Pick My Shot!

It would be nice if we could get someone, ANYONE besides you to comment on YOUR skill level at one pocket !...Mr, Fowler, or Mr. Walden would be fine, but I have to assume they don't want to embarrass you, by exposing what they REALLY think of your game !...So they just let you flap your gums, and live your 'dream'!

It is going to be very humbling for you when reality sets in..You will have to do more than insult Lou, over and over...You will have to BEAT him, and win the cash !...That's why I'm betting against you !.. Fortunately you have filmed enough footage of yourself for me to observe ALL your weaknesses, and believe me, I DO know what to look for !..I would strongly advise you to forfeit the 3K, and save the 7K :sorry:

GIVE IT A REST! Wow you're annoying.

If you're so sure that Lou is stealing, I'm guessing you'll be in NJ next month covering any and all bets...

WOW...I thought I was talking to John ?..Sorry to upset you !....But then, I guess I would be a little cranky too if I were a 'Bonus Ball Pro', a John Barton fan, and I had to wake up in New Jersey every day ! :sorry:

PS..There is not enough money in the world, to make me want to go to N.J... I can bet what I want here on AZB..I would even make room for YOU if you want some !!!

Well, we will see won't we? All I know is that I beat Lou before, I am not barred from any poolrooms in St. Louis or any the USA, I regularly play with lots of players and have no issues, people around me like me.

And I have way more heart. So maybe you think Lou is stealing or maybe you really want to save him and yourself from being thoroughly humiliated when I beat him.

Because you see Dick, you have painted yourself into the corner here and put your boy under tremendous pressure by making him the dead nuts favorite. Since you are in the One Pocket Hall of Fame and proclaimed yourself to be the most knowledgeable one pocket handicapper alive now Lou has to win to save your ass as well as his own.

I can't lose here because the way you paint it Lou is a lock. So if I win then the underdog prevailed showing a ton of heart to go up against the much stronger player and if I lose the the underdog showed a ton of heart and gamble going up against the much stronger player.

Will Lou ever play 63 year old Stan Shuffett for any amount? Of course not, Lou won't even play 18 year olds in his home pool room. Lou only picks on case makers when SOMEONE else is backing him.

So like I said I can't lose here. I have already won just by stepping up and I can only win bigger by defeating the guy who is disliked by almost everyone around him. The guy who denigrates and insults good hardworking people on forums with his highbrow insults. If I beat that bully then the win is epic and if I lose then I get street cred for trying.

Lou wins then its Mr. Semi Pro beats Case Maker as expected. John wins then its Case Maker Crushes Semi Pro in Stunning Upset. Semi Pro and Hall of Famer left speechless forum cheers.
 
Jb, is it still possible to lay a bet on Lou? Thanks.

Yes. If you show up at the venue then I will have about $20,000 to bet with and I will take your action.

Not betting on here because threads can be locked and erased at any time.

If you can't come then make you own arrangements to have a friend bet. Although, honestly since the greatest pool handicapper and Hall of Famer Dick strongly urges me to back out I think that anyone wanting to bet on Lou should be offering me odds. Don't you think that this is fair? I mean according to former professional player San Jose Dick I have no chance. So what odds is no chance worth to you?

If LOU is such a complete LOCK, why didn't he play John at DCC? Really, if I was such a heavy favorite against a player I would play every chance I got. Why wait?

Oh man, you got me good grandpa... Your parents sure did have a lot of foresight naming you Dick.

Also, I'm not betting on John and I wouldn't give your geriatric ass action if I was.

Don't get worked up over Dick. He doesn't even know where he is or what he's talking about. He's so old, his birth certificate expired. His social security number is 1.

I heard he gave Moses 9-7 and robbed him.

I heard he gave Moses 9-7 and robbed him.

I am going to guess your age, at late 20's, early 30's..As I have said before, that's the age at which one is ignorant to the fact, that in my day everyone named Richard, was nicknamed 'Dick'...definately part of a man ! (Not 'Ricky', or 'Richie', as your generation seems to prefer)..I do wonder how many of you coddled young wimps, made fun of 'Dick' Butkus ? :confused:

And for your information, I gave Mose's 11-7...At least HE had a little gamble ! :eek: (sadly lacking, in 'Pro Bogus Ball player's' and Barton 'N*t Hu**er's' from N.J. :o)

PS..I would suggest a graceful retreat, back to NPR or the 'Aiming System' threads you frequent !...You do not appear
ready for verbal warfare with an expert ! ;) (Haven't you noticed, it takes Barton about a fifty paragraph reply, just to TRY and keep up with moi ?)
:D

No odds John. Just a bet. Dick's handicapping opinion is his own. I think it should be a good match and have no personal interest or beef with you or anyone here. I just like a sweat bet sometimes. I've never seen either of you play and am just betting to make my drive to Edison more exciting lol. I'm in Philly so it's not too far. Should be a fun time. We actually met at the Derby and you seem like a nice guy, so I hope there's no hard feelings. I'll see you at the match.

John you are, as usual, oblivious to the fact that there are literally TONS of forum member's who cannot stand YOU !.. Your constant attacks at Lou, are wearing quite thin..Even those you claim like you, are having second thoughts !..You need to regroup, because if you aren't careful, you won't even get 'street cred' ! (and believe me, that is your only chance at winning ANYTHING at all !) :o Now go ahead and crank up your 'broken record' AGAIN !..Jeeeeeeese, you are beyond boring..:boring2:

Maybe you should try drugs ? It may make you play better than her ! :o

Really? If you win it is "epic" and if you lose you "get street cred"? But for Lou it's a no-win situation?

Hmm, maybe I can agree with you because whether Lou wins or loses, you have made it abundantly clear that you will never stop flapping your gums and writing essays that explain why he is still crap and you are amazing...like you said all along, 1000 times over before the match.

FWIW I respect that you are both stepping up and gambling and look forward to seeing the match if possible. I even respect some trash talk. But, holy crap dude. It's the same thing over, and over and over and over and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over.

Is that so? Tons huh. I bet you can't post a list of people who don't like me that goes beyond twenty members out of the 40k+

I bet I could get 20 people to write down real life stories about why they don't like Lou.

The more I read on here, I think the pot may be calling the kettle black a little too often.

It seems that YOU may be more obsessed than the BOTH of THEM.

I think most of these threads and posts generate some sort of interest to some people, but it is the SAME people constantly attacking or belittling someone else.

You got 15-4 and the breaks in verbal warfare grandpa. You're certainly not worth the time, I can tell were in different brackets. You're not stiking me as an educated man.

But to clear a few things up for you...

Apparently in your day you not only walked up hill both ways to school, they they also didn't use sarcasm. "Bonus ball pro" is a joke...

I'm not friends or enemies with JB. I doubt I'll bet either way or even watch even being 30 min from my house.

I've never posted in NPR and I dont think I've said a word in an aiming thread in a year. You can however catch me in the action forum giving up the best of it giving my money away... So certainly not a nit. So, you sure as shit got me clocked wrong gramps.

And over.


And over and over. We are not playing for who should be quiet. All this started because Lou acted like god's gift to pool and belittled anyone who spoke up in favor of Hal's aiming systems.

With me though he picked the wrong person to bully.

I already got "street cred" for betting my own against Lou. I already got props for standing up to this guy and getting him to the table.

So yeah, the fact of it is that I am already a winner regardless of whether I beat him or not. As for flapping my gums (or my keys in this instance) what's it to you? Did I make you open this thread? Did I make you read it? I don't think so so why are you letting it bother you so much?

Seem the only one flapping their gums here is you...someone who doesn't have a penny on the match and who has nothing to do with the dispute. Lou hurt a lot of folks with his comments over the years so why don't you simply stay out of it? Why don't you direct you comments to SJD who is the one on the attack. I was discussing the shot I took because I thought it was a nice creative one wroth discussing.

I didn't bring Lou into it. So keep your facts straight.

No hard feelings. Bring a lot of money. Guess no one wants to bet on me? The minimum bet is $2000 if anyone wants to bet with me.

He's certainly not edumacated, Cleary, as evidenced by his posting/writing style. (I love the use of "apostrophe 's'" on all pluralized items. Might've gotten a bit of Polygrip under that apostrophe key.)

And he DEFINITELY clocked you bad -- pretty slow on the sarcasm uptake (in that department, he makes Gomer Pyle look like Jesse Owens ;) ).

But his posts definitely serve an entertainment purpose, so it's not all bad. ;)

Verbally fighting with him is like playing basketball with a retarded 3rd grader, I'm gonna win, obviously, but its hard to feel good about it.
