Don't feel bad, you're wrong about lots of stuff on here.
Maybe you and Satori can go cry in a closet about Archer's loss.

Was it under or over?
So you play a guy a race to 13 for 500....once. You don't think there's a big chance of an evenly made match among amateurs being decided by rolls? You okay with getting stuck behind s ball on a miss, hill hill, for the cash?
I know most of you guys won't bet water is wet. If you did bet high, you'd understand that called shot called safe is a better game.
If you're going to get upset about something like that, then simply put, you are an idiot when it comes to managing your bankroll.
Would you also get upset if your opponent called a safety, and the CB rolls off, but ends up freezing you to another ball. What if you called safe, and banked a ball to the other end, but it accidentally goes in off another ball? Would you be okay with that?
And how about if your opponent calls the 10 ball, but hits it bad, but it goes multiple rails and into the pocket he called.
The fact is, that Johnny and Jeff could have played under almost any rules, and Jeff still would have Horse #@#%@ him. That can be said about almost any match up. Winners aren't determined by the rules.
I would venture to say, I have probably bet more money accidentally, than you have on purpose! (even allowing for inflation
).. Your attitude, that all gambling outcomes, are determined by good/bad rolls, is almost laughable! The outcome is usually very predictable, before the coin is flipped! 
Thats because a huge percentage of all pool wagers, are won or lost during pre-game negotiations..A very small number of these, wind up in hill/hill situations for that very reason!..Sounds to me 'young man' like you need to work on improving your 'matching up' skills, rather than worrying about getting a bad roll, now and then!
(ie; in other words, don't be like Obama, or you may rarely even get to see 'hill/hill')

Dick is absolutely right when we played 2 foul and ahead sets the best player ALWAYS won.
And no it didn't take days to play ahead sets.

Gotta' give Ignacio a lot of credit for having the stones to walk into that den of vipers and take on the owner.
There was a game somewhere in the mix where Archer ran the balls, then had the 10 ball off the short rail about 2 feet from the corner pocket and the CB frozen to the adjacent long rail......he completely dogged the 10.
From that point on it was all downhill for J.A. His game fell apart from that moment.
Sad.

Jerffery was stealing. You can get away with a lot, like that.
I'll agree on call shot but not call safe. It takes away the 2 way shot many have spent a lot of time developing into their game, myself included.
What's the most money you've lost off an opponents lucky roll?
When you lose like that or win like that it cheapens the game. All the other nonsense you and SJD wanna bring up is just that...nonsense.
When you and I play I'll give you whatever you like for rules plus the breaks....cause I know how guys like you play.
I think I've been around the block once or twice...and I think I've been around a lot of high action... I don't recall many gambling sets using call shot/call safety rules. And I think I've been around as much high dollar action as anyone. Maybe.
Can. You remind me which high betting sets were done this way?
Freddie <~~~ getting old, but can't remember any
The question is did you ever see a big set decided by a few bad rolls? Guy shoots into a corner pocket and it hits both facings and goes across into the other pocket. Guy misses and sticks opponent where they cant make a hit and they give up ball in hand. There's no reason to have to play that way. I choose not to wherever possible.
Best quote of the Year so far....:thumbup:
Match
In my opinion, the rules meant very little in this match for Ignacio. He rarely misses what he aims at so lucky rolls are not an issue. I don't think he missed over 5 balls in the entire match. I think I saw Johnny give it back to him twice.
Maybe it would make a difference on an amateur level but with these guys, not an issue...

Nothing wrong with voicing an opinion CE..But when you're way outnumbered by the large majority of sensible, knowledgable posters, maybe its time to re-think your position!..Jes' sayin'!
PS...Either that, or tell us how to stop bad 'rolls' from happening occasionally!...Now that would make you a very rich man! :sorry:

How about the set you and me played for the hotel bill?
Oh wait, never mind... that wasn't call safety... but we did stay at the Holiday Inn...
Ignacio up 3 points, and Johnny down 3 points to 789 and 783, respectively...
