I wonder a Cuetec contact brings with it other than free cues and shirts. How much do these guys get paid for pimpin' cues? $30k/yr?? More/less?
Should the live streamer have stopped filming Billy's match when the verbal back-and-forth began?
- Thread starter JAM
- Start date
That kind of $$ would keep me from acting like a jackoff on camera. For a little while anyway.
Shane is Shane...he deserves everything he gets and much more.
Well let's see how ticket sales go; Earl and Billy, drunk, pissed off, unchained. Probably no sales to the first three rows.
I didn’t even know Billy was a cue tech rep until I saw their press release. I thought he played revo.
Looking at cuetechs page I only found Shane and Florian.

It’s tough to answer. In big budget sports they have rules and best practices and someone making those calls on the spot. In hokey they allow fighting and show it. In baseball when a fan runs on the field they purposely don’t show it, whereas in the past they used to.
In streaming pool there is neither manpower or budget to man the cameras and make these calls. I put no blame or responsibility on the streamer in this case, for leaving it on, or if he had shut it down.
Maybe in the future if there is an accepted practice the streamer could have some guidance. But as BB says pool is all Wild West cowboys, from the players to the production companies to the fans. I’d prefer it stay this way.

how would they offend each other?
Earl says Billy is ugly
Billy calls Earl F.F.
is that the entire show
Imagine if Billy really went off the rails or what if Rob decided to fight back and the camera was off. Once that camera is rolling it should never be turned off.
Or protect your employer (by not hurting their brand). I hope Billy makes a quick comeback, but he deserves to be fired from Cuetec.
I have seen many top players Gamble without all that drama.
The funny thing to me is the filming of the gambling to begin with. In these parts, gambling like that is most definitely illegal in itself.
There is nowhere that you'll get arrested for a wager between two individuals.
Organized gambling, with the facility taking a cut and laying wagers on the outcome, is illegal in 49 states to some degree
It's not just between two people if there are side bets. Bars in Chicago get busted for Super Bowl squares and strip cards. Hell, one bar I went to got busted for Liar's Poker.
Sure, but if you and another patron wagered $50 on the Super Bowl, there's nothing illegal about it
Yeah. The hiccup out here is the liquor sales. You can't "gamble" unless it's state sponsored (poker machines). I mean you can do it if you're subtle about it. Now for establishments outside of Chicago that have poker machines, no gambling of any sort is allowed (except the machines). You cannot even have dice or cards out, even if there's no wagering. Most bar owners make very good money from the poker machines so they do not want to risk losing that license.
Are you actually aware of side betting or is your statement more to drill down into what could be?
