I've read a few interviews about Danny Basavich recently and he mentions that he caught a break by having a guy that went by "007" give him a line on all the places to go on the road, who to play, and even how good the played. Here is a quote from the article on Nightline: "He caught the luckiest break of all when he got a call from a mysterious stranger. The man, nicknamed "007," offered to spot Basavich valuable information in exchange for a cut of the winnings. "He had this book that was [as thick as] three or four phone books, full of pool halls and names of players, and how good they played," said Basavich." source: Nightline Article This guy in return got a piece of everything Kid won on the road. I imagine this guy has probably made a nice living by offering this service to many other road players. My questions: Who is this rogue master of pool information who is making bank by giving by giving road players this advice? How far reaching is it? Have all the top road players/pros used this guys services? Is he a member of AZ? Are his books up to date? Are any of you in his book? Is it Billy Incardona or Jay Helfert? :D Would it be surprisng if it were? Possibly Terry Ardeno with all of the pool info he has been keeping over the years... :eek: How does one get in contact with this guy?
