T-Rex vs The Lion!! Who do you guys like?
- Thread starter terryhanna
- Start date
Alex has to make 9 Balls in his pocket to win and Tony only has to make 8 balls in his pocket to win every game.
Scott Frost and Jeremy Jones now doing commentary.
I'm no expert at one pocket but I thought it was usually the first person to get 8 balls to 7 who wins? Why are they playing as if there are 17 balls in the rack? Or am I missing something here?
Alex is spotting Tony 9-8 so yes, they play like 17 balls, basically Alex starts as though he already owes a ball

Do they spot the ball after he makes it like a penalty? I read something about Scott Frost giving some guy ridiculous weight, like 18-4, and I think he had to break a second rack in the middle of the game. Also, isn't T-Rex a one pocket specialist? I wouldn't think he would need a spot, although Alex is phenomenal at all games.
I think I bet on Alex too, I need to check. I don’t see a clear winner in this match.I’ll take Alex for 200, if available. Fatboy has first shot at it, but I do not believe he took it. Let me know.
Thx man
When you’re playing 18/4 the player spots balls until there’s enough to make up for the overage. 18/4 you need 21 (18+4)-1=21balls in regular 1P you need 15 balls (8+8)-1=15 so scott has to spot 6 balls. And guys his speed can spot pretty good players that much. It’s not a carnival hustle.
Great match!!

No, it's like they're playing with 16 balls, the score can NEVER be 9 - 8 which equals 17. The score can be 8 to 7(both on the hill) with one ball left
Correct - I'm talking in terms of the spot. he spots one because a 9-8 (17) spot is one over an 8-8(16)

Thanks for the updates, much appreciated
Anyone that thinks 9-8 doesn't mean much, I find that comment a huge ''tell''.
so far and from past experience it seems alex doesnt think it means much
just sayin
9/8 is enough of a spot that Tony is willing to get up there and play the World's Best One Pocket player 
High stakes, post up the cash and play for it

It'll be interesting to see how many of these games were influenced by the handicap. My guess is not many.
