After his 2 previous wins over Dennis and Jayson, I think Justin has at least earned himself a shot at a race to 100 with SVB. If not SVB, then at least Mike Dechaine.
Justin Bergman is only a barbox player and will never beat Shane race to 100.

Sure he has a shot, just not a backer that hates his money. Justin's 10ball break would get exposed in a race to 100.
Did you watch his match against Dennis or Shaw? His 10 Ball break was better than both of them. Shaw has one of the best 10 Ball breaks, how come he didn't expose Justin?
I don't think that Justin broke very well in that match. He did make a lot of balls, but wasn't controlling the 1 ball cue ball the way that Dechaine or SVB would/do. He did play great from whatever layout the table gave him. In a race to 100, it is a big advantage to have the more strategic/repeatable break obviously.
I also don't understand why Justin would have any incentive to play Shane right now. If he somehow played really close or even somehow won, his action is destroyed. There are still lots of games that he can play for cash that would get ruined if he had a great showing against SVB.
JA beat Shane in that same format, but the funny thing was, the over all score was 57-57, not much different than Shane and Bustamante, but had either of them match up gone to a 100, there's no doubt in anyone's mind Shane would have beat both of them, as the short races, we're not Shane's idea, but Shane played them both in that format anyway. Shane's only lost 2 races to 100, the first one to Alex, in which he had a commanding lead, then lost it in the end, because of a female distraction, and the second loss was to Earl, on a 5'×10' snooker table, piss poorly converted to a pocket table, a circus table, in which Earl got his butt handed to him by Shane on a 9ft, race to a 100 before, and after that circus exhibition.
Can you name all those who have fallen victim to Shane in a race to 100? Cory D, Earl S, 2x, Donny M, Dennis O, Mike D, Darren A, 2x US Open in a row Champion, Mika I, 2x US Open in a row Champion, Alex P, who else am I missing???? Of those I listed, who has JB beaten in a race to 100?

So 57 is a short race? Got it.
What you fail to understand is, that was the to total wins by Shane and JA both after 3 races to 25, yet JA was declared the winner, yet in a race to 100, that barely half way the distance, and JA was fading fast at that point, he would've never had the stamina to finish the distance....why do you think this was the first race to 25, 2 out of 3 format for Shane?....Followed up by Bustamante wanting to play Shane in the same format

What you fail to understand is that you can't possibly predict the future. How do you know Archer or Bustamante doesn't have the stamina to keep going and win? You sound real biased. Archer won, but you say he doesn't have the stamina to continue to 100, Bustamante won but you said he wouldn't be able to continue to 100. Who made you the azb fortune teller? Earl didn't have a problem going to 100 with Shane and beat him convincingly, and he's around the same age as Archer and Busty.
Then why wouldn't either of them agree to a race to 100, and Earls win on a circus table was a joke, which is why he lost to Shane in a race to 100 before and after that circus exhibition, or did you miss that, in which both wins was by MORE games than when Earl won on that joke of a pool table.
I might be wrong here, but I think the score in Earl/Shane one was 100/60, Shane won.

Because they probably think race to 25, 2 out of 3 sets is a more logical way to finding out who the better player is?
Regarding Shane's loss to Earl on the 5x10:
1) Earl used a longer cue. Shane did not. A lot of shots were hard to reach for Shane and it was a factor.
2) This match was famous for Earl possibly setting a record for the most *****ing and sharking ever recorded in a single pool match.
3) The table was extremely difficult, and gaffy
4) Despite all the above, Shane played decently
5) Despite all the above, Earl played liked God++. It really was impressive how well he played on that difficult table while constantly screaming at the crowd and changing his earphones and falconer glove etc.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the match that led to Justin commenting "Earl has backup earmuffs? That's strong".

bergman new best player in the US should captain them at Mosconi
SVB cant do it

I am pretty sure SVB has an open invitation for anyone to try him in a race to 100. You don't have to earn it, all you have to do is ask.
Oh, and bring $10,000
