Positive thoughts??

[djkx1]

I am trying to become a person who looks at the positives in life a bit more.
No, i won't try to put a positive spin on KT and the IPT, simply because I can't.

However I wonder what would happen if all those of us who threw money at the IPT, knowing it was destined to fail, would be willing to 'risk' the same amount on something less risky. I mean if we were more willing to support the WPC and Matchroom, or other sponsors. Perhaps Accu-Stats, US open,DCC etc. I know a lot of people do, but I wonder what would happen if everyone that gave KT money would spread it around to these folks. Would that generate enough revenue for these companies that it would elevate the payouts and the sports as a whole?

Maybe we can learn to be more willing to part with our dollars, even without promises of multi-million dollar payouts. The IPT got more than it's share of cash with these lies, but if we all volunteered our support of the rest of the industry, would it be enough?

I, for one, intend on being more supportive of the industry, in hopes that it will be elevated to the point that pool won't need or want another KT or IPT debacle. That might be the only positive I see in all of this. Just curious what everyone else thinks

Im sorry but IMHO your entire premise is incorrect. Nobody threw money at the KT. If "all the money" that was thrown at KT was given to the rest of the industry, it would be peanuts all around. If money had been thrown at him, he would pay the players and keep the gravy train going. That is not what happened.

Nostroke, would it be unfair to say that hundreds of thousands were given to KT through qualifiers and membership sales based on promises that were false? Perhaps I just see it differently than you do. Thanks for your opinion.

Positive Thought: I'm positive the players aren't getting paid.

Can't be done here!!!!!!!!!

You'll get lynched starting a thread like this in here.
Next thing you know you'll be on the blacklist.
Take it from me. I've been positive and I'm positive I'm on that list.
Pretty soon you'll be called names by people that that hate that word.
I'm positive of this!
Good luck.
