Just to be safe to make sure you aren't trying to gamble with an undercover badge it will be best to make sure he knows the secret handshake.jay helfert said:
I would pay money to see a video of Fats when he was testifying in court after he got busted at Johnston City. They probably dropped charges just to get him to shut up.

Bars in Ontario Canada get around this by giving players a $11 coupon for the bar if they pay $10 and play in the poker tournament. Right on the coupon it says you are not required to buy one to play. If you have a good supportive group of players they will all buy coupons anyway without you having to say it's mandetory. Plus they are getting a free dollar but money is being spent in your bar.nfty9er said:

For the past ten years it's been held at the Executive West in Louisville. This is its first year at the Horseshoe Casino, which is in nearby Elizabeth, Indiana.cuechick said:

Dropped charges!!?
Dropped charges? You kidding? After Fats got through with his spiel, the whole grand jury cornered him in the hallway and made him sign autographs. True story.

I hate to be negative here, but this in itself will contribute to a decline of action. In years past, the woofing and discussion amongst players about action has been exactly what people loved about DCC. If SVB was playing Alex, anybody could easily shout, "I want to bet 500 on SVB!" and there was immediate correspondence. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that the discretion will eventually cause too many people to give up on getting action on matches and walk right into the casino. I hope I'm wrong. I'll be there the first weekend to see how it goes. Good luck to all that are going and participating.
Betting...
From what I understand the law in Kentucky is that you can bet all you want on yourself, but you can't bet on the skill of someone else. Technically the calcutta's are on the fringe but the way it is seen someone buy's you then you buy yourself back then sell them half, if you want to get really technical about it. But being in Indiana which is full of Bingo, slot machines, and whatever they probably don't even have any laws of the such. You DO know that the birds fly upside down over Indiana don't you?

Yeah that's me. My luck with the cop happened again two more time. I called out who I thought was a nerd in shorts (no one was ever caught in shorts in my gang of friends. Anyhow it was at a boardwalk bar in Long Beach, Long Island. We went under the boardwalk and he about killed me. He was a NY Golden Gloves finalist.
The other time was in the Army in Alaska. I saw a sign on the gym corkboard that if you joined the boxing team you didn't have to spend 30 days in the field (war games and tents) in Feb. I figured, "who the hell was going to be a good boxer up here". For my 6th fight I was put in with the Texas AAU champ, 144-0.
He didn't knock me down but I was *issing blood for two days after the fight. In my small mind I thought he didn't want to knock me out, he just wanted to hurt me bad. The next time I was off post in Fairbanks I found him in a bar and beat hell out of him with a chrome barstool. And then the MP's came. That's another story. Johnnyt

I remember hearing a story from a friend of mine while he was in prison. He said some guy walked by and the guy sitting with my friend said that guy is gay and was talking about him saying that he was cute. My buddy gets all mad and ends up getting into a fight with him where the gay guy effectively beats the snot out of him landing my buddy in the hospital.
The guy who was sitting with him at the start of all this walks up to his hospital bed and says "I told ya he was gay, but I forgot to tell ya that he is also a Gold Glove Champ." That story always made me laugh.

Just left the Casino. All tables are in the building and many lights have been hung...Everything is looking very good as we're ahead of schedule.
Thought I would give a short reply to this post.
I realize everyones concerns and here's how I see it. I don't expect many changes from past DCC's regarding action other than those due to the economy...In the past, pool action in Casino's was stopped because the Casino wanted you playing on their tables not pool tables. Times have changed and the Horseshoe is content with making money on rooms, food, beverages and now feel they will get their share of people playing on their tables without the need to restrict people from playing on pool tables....They are well aware that the pool tables will be open 24/7 and have make arrangements to keep us safe, warm and well fed.
I don't feel that players need to refrain from woofing...I would in a nutshell "protect the money". Use common sense and we'll all have a great time......Greg

Great post Greg. Thanks for taking the time to update us. Let's all make sure this year's DCC is the best ever, and defy the naysayers!

In that case, you want to play some Banks sucker? :grin-square:
"The Pit" in VF (nor anything else at VF) is like the DCC. I don't know if there are pool rooms in the VF area that have an action pit like VF but I can say that I've never seen that at any other tournament or pool room for that matter.iusedtoberich said:
Have you ever walked into a pool room and seen one or two tables going with players matched up & a few folks sitting along the rail sweating the games? Multiply that scenario by 10 (at least). There were something like 8 to 10 tables in the action room at derby and there was anything from cheap action to high dollar action going on at each table and chairs were along every wall with people sweating the action.
As is generally customary with gambling, the money was put on the light for safe keeping. No one can get to it easily because it would be obvious to everyone if someone were to reach up and try to take some of it. Another scenario is having a mutual party (someone both players agree upon) to hold the post money.
What Greg and everyone else is saying is... don't post the money on the light, keep it in your pockets or find a mutual person to hold the stakes. JCIN used to have a pic of of a lot of money spread out on the table as the stakes and side bets were dispersed after the set was finished. This too is not a good idea.
There's nothing wrong or illegal about woofing and I don't see any reason why people should think they can't woof up games like they always do. All people need to do is be discreet when exchanging money & where the post money is kept.
