I've seen a GOOD local bar table player give a bar banger the 4,5 last 2 and all the breaks for $1000.

Actually, it was when Mike Hiden played Doc, lol. Do you remember Doc?
I once played a bartender, who worked at the poolhall. We only played for a beer per game, though, but I gave him a big spot. If he managed to make 2 balls in a row, also on the break, he would win the game.
Another spot I have heard of was a friend of mine, an A-player, who got almost the same spot from Efren for 100 $, race to 11, when he was in Angeles City about 10 years ago. If my friend made one ball playing 9-ball, he won the rack. Efren won 11-9.

An A player couldnt get out in front of that spot?
He must have been more star struck that anything else.....
Give me that spot and the breaks ... and would play the world for whatever..
I have gotten:
1. Break, ball-in-hand, 6 out and the last 6 (Won 2, Lost 6)
2. If I make three balls during a rack I win. (Won 1)
3. Other player gets break and the hand span, if I drive a ball to the rail I win. (Lost 1)
4. Break and the 4 out. (Lost 1)
5. Spotted 9 games in race to 11. (Won 1 score 11-10)
6. In one pocket: my fouls don't count and I get 10-3. (Lost 4, Won 0)
I can't think of anymore right now, but I know there are more I've gotten.

I forgot to mention that Efren had the breaks.
Didn't Efren and Amarillo Slim used to play one pocket 15-2 or something like that?
Best odds on the money... not exactly wild spot. Guy was down $3500 to us and if he lost the next game he had to sign over his new car. It was probably worth $20,000. So odds on the money were over 4:1 and we were the favorite. What's worse is we won and my player refused the guy's car. We took everything else he had and only net about $1000. So he really got a free roll on us and a free $6000.
That person probably barely knew which end to shoot with...lolzRoy Steffensen said:
Frankie Hernandez once gave the 1-out to a friend of mine. And won!
When I worked at the pool room I played our janitor type person $1/game and gave him the 1-ball and the breaks. Everyt ime he broke he sent the cueball sailing though and never eased up on the speed or kept it on the table.
Ended up winning $20 in about an hour and almost felt bad for the guy since he just couldn't comprehend how to keep the cue ball from going off the table.
