He spotted you in that eight ball game
What was the spot? Games on the wire?
That's what playing the "Ghost" means.
Tedder never missed. If he missed the Ghost won the set. I guess you could say he gave the Ghost 9 games on the wire.
He can play that game again and again if he wants that's a ridiculous game and the thread winner in my opinion.
How did that work out? Did Ginky just hook the guy so bad that he couldn't hit the low ball if he couldn't get out?
I can't think of someone I wouldn't bet on the ghost in that game. Hell, I'd let SVB play it. Race to 10, ghost gets 9 on the wire?
Yeah... I'm betting the ghost against the world in that one.
A pro playing a decent but not good player 14-4 in one hole. Yep the pro kicked his butt. The pro kept the guy going to 4 locked down the entire time, even if it meant taking an intentional, and he took plenty of them. That was when I learned that intentional fouls are your best friend if your opponent really has you by the short hairs.
It was funny as I was fairly new getting back into the game after a long lay off (20 years) and I told the guy sitting beside me that "that guys is the luckiest man I've every seen" to which he replied "do you know who that is"? It was Cliff in his prime.

I'm not a one pocket player, so perhaps I don't fully appreciate the game- but I've always thought that the intentional foul was one of the biggest flaws in the game- there should be a higher penalty for taking one.
Stretching the requirements a bit, I didn't "see" any of these games, but got the
info from stand up guys who did:"
Clem Metz spotted a beginner - if he drove the 9 Ball to a rail he won the game...
of course Clem won.
The owner of a small room in Springfield, OH would play any of the young guys
who came to his room Snooker, he shot with a small wooden CHAIR. Hit the CB
with the foot of one of the legs...
Eddie Taylor told on TV, how, to get action he was forced to play good bank players,
Taylor would turn his head away, looking back over his shoulder as he hit the CB.

it's not totally difficult to run 10 racks in a row with "ball in hand"
Amen....although it's not totally difficult to run 10 racks in a row with "ball in hand" for a player of Shane's caliber. I used to play it on the 10' table and give up 7/5 on the money (each game)....last time I played that game I got 10 games ahead in 45 minutes.....I'm not sure how many I ran in a row though.

I can only imagine Tedder got some serious odds on the money.
Would you bet against Shane if he got 10 tries? 20?
As for the Ginky spot, there must be more to that aswell, anything
even close to an average break will drive the 1 to a rail.

I went to Alabama to trap Tedder a few years ago
Yes, it's not possible to do it consistently, but be careful, in OK City they gave Johnny Archer one try and he ran 9 and barely messed up in game 10. Depending on the table I'd say a champion player could run 10 in a row in a matter of a few hours.
