So now you want to substitute Chris Bartrum for McNugget. Gee, you have heart.billychips said:How about we agree on where the cue ball needs to land, and I will fly out to LA with Chris Bartram and you can have action. Since you don't carry all of your money with you, Ill just bring a suitcase full and you can match it with an official bank check. McWhorter would probably dog it for 20k if he had to make it and get shape 9 out of 10 times. A true champion would not. McWhorter would have did the same thing and passed the shot back. The point he was trying to make was that the TD should have stopped it. Oh well, he didnt. It was still a great tournament. I just find it kind of funny that all the people on this forum love to run their mouth to Jamie about gambling. It sounds to me like he was one of the only people to bet decent at the whole tournament. I also saw a thread on the action report where he and Corey could not be any more direct about Corey playing Jesse Bowman with the 8 ball. All they had to do was post. It doesnt matter who Jesse's stakehore is, or how much money he has got. Believe me, Corey can get staked for about as much money as anyone in the world, so that is irrelevent. Corey was also supposed to play Danny Harriman an ahead set of one pocket. Harriman left town. Let me know if anyone wants to let a champion shoot that shot!

McNugget bet that the, no offense Mike Banks-as we are friends, worst player left in the tournament wouldn't win. Yep, heart. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find out the bet wasn't even real.
And the tournament director SHOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED IT. It is the players option to shoot or pass back. Whether he thinks he can get out or not. You and your boy McNugget are the ones that are delusional & just dont get it. The only time, in a ring game, that a player has to make an legitimate attempt is when it is HIS TURN at the table. It was not Shane's turn. It was his option. If you and McNugget can use multi syllable words like delusional then I am sure you know what the word 'option' means. What he did was smart. What McNugget, and now, you think is not.
