-system if you win/lose?
Of all these I list up here, how would you "rank" them? Playing 9-ball, this is how I think I would list them: (But not sure, because sometimes 1 wild ball can be better than 2 call balls)
6 and 7 both wild
Call 6 and wild 7
Call 6 and call 7
7 and 8 both wild
Call 7 and wild 8
7 and 8 both call
Wild 6
Call 6
Wild 7
Call 7
wild 8
call 8
How can you compare these handicaps to giving games on the wire in a race to 9? Is the 6-ball like giving 4 games?
When do you use ballhandicap and when do you use games on the wire? Sometimes give/get both, if so, why?
Please help me, I want to start to WIN moneymatches too
