[FuglyBaz]

FML get a facebook message this morning from the guy I meant to be playing tomorrow

"Sorry pal, can't play Thursday now as I forgot it's my sisters birthday on friday, and I don't want to gamble her birthday present money. Can we play next week?"

How can you forget your own sisters birthday? Rearranged for next Thursday now, but I'm not happy about it in slightest.

As I told Cox yesterday, I couldn't get a lift to Daventry to play the midnight money match. The one lift offer I had, the drive got too drunk to drive!!! Can't manage a 6 or 7 legged 3 hour journey to Daventry on my own as I don't travel well when reliant on Public Transport.

Having a serious think about the whole thing now to be honest. I need to be looking for local games and just turning up and throwing some challenges out there. The people who want to play me generally bottle it because they know they can't win or their backers tell them to pull out. Got a certain prick killing my action at every opportunity, which is annoying.

I have a friend locally who has a strong business head and doesn't take any shit whatsoever. I'm gonna see if he's interested in managing me, in a sense of the word. He has lots of experience in finding the right games and knows all the angles, so I'm hopeful he may be able to help me.

One game I'm going to negotiate today is a match against a player who plays in the local Rack N Roll (Leicester) 9-ball league. He's placed in bottom of Division 2 while I'm 2nd in Division 1, but he thinks he's better than he is so is always up for a game. I've proposed a match for £100-£150, Best of 31 sets race to 4 in each set. Will be a 2 day match if we do it, as it will be a max of 217 racks. Can't justify playing for much more because we are friends.

Maybe Dubais idea of spinning up against a fish who can't hold a cue was a better idea lol

Just been typing a PM to you, Cos and Tom.

Can I give you a bell?

I'm still up for a bit of this too, although probably prefer to go for a bit less if someone wants to split a £250 stake with me?

grim!

[GreekStein]

Stakers are receiving pms because the thread had generated a bit of interest in the wrong places

[Linux]

have u played a match yet?

[FuglyBaz]

Guys sorry Ive been absent for the past week, my fiancee has been seriously ill in hospital and that has had to be my main priority.

Whoever said 'Grim' I'm upset you think I'm out to grim, especially after I've given my home address and personal details (also that of my fiancee and her mother who is vulnerable!!!) to the people involved.

Linux - yes I played a match for £100 a couple of weeks ago now against a very good amateur player recieving handicaps. We played best of 7 sets, race to 9 in each set. I get 3 head start and it is adjusted after each set depending if I win or lose. I lost 4 sets to 2. Was a game I had an edge in but of course anything can happen.

As has been confirmed by Cos, this thread has garnered too much attention by actual pool players that I've opted to keep updates private. If anybody wants an update on what's going on then please tell me, and I'll PM you as well. I wanted to delete the thread altogether, but then I would definitely be accused of grimming and that's not what it is. Games are harder to come by due to this thread as a lot of people are trying to take advantage, so it's working out a strategy with a mate who is 'managing' me to get the right games that are in my favour.

I hope that this is satisfactory for all, like I say please PM me if you want to be updated on the progress
