Anyone up for backing a horse in American Pool?

Is Ben still as vocal as he used to be when watching mates play. When Daz Appleton beat Ross McInnes in a large money match I remember Ben being very vocal in his support.

Girgy
Ask Ben if he remembers playing Gangsters a few years ago and Daz throwing a pint over him whilst he was sitting in the hotel bar!, was funny as fook at the time. Just say It was the night Jonno was behind the bar, and put everyone's bill onto BMW's tab!

i am and assume everyone else is still in.

i'm not in of you're going to play some one for the whole stake in game 1.
If you're matching the stake then why don't we say 20% of BR max per game? Would force you to play a decent amount to get to the point of playing for £500 or we could all decide to up stake if you seem to be up to it after a few games.

That's the kind of %age I'd play in one game so we on same wavelength

I've been challenged to a match on Thursday afternoon at the Rack n Roll in Leicester. I'll PM the guys name to anyone interested, but I've seen him play several times. Misses plenty of sitters even in friendly games, never done well on the GB9 tour or tours previous, and has a lot of health cards he throws out when he loses.

He wants to play £200 a man, playing £50 sets until either the money has swung one way or the other, or if time runs out (playing from 1pm to 9pm).

Anyone want to use this match as a cheap 'trial'? If you do, I'll pay double the stake if I win for the faith shown in me.

Confident I will win, I'm a lot more solid around the balls and I am playing on a table that I know inside out. He's doing 5x15 hour working days before the match then playing on an alien table. Not a game he can win without those obstacles, so the obstacles make it even harder. I'm 75% at least to win. Against someone who plays on the tour that's about as good as I'll be to win a match, and the format we're using suits me well as skill wins long term.


Anyone wanna give it a go? £25 each if thats 5 of ya, paying double the amount when I win. I'll just be happy with double my stake for this game just to prove that I can play for a decent sum.

let me know asap please so can sort getting money to me etc before Thursday.

Cheers
Baz

Played a match for £225 a man earlier and won 25-15. Played pretty solid just lost concentration after a great start and then in the middle when I wasnt being tested. Got 5 break and dishes which is a 20% success rate. Top ranked players in country have average of 15-17% on GB9 events so in that context a 20% success rate after scuppering chances for more is good going.

Key scorelines in match were 3-0, 8-3, 13-7 (after letting him pull back to 9-7), 20-13 (after letting him pull to 13-12) then seeing the job off while keeping him hooked.

The guy I played is a proper gambler who doesnt have a shot to beat me. But he wants to degen more money in my direction and wants to play me this Sunday.

I broke and dished 5 racks with my own cash on the line today. And my focus was 100% and mental game was pretty good. And I made him like losing his money to me but without having to hustle him. This is really your best chance to earn some dead easy wonga. Message me if you interested and I'll let you know all details.

This is my last message I'll post about this because nobody has responded in the past couple of days, despite me being as up front as I can.

I thank all for at least considering my offer if you not interested, if you are then lets do this. I'm in Leicester if you need proof then come down. I'm giving the top amateurs a tough game yet I still have a reputation as a chopper...

Don't think I'm going to be seeing my monkey again.

Interesting thread about our hero I found:

Seems like he lives in Dreamworld, not Leicester as we all thought.

He's apparently nicknamed "The Fury" in darts circles.

"Thieving Bastard" would be a better moniker.

I'm amazed anyone gave a stranger on here staking money to play pool!

That forum you linked to is full of classy people

Yep, totally stupid.

Did get a decent reference, but should never have given him money.

Jeez, I'd completely forgotten about this thread!

Wonder where he is now...
