Everyone would take the game if the "unknown backer" was actually known, trustworthy, safe, and rich enough not to be hurt by a loss. There are no downsides left.

If an unknown back said he would cover you for a $100k set, would you play?

I cannot believe ANYONE would say "no" to that. I would play for 1% of it. or all of it
I don't know that I could do it... I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that I lost that amount of money... regardless of the insignificance to the backer
I wouldn't show my game at that high a level for that percentage! LMAO!
The backer would have to make it 80/20 or so, in my favor, for me to be interested.

Depends how much you hate Barton.
lmao, there may be a correlation here. not about hatred but JB def contributed to my thinking in this thread
Of course. Assuming that the money will be posted and frozen. Take the free roll.
Happened to me at a show. I was doing a jump cue presentation and a well known shortstop started heckling me and offered to give me the five out and the snap for 2000. One of the spectators leaned in and whispered to me to take it and he would back it. I said I would play that way and the shortstop did more back flips than Mary Lou Retton.
Not before saying he would play any I brought even for 500 a game...Larry Nevel was walking by and I called him over and said Larry would you play this guy some for 500 a game.
Larry says sure. The SS says anybody but him. I said ok well I have a guy named Rodney, a Jose, a Johnny....which one would like.
The crowd got a great laugh out of this whole show. The shortstop left and we resumed destroying pool in America with the jump cue.

I would have to feel good about the game. If I knew I had no chance I'd pass. If I liked the game I'm would tell the backer what I thought the percentages were and if he still wanted to go I'd play.

I will echo that as well. I would only take the game if I felt I had a realistic chance.
Yes, but what's the relevance of the picture in regards to the quotes.
Absolutely nothing. Unless the backers names were either, Nunzio, Frankie or Vinnie.
Then, if you lose, a change of residence might be necessary.
For lower amounts, ($100 or less), I could probably fade it. I couldn't accept that much money as a gift and riding on myself.
I'm sure that there are a ton of Pros that would jump at an offer like that.
Desperado,
Why don't you come to your senses?
or
Life in the fast lane,
Surely makes you lose your mind.

Best one liner I've seen in a while - late show material.
Can you please make a list of them for us?
