Not with the "magic" of the winner breaks format playing against a champion.
1. The champ will make a ball on the break 3 times more often.
2. When making a ball on the break, the champ is ALWAYS the favorite...even if he has to push. (when the banger has to push he will lose the rack at least 70% of the time.
3. The banger will string 5-6 in a row (not necessarily B&R) maybe once every 50 racks even with the 4 ball. The champ will do so twice as often.
4. If the champ makes the weight on his break, the banger has no weight.
5. If the banger's weight ball is tied up after his break...he has no weight.
Do the math!! (-:
Roadies get mad at me whenever I bring this up but winner breaks is just an old hustle move that swings the odds of winning heavily in favor of the better player.

What I am confused about is last night JCIN said the game was $100 game, nothing frozen up - then $200 a game, nothing frozen up. Today JCIN reports that Shane won $500 and they were playing sets, 5 ahead. Now this other guy 'who was there' reports Shane won $2Gs?
well
it look as scooter pulled out more than 5h both times i thought............but maybe i read the money wrong....just thought that was what it was.....wasnt trying to miss inform

That was a GENERAL comment about winner breaks and OBVIOUSLY wasn't specific to the shane/scooter match.
I didn't think that qualifying the OBVIOUS was necessary...but of course, in your case, it often is.

But hey...you got your "Swipe AV8" in...so I hope you feel better now.

it was
shane ended up 1k i ended up 500 it was 300 a game pay after 5! the fiorst 2 sets were 250 a game pay after 5! they split the first 2 sets! shane won the next set and scooter started woofing about cory sticking it in shanes azz! shane just said call him! here use my phone! tell him to stop at every atm on the way here! then scooter beat the sleeve out of 1k and he wasnt playing like a banger in those 2 sets!

Those of us that wear hearing aids are not deaf .. otherwise, we wouldn't need the hearing aid
We are just hearing "impaired" or "challenged".But we do have benefit of simply going on "mute". I wear in-the-canal hearing aids that's mostly not visible. Sometimes, I leave the hearing aids in the ears and simply unplug the battery to have custom fitted earplugs.

My SBE Trip Report <---------- THREAD TOPIC.
Watchez post...
"Nice post
---have you ever been to the airport in Detroit? I can't see how Philly can be worse, although Detroit is remodeling theirs."
And the Detroit Airport has WHAT...exactly...to do with a trip to SBE???
ROFLMAO!!

I'm not sure I follow your comment. The 1 ball and wing ball are the two most frequently pocketed on the break. The balls behind the one are the least frequently pocketed...except the 9 ball.
Assuming the opponent racks the balls, the weight ball would never be placed in the wing position because that would be a significant advantage to the breaker getting the weight.
Similarly, the person getting the weight who is racking for the opponent doesn't want the opponent to pocket the weight on the break so he would never place the weight ball at the wing position.
Placing the weight ball(s) behind the 1 ball is therefore done without negotiations and are placed there because as noted above, those balls are among the least frequently pocketed on the break...except the 9 Ball.

Jim

I like Shane a lot and think he's the best player out there right now, but Corey doesn't need to stop by every ATM if they are going to play rack your own 9 ball. All he needs to do is stop by my house. You guys might need to stop by the ATM. Woof.

Not necessarily if the breaker gets the speed right you can make that ball behind the one ball cross side often. The other place is at the bottom, but that one will sometimes go one rail back in one of the upper corner pockets. Racking the ball in one of the back two places before the bottom ball is often the best place to rack to prevent the ball from going.
