Jelly, Jelly, Jelly .........

[swrooster]

I have staked and put together matches. I limit this to very few horses. I go 50/50 and if we score well throw a bone. Recently on a big match my horse stumbled out of the gate, broke a leg on each turn and died dead down the stretch. Last week brought me a jelly roll from action elsewhere help offset. All time first for me. If I side bet, I will always throw a bone.

I think most of you just like saying the word jelly!

"..... jelly stays on my mind"


So tell me guys, should players view jelly as something owed to them, what do you think?

It is a unwritten code of conduct among the gamblers and if that is not respected the word spreads fast and the gambler will loose his business.it is that simple.

Aristotilian logic, general rules governing the society or rules on etiquate behavior can not and should not be applied in testing/questioning the the unwritten code of conduct that is pervasive among certain subcultures including pool gamblers,thieves,child molestors and gangsters

Jelly

Spreading Jelly is an art in itself. Know where to give it and know where to hold on.

It's like reputation spice. Some could give a sh!t, other are really thankful. If I get a nice message with it, it makes we want to spread some spice myself.

I do know it's more fun to give Jelly than it is to get some. If you give someone a pat on the back and tell them you appreciate them, while slipping them a benny or 2, it means a lot!

A lot of people just don't get the concept.

I agree that if you're putting up all the money and the player refused to go halves, you owe them nothing. But a little acknowledgement and thank you is nice - so if that's in the form a small jelly to say thanks, so be it. What if the player had no option to buy half?

Here's what I'm talking about. I played in a tournament where I didn't sell in the calcutta (& I wasn't there) so I was part of a 20-man "field". It cost someone $100 for the field. I finished 7/8th and just snuck in to the calcutta payout. No other field player made the payout. The payout was small, like $95 or something like that and I wasn't looking for any jelly (I was just glad to be there), but it would have been nice if the winner said thank you or offerred to buy me a diet coke - something to acknowledge I helped. To tell you the truth, it just felt funny to me seeing this guy and having him ignore me with no thank you in sight (maybe he thought I would put the bite on him). That would have been my jelly.

Ok, that's my story. The moral is, the jelly doesn't have to be big to be affective. Just say thanks and show appreciation in whatever way makes you comfortable.

The end.

My Jelly goes to:
-the waitress
-the person that steered me to the action
- the person I'm betting on if it's not me that's in the action.

In about that order and only when I feel like it.

So do I Big Truck . Evidently you have no problems giving me a little jelly roll for starting this thread.............. Right?

 

[ccshrimper]

Unless the player is a jerk and expects the jelly, I think you should give them some. You would have no entertainment or action without the players. If you'll tip your waitress %20 for bringing you drinks all night but won't tip a guy that just won you money something seems wrong to me. It's funny to me how guys will complain endlessly about someone dogging it just out of the money for them but won't give them a little praise for winning the money.
