It's $500 a game only for the 6 game lead. It doesn't take into consideration the unlimited amount of games 2 players need for someone to come out 6 games ahead.

What exactly is the difference between a $3k 6-ahead match versus betting $500 per game provided that the match ends once someone gets 6 ahead? Does it matter how many games they'd play for someone to reach 6 ahead? Nope. In the end, someone will walk away with $3k regardless of the number of games.

I guess I'm looking at the bottom line Total bet / # of games = amount per game.

really? 500/ game is 'measley'? how many times ahve you seen that bet in the poolroom over the last year?

The 3k is likely just posted coz that is what one of the partiezs was gonna max out at and he/ she didnt want to get short-shot.

IF they're playing 6-ahead, that's not a 500/game!

And 6-ahead one hole seems awfullly long for a Jeanette match.

For arguments purposes, say it takes 20 games.

$3000 / 20 = $150 a game

Forgive my nitty ignorance, but haven't there been TAR matches to 100 for $5000 a side?

Yes, they were 9 or 10 ball, but still, that's a lot less per game.
 
Good gravy, I'll give up if this doesn't make sense.

1) If you & I are betting $500/game & I win the first 1 & you win the next 1, we are even right? You passed me $500 & I passed it back. No one netted any $$$ although 2 games were played.

2) If you & I continue betting $500/game & I win the next 2 & then you win 1, I am up $500 right? You passed me $500, another $500, & I passed back $500. I netted $500 although 5 games were played.

Do you think we were playing for $500/game or $100 ($500/game / 5 games)?!?!? Final score was 3-2, so I netted one game & $500 = $500 per game all day!!!!!!!!!
 
I can see some of the logic behind these statements. They are incorrect, but I understand their logic. A better way to do this might be to guarantee either 11 games or 6 ahead. By guaranteeing a number of games, it sets a time limit. This is basically the same as a race, but now the games can be paid off incrementally (like final score 7-4 = 3 games difference * $500 = $1,500). This way, the game cannot take forever just to break even and the pressure will be higher knowing that there are less games to either make a comeback or put the nail in the coffin.
 
I love jeanette so much, you can't even imagine how much i love her, she's a beautiful lady, beautiful mom, beautiful soul, nice gal, a whole package, love you

If either one beats the other 6-0 ,how much was it per game?

My answer was simply that $3000, 6-ahead is not the same as playing 500/game. The math of course is the same. The games are a different dynamic and have different endings (you could quit after being down a game).

I didn't realize someone was doing some $/game played thing.

So, I bow out.

20 games for what? To reach 6 ahead? If so, what is your point? It'll be the same net winnings per total games played in both situations.

The only difference I'm trying to point out is that unless there are only 6 games played in the 6 ahead set, it is not $500 a game.

Yes the end result is $3000, I never disputed that.

So 500 a game is not a decent bet?

And, if you were betting 500/ game, wouldn't you want your opponenentt to be putting up more than 1 or 2 game shot?

Anyone who has been around $pool knows that ahead sets are often pro-rated.

U r not betting $500 a game in a 6 ahead set. Let me explain it like this Jeanette wins 12 games other guy wins 11 that make Jeanette up 1 game. So she played 23 games to win $500. Contests Jeanette u just won $21.79 a game lol Now is it worth it? The answer is no. Unless the bet is high enough more like 10k then it ain't worth playin in my opinion. An as far as opponent putting up more then 1 game or 2 games everytime I game an we play $100 a game minimum froze up is $500-$1000

You're right, it is a lot less a game, that's the point I was trying to make. Someone had stated they were playing for $500 a game. That's not true.
 
Unbelievable logic here --- they are playing $500 a game. Period

If Jeanette wins a game, she wins $500

If Jeanette loses a game, she loses $500

Playing 6 ahead just ensures that someone will win 6 games @ $500 game = $3,000. ANY other logic you have on this is simply flawed. This is not a auto worker finishing 40 games and then thinking they won $100 a game.

If I ever played Jeanette or was involved in anyone playing Jeanette, I wouldn't mind playing her 6 ahead - but I would limit the amount of conversations she is allowed to have with her posse during and in between games to one 5 minute conversation every 4 games. This would include phone calls with her posse as well. This would also include bathroom breaks as well. She can have a 5 minute conversation OR a 5 minute phone call OR a 5 minute bathroom break every 4 games -- her choice. Anything longer or any other interuption by her posse or towards her posse is loss of game.

So, if you freeze up $1000 and play 40 games, losing 25-15, that means you lost $1000, or $25/game? Heck, let's say you pull up after 10-5. That's $500, or rather, $33.33/game.

The discussion merry-go-round continues..

And who says pool players are bad with finances? :scratchhead:
