Do's anyone know of the outcome or if the match-up between Ronnie Wiseman and Chris Bartrum, up in Detroit, is still going on?

whats the game? i thought ronnie "everything's funny when u're winning big money" moved down to FL. he went back to detroit for this game? when was it supposed to be?

hey ronnie, if you read this, i finally found the break cue you gave me, i can ship it as soon as i find your address.
 
Ronnie did move to FL and then moved back to Detroit.

The game was a 20 ahead set of 9-Ball for a very large sum, and after two days, they broke even.

At least that's what I was told...
 
Jesus... 20 ahead? How the hell are you supposed to get that far ahead without an extreme mismatch? Maybe they should have just ran a marathon, since one person dropping would be the only way to win either match.
 
Yes, 20 ahead is quite a long match. From what I understand, Ronnie was stuck 17 games I think at one point, and then had Chris stuck a few games the next day. Pretty crazy, huh?

Hi Don! I miss everyone in Detroit very much, but I must admit, Atlanta seems great! Hope you're doing well too!

20 Ahead must be crazy, whats wrong with race to 25 sets, can only quit if two up or when the loser has had enough?

Madness IMO
 
they broke even

I staked Chris in this match. They actually played for a couple of days and broke even. If anybody would like to bet on Ronnie, get in contact with him, because we would like to bet more, a lot more. They played for a considerable sum, but the window is still wide open if anyone likes Wiseman's action.

There are a few reasons for a 20 ahead IMO:

> Close match up, and 1 player feels he's in better physical condition, or the other will run out of steam, or shoot up in the air.

> The longer you play, the better the chance of the better player coming out on top. Same reason old time straight pool players liked 1000 point finals over 2 days.

There's a couple reasons for ya, I'm sure there's plenty more....Gerry
 
i think ronnie likes the long ahead matches is that he can win by outsmarting people instead of outshooting them also.
