Therese vs. Mercedes

Steve; You remind me of Andy Kaufman, maybe we can get a wrestling ring for them too. Are you sure you didn't work in a carnival at one time. you make a good BARKER!

One thing I am sure of, you have not done much GAMBLING in your life, it takes TWO people to have a WAGER, not just BARKING we "FINALLY have a bet", but just to appease you, I'll let you lay me the same odds I offered you. You take Mazin and lay me 8-5 on the money, as long as they play MORE than 1 game, and they can play 15 pts., 20 pts., 25 pts., ect..ect.

I really do think your trying to stimulate and support 3 cushion billiards in the US, but this "Barnum & Baily" approach IMHO is the wrong avenue. How many pool players in this country do you think know who Therese, Mercedes, or even Mazin Shooni is?, maybe 2% if that. This is the pool where we ALL will draw NEW players from, 98% of all 3 cushion players come from a pocket billiards background, you just don't grab any SMUCK off the street and ask if they want to learn 3 cush, they'll look at you like you're from planet MONGO!

What's needed in 3 cushion is QUALIFIED people to educate pool players in the rooms ACROSS the country where a billiard table is available in thier local room. I proposed this type of idea 25 years ago when I changed my style of game to the ABA in an open letter in the Billiards Digest. Naturally the usual answers, NO money, NO time to devote, NO sponsers, same old BS, you know.

What Paul Frankel is doing is a start with the matches, what also is needed at that venue is to have those players contribute information in the form of clinics inbetween the matches to TEACH the game to newcomers not just try to hightlight thier talents. In this day and age people still like to be entertained, but mostly with the high tech age, people really want to be INFORMED, and that's what's needed to create NEW players, not side show acts!

As I've become Pre-Golden age, I realize we really don't live forever and the clock is ticking. So her is My proposal to Anyone, group or room owner where 3 cushion billiards tables are present. I'll be available for EDUCATIONAL clinics with at least 6 students for NO FEE, Just my EXPENSES PAID, Air Fare, Ground Transportation, Lodging and Food.

Let's see if we have any REALLY concerned supporter's for this Facinating, captivating, and sadly to say a declining game!

Tap! Tap! Bill.

I think Billiards Suppliers like Traffic Control, PC Billiards, Carom Corner and maybe Olhausen Table Co, should take you up on the offer. It would be cheaper Than Flying Therese to the USA.

Pool Player vs 3 Cushion Player are the matches needed.

Also those Billiards Suppliers who Maintenance / Supply items to College and University. Could get you to hold clinic at their Rec Room with Carom table.

Get the Juniors, before Female involve

Jeez, I snooze for one day and I missed a boat load of witty banter here!

steve, i'd like to add to my slow boat comment... okay so if i were there live streaming it (assuming i had a nice sat link up to the mother ship via this slow boat to china)... and the pitbull were chewing up the chihuahua... then mercedes were to challange me into a duo.. i think i would be the puppy chow! haha

no offense to mercedes - she's a great person (and she was nice enough to donate to me during our battle of the ages in "red ball" lol)

don't worry bill - me and mr. Vigma are A-Okay - lol - we're all friends here!

btw... little plug for myself again... gotta up the traffic to my site!!!
www.caromcorner.com
give me your opinions/suggestions/wants/needs thanks guys!
 
That's Mr "Barker Vigma" Anderzen to you Dru!

I'm kidding Bill!...I'm really kidding Bill!

On a serious note things are looking up. I will share the news when the committment is made with a leading sponsor for this exhibition match tour.

Stay tune.
 
Could this be the way Bill feel when coming to women gambling.

Counter offer

Bill.

Here is my counter offer (since you offered to go anywhere anytime and teach). If Therese loses, I cover your airfare and lodging up to Grand Rapids. I won't pay for your food cause I hear you pack it away!

You put on a clinic live-streamed by Steve Elzinga and Curly(they already offered) before the Man vs. Woman U.S. vs. Europe match.

If you lose (a more likely scenario) and Mazin loses, you cover your own airfare to Grand Rapids and lodging but I cover your food at the Taco Bell drive-up window. You put on a clinic lived streamed by Steve and Curly buy you buy them dinner.

15 pt. matches 3 out of 5.

Are you a scared!

Steve; Is there something in the water up in MI, that we have a commincation problem?

When I say to you, I'll take the offer that I offerd you, that means: I'LL TAKE THERESE and YOU lay ME 8-5 on the MONEY, YOU HAVE MAZIN!!!

I want to BET REAL MONEY!, not you pay this, I pay this stuff. If you would like me to come to GR and hold a clinic for at least 6 people, all you have to do is agree to the offer I presented!

Honestly Steve, you're not goin to out smart me, all you're going to do is GET PRACTICE! This is the kind of BS I try to avoid trying to promote the game. If this is how it's going to start, maybe I should just crossoff MI all together. These are the "side show" antics I'm referring to!

If you put in as much effort with this useless banter, into REALLY promoting the game, I think we would all be off to a good start!

Steve, I'm sure you're a charming guy, but I really don't have time for NON productive chatter on the forum.

Let's call it a day on this subject, like I said, "All You're Going To Get is PRACTICE"

Steve says: I am not going to mud wrestle with you! I can't win that battle.

You win.

You are always welcome to Michigan. You have many friends here that support you including myself. Perhaps someone else is happy to accept your wager.

Friends?

No PROB!

I hate to say it Bill, but it looks like this "non productive chatter" is getting some exposure here... just look at the # of views on this thread (over 1,000!!). It seems to me that this "Bet" could easily go under the helpful promotion category. I think you guys should figure out a good set of conditions to get all of this to happen (therese v mercedes and mazin v therese plus the live clinic). and honestly, steve is on to something with the friendly wagers here. if you guys want to lay down cash money bling bling on the side and behind the scenes then go for it! but ultimately i think that the idea of billiards being a gentleman's sport should remain this way. that's not to say that side bets don't happen constantly but a better representation of the gentlemanly sport would be to take more consideration to steve's friendly wagers in the name of keeping the peace. anyways, if both sides can't agree then i guess it is all pointless........

p.s. i'm not on anybody's side here - just some suggestions from the peanut gallery!
 
They starting to sound /read like these two guys in this Shoe ad

Maybe They should drink a toast postkiss.jpg

Therese.......Mazin........Mercedes.......the balls in your court!

What say you? A exhibition match tour leading up to or after the World Cup/Nationals?


As Judge Smails said in Caddy Shack " We're waiting"?
 
I am not afraid to compete against men, so yes I will take the challenge! I think it would be fun. So I hope we can make the arrangements!
