I've been reading this from the beginning, but maybe I missed something. Didn't I read that Dippy got assaulted and robbed (attempted, at least) by a thug because of this? I'm not saying right/wrong of the situation, but if Dip could prove that guy was a hired hand - the only loser is Scott (for assault and attempted robbery). The rest is he-said, she-said (and is really unfortunate).
There was no robbery and Dippy didnt have a mark on him (I saw him immediately after the "assault") . According to four people I talked to who saw it all no punches were thrown. The whole thing was supposedly on the Cue Club's security video. After an hour of talking with the cops Scott and the other dude walked out. If Dippy was truly robbed and beat up do you think that would of happened?
There was and is a lot going on with this deal. Normally I wouldn't say anything about something like this in public but since both sides have put it out there I have.
Dippy straight air barreled Billy and Scott. That is the bottom line. If he wants to justify it to himself thats on him. Doesn't change the fact he fired the largest air rocket in recent times in the pool world.
Looks to me like Dippy is fine with things as they stand. If I was Billy or Scott I would take the posts he has made here the same way as if he looked me in the eye and said "Fvck you. I am not paying."
Dippy has been playing mind games with Scott leading him on like he was going to pay him only to laugh at him and tell him to get screwed. IMO Scott has shown tremendous restraint.
Dippy knows the truth and so do the people who know what's going on. I hope Scott just walks away and goes about his business. If he stays in Vegas and stews on this situation it probably will not be good for anyone. Sometimes you just take your lumps. But then $60K (Based on Dippy saying he took the truck back which Scott paid $10K for) is one giant ass lump to fade.
Jack the bet and play one more set to settle it.
Stream it so all us railbirds can see if any funny business is going on.
Have Fatboy hold all the cash in his Louis Vuitton bag.
Pat-down Scott before they play to make sure he doesn't have any bars of Irish Spring on him.![]()
Most of what you said had some credence though I don't necessarily agree
but I don't see where you got the idea they were stealing with that spot! As I understand Dave was getting the 4, the breaks and ball in hand after the break, plus 3 games on the wire! Am I right about this? In my opinion Scott outran the nuts, if that was the spot. Had I been there I would have probably gone bust betting on Dave!
You guys are real ambassadors of the sport.
Well you have to knock at least one of them off. You know to send a message the this is the real world of billiards and you don't mess around. At least that's how I explained it to my kids when I sat them down to show them how daddy fell in love with this game and why. I'd also invest in a truck somewhere in the 10k range just to show you got a sense of humor about the whole thing.in the words of jay z,
If i shoot scott im an idiot if he shoots me hes a hero,
whats a dipster to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!
