What the biggest spot you have seen, given or received??

Giving 5-6-7-8-9 means that opponent wins if they make any of those five balls.

and the ref to the break plus 3-5-7,8,9 ...would he win if 3,5,7,8,9 were made on the break (or again that might be NOT on the break ,probably negociated )

Depends if they were wild or not. Ususally it is negotiated, although by racking two of those balls just under the 1 ball the chance of making either ball becomes microscopic. When I was getting spotted the 7 out they were wild but they were always racked under the 1 on each side and I never made them.

No nothing like that I am telling you the pro would play jam up!!! He is local to me I see him give up all kinds of weight!! I mean he is just lights out!! The guy he was playing would think he was playing a safe and the the pro would make another 10-12 balls it was unreal!!

I will have to take your word for it, but it is beginning to sound like a Johnnie Irish story. As Danny D. once said, " The longer Johnnie is dead, the better he plays".

Macguy,
That's silly. What you meant was it is beginning to sound like a Mark Tadd story.

I have been having alot of luck breaking from the left side,with low left english
,hitting the "1" ball dead center...making the right hand ball under the "1"
( one of the balls of which you speak ) in the corner pocket under my belly.

Another question (wrong thread I know) but what does the term "Ring Game" mean. Is like the skins game they recently held on espn,or is it just more than 2 persons shooting in the same game ?

I've seen 12-3 at one pocket. In the 14.1 league I play in, the largest theoretical spot for the players currently playing is 140-20 or so. I've had to give up 140-25. In a 9-ball league, I had to spot 10-2.
At 3-cushion, a player I know gave up 3-no-count to someone who played 3-C all the time.
