He came with the shots and outran the spot. No disrespect to anyone, but I think Alex is the undisputed best One Pocket player in the world
I really enjoyed watching them full out lay on the table. Chuckle every time.This 36-29 win for Alex is the exact same score as their match from last year.
Last year they played using same rules, same race and same same spot.
Only thing different was getting up on the table

He won’t side bet with me.You're saying he wont gamble at backgammon with you?
Side bet meaning what?He won’t side bet with me.
He wants me to bet on him.
He plays good but…..
I know you know better but here…Side bet meaning what?
Him playing someone and you betting on it, cubing, ???
I don't know better. Never heard of sidebetting on backgammon, so I just wanted clarification.I know you know better but here…
He’s playing someone for $50 a point, I walk up and ask what’s going on, they tell me, I ask Alex “bet another $25 a point?”
That scenario happens a few times. Sometimes I don’t ask to side bet.
Finally, I ask and then ask Alex to side bet and he tells me “Go fug yourself”.
Do that help you?
I’ve known him since he was a kid and started coming to Detroit. We are friends.
You’ve been around, I swear I would have bet you’ve seen it happen.I don't know better. Never heard of sidebetting on backgammon, so I just wanted clarification.
I posted a link to a few books about the gambling side and tournaments, both are good books.

It really is. It has to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen in pool. One would think players like this could play left handed. You wouldn`t see Ronnie O laying down on a table.It is so completely Fn dumb.![]()
