Shane/Shaw Action Match

BRussell said:
I was exaggerating, but only a little. It still doesn't make sense for someone like SVB or Shaw to bet $10,000 of their own money on a close to 50-50 pool match.

That doesn't mean that they won't do it. They will also get a PPV cut and appearance fee. So while the match might be 50/50, the risk to reward might be 8K to win 12K.

Assuming ppv and appearance fee about 2K.

Also, odds at the casino isnt good, but shane has been seen at the craps table.
 
LOl Shaw is playing great right now no doubt but taking on SVB for big cash??

Shit he got robbed by Bergman when he was supposed to be stealing.

He did beat Morris in action match at derby but wasnt convincing.

EUROS have lot to prove in the action booth i think as they have had a miserable record Appleton the biggest ATM

Glad to see Karl Boyes taking on Oscar at the Derby for 20k finally get to see what he like in the grease after he smack talked for years. I think he will play skylar next if he wins against oscar.

Right, and it might be worth it even just to prove yourself. And I've always heard people say that Shane is good with his money, but if he's playing craps, I guess not. Maybe he's better than the average pool player. ;)

Would you please direct me to this savings account that gives 10% return over a couple (2) years? If there is a savings account like this hedge funds would run out of business instantly

Yep. I bought a 5 year CD that pays 2% APR. But then there is zero risk.
 
For the sake of argument, these two played a couple/three years ago. !0 ball, race to 100, $10k (i think?).

Not too sure about the actual bet, but SVB won.

Why let the" already happened" reality derail a good theoretical thread?

Oscar taking on Karl Boyes ?!!
Really ?!
Im not a big fan of boyes due to his little girl attitude.
But imo , not goona be close , Karl will rob rape and ram Oscar bad.. i mean real bad.

No offense , Oscar's a nice stand up guy which is what this sport needs but i hope he's getting some decent spot .
Short race its prob gonna be 50-50, long race to 21 or 30 , karl boyes gonna win easily.
Karl's game pretty strong taking 3rd in world 9 ball years ago and runner up at last yr open.
 
Karl Boyes 781 fargo vs 767 Oscar.

I hate Karl, but I would think hes a good favorite here.

Good point !
Shaw's my fav player for his run n gun aggresive style but sadly imo he's gonna need 10 on the wire for a race to hundred against Shane in a race to 100 to even make it competitive.
Shaw's the better shot maker but Shane run 10 ball back more frequently n consistenly than Shaw.
Shane also has better safety gamen superior break which is a key factor a long race.
Short race to 21, Shaws a favourite like a 100 m sprinter.

Oh and stay off those diamond tables , Shane lives in thise diamond table then his does at home. Just saying.
 
Shaw has really figured out the 10b break this yr.

I no longer see Shane having an edge on him there.

Ilove my american countrymen but if these matches(especially oscar) playing karl even,i,m gonna empty out on the englishman. I don,t like him but he has that killer instinct (in mosconi cup anyways) and i think he will get the money.

I'll take some odds on Oscar and let you steal my money. Remember you said, Karl is stealing and will win easily so make sure your odds reflect that statement.

They are playing races to 17. Best out of 5 sets, wins the money.

For all of you that make up your mind with Fargo ratings -- compare DeChaine to Oscar and put in the fair match for say a race to 17. Anyone that wants to empty out on DeChaine after they see the spot that Oscar is suppose to get, please let me know.
 
Shaw and SVB have already played a race to 100 or was I dreaming that I bought that PPV? Shane won but Shaw made a hell of a comeback in the match. It was fun to watch. But I think it was an exhibition match. For the actually cash I give the advantage to SVB.
