. Over the years, Mr. Bill (Johnson) and I made many friendly wagers. Often around a pool game. He was a hoot.
We used to flip a coin for $20. .... We kidded Bill because he paid for every one of them. We also would be a buck or three on who would make a ball (say the 5 ball) BEFORE the rack was broken. That was kinda interesting at times.
I miss him - he was a good friend.

Mark,
Though you don't actually offer any evidence that anyone from Alaska has ever won a pool match; I am pleased to hear that you are considering stepping up to play for the Betmore Cup. Please do not neglect a little racking practice.
I recall Bill telling me that you were one of the world's greatest coin flippers (no joke), and he ruefully described his string of losses in that area. He did advise that I never flip coins with you. The other types of side wagers are always of interest.
