What does betting have to do with anything? Why is it always betting with you?
Don't over analyze the video, like I said originally. People who are new to the game could look at the curtain video and believe that it's such an amazing feat that CTE must be awesome. Maybe it is, but it is misleading someone who doesn't know much about anything to say this curtain demonstration (I won't call it a trick) proves anything.
I KNOW Stan could have done it before learning CTE because, well, I don't use CTE and I could do it, too. Also, Stan is a professional player and can make all kinds of shots that I'm sure I can't. That doesn't mean CTE works, and until someone has a clear explanation of the magic step (the one none of us really understands) then I have to remain a skeptic.
No, you could do a FEW set up shots with a little practice. You know the whole blind squirrels and nuts thing?
I see players make incredible kick shots all the time without knowing any kind of kicking system. Can they do it again? Sure in about 200 tries. While the guy who knows a good kicking system will make the same shot FAR more often.
Your commentary assumes that you KNOW what Stan was and was not capable of throughout his life, you assume he was a professional pool player, he is not and was not. You essentially spend the entire time laying your own presumptions on top of untrue statements about CTE.
The fact is you PROBABLY CANNOT do what Stan does with any close degree of consistency because you don't know how Stan does what he does. You ASSUME that you can because you're a decent player, at least you look like a decent player. But the fact is, and the reason I am always willing to BET, is that I know a lot of good and great players who can't make the shots Stan does by feel as consistently as he does them by system. It's that simple.
I will be more than happy to give you the same test I gave Stan. I will challenge you with about a hundred shots and we will see how many of them you can make within three tries. Stan did most of his in one, many in two and a few in three.
You think Stan can do all these shots BECAUSE he has simply spent a lot of time on the table. You're dead wrong.
Stan can take any shot and give me the "key" - in the form of a string of letters and numbers and I can go to the table and OWN that shot in less than three tries. OWN IT, as in from that point on I will always aim it the right way. No practicing it a hundred times, no fudging, no fidgeting, just getting the perception and the coming in the right way and I am aimed right.
That's what you don't get and what you never will get.
You're completely confused about Stan's Lessons in Perception because you refuse to actually LEARN the method. Instead you think you're smart enough that you should be able to figure it out through the videos you have seen online. But you're not smart enough based on your comments.
Look I am glad you are doing these videos even if you're doing them maliciously. And yes I say maliciously because of the language you use. You're doing the same thing all the other negative people have done, putting words in our mouths as if we say this is some kind of magic bullet method. You don't have to do that but you chose to do it.
But I am glad you're doing them because it gives us even more of a platform to reach more people. When you put something up that can be refuted we will refute it.
