The Action Challenge

Since there are no time constraints to accomate TV restraints, might I suggest they play 'old school' rules ?
You know, two-shot pushout - ball in hand.

( there's a whole generation that don't know what that is..... ) :)

At least, THINK ABOUT IT. OK ?

I find this to be a very interesting matcup.I wish they were playing in Dallas. If Action can switch locations i'll be more than glad to do the commentary.On your request to play two shot pushout,it would be interesting,but it would lengthen the match to take about 30% longer.On a neutral site like Dallas I would make Cory a -150 Shane +130 favorite.But since their playing in South Dakota,a site that favors Shane a 120/100 bet would be reasonable IMO

I'm getting 6 to 5. You want to lay 150 to 125?


Jay,
I'm surprised that you of all people would miscalculate the odds on a $150 bet at 6/5. His $150 to your $120.

neutral site How to interpret 150/130.

Cory supporters put up $150 to win $100
Shane supporters put up $100 to win $130
fair bet would be Cory a 7/5 favorite

South Dakota 120/100

Cory supporters $120 to win $100
Shane supporters $100 to win $120

Billy it sure would be great to get you up there to do the commentary. I remember watching the Color of Money match over and over and wishing that they had a got you and somebody else besides Mark Wilson and the filipino commentator they had.

You and Jay Helfert would be awesome. Jerry Forsyth would be good as well.

Hopefully something can be worked out to get you guys there.

I think Jay is right.....

120 - 150 is 4-5 (30 x each)

125 -150 is 5-6 (25 x each)

I stand corrected, you and Jay are 100% correct.$150 to $120 is -125to 100 which equates to 5to4. Next time you see me introduce yourself so we can get into some type of action.LOL

I totally understand how you feel,so I would like to counter your proposal. We will meet in South Dakota you make a hidden line for me ,and i'll make a hidden line for you. Then we can make two wagers,you bet me on my line ,i'll bet you on your line. Both lines will be give or take. Now if you truly want to gamble I will accomodate you.:cool: :cool:
 
u got me

I'd put the title to my house, car, and company up on Shane....Corey doesn't stand a chance in hell especially in SD think about it...come on folks...Corey may not even win 60 games...is it on a 9ft? or bar box?

How about you bring your deed, your title, keep your company, and whatever spare cash you can find to south dakota and you got action. Its going to be like Vegas for everyone that likes Shane in this match. "The window will be open." Just step up to the window and post. Lets not woof about it. Lets just see who shows up on those dates with money in hand. Corey will be there, and so will some people that will cover any action against him.

Fatboy,
You seem to know quite a bit about gambling lines,so you know if I make a line you have the advantage. The advantage you have is that you can bet what you want . If you like my line you will probably unload, if you don't like my line you probably wont bet.That seems like something anyone would like to do,including myself.Would you like to make me a line?That is why I proposed the two line proposition,which is totally fair.
Thanks.
 
Actually I like both these guys. I think their good people and great players,so I don't care what player I end up with,providing it's fair. My proposition goes to whomever wants the action. We will trade lines and bet oneanother.I just want to gamble. Or I will make a twenty cent line with a force bet and you can take the player you like.

WRONG! 150 to 125 is correct. 150 to 120 would be laying me 5-4. But thanks anyway. :)

Darnit. Just when I thought I got over for $5 on Jay! (just kidding)
 
Ktown D I got your PM about you taking my offer of my 100 to your 120 with me taking Shane. Please post in here to confirm bet.

You got it man. I normally don't like to lay odds on the cash but I really like Corey to pull this out on a new table with new cloth.

We'll see.

Was a marathon match ever considered? no break at 50 racks? I would love to see whose stroke is still holding up at 20 hours. How will the stream compare to the Shooters events?

FYI, nobody's stroke holds up after 20 hours w/o chemical warfare. That wouldn't make for good tv.
 
well

we thought if they played 2 days with a break we would know who the best player was! and thats what this is all about! i cant wait!

i have lived in vegas for years and know the gig, and i respect you, i have known you since 85 and your great for pool. But i'm sure your aware that whales get a discount at casinos, its done on a case by case basis. If wanted to bet $100 then a $0.20 line is ok, I have booked alot of football before the internet and i love middleing action and I awalys used lines like you its not out of line.

I dont mean any disrespect but if you want to bet high on this match, I would like to do a private deal with you, if not thats cool. For the record I'm on your team when ever your in action, pool needs 50 more guys like you and then we would have a sport. I wish I played good enough to play you, your good action and I respect that.

best regards,

fatbay
