I know an even money bet of this nature would be out of the question,no matter how good the champion is,but I've heard reports of Corey getting 4:1 and losing,I could be wrong,but I think John Schmidt had the same odds and also lost ..I know any of those guys are more than capable at winning straight up.
What I want to know is,for the sake of discussion,amongst the Top 1holers of today who would be the favorite to out run the nuts?
My picks would be either T-Rex or Scott Frost ..If I was absolutely positive he was on the square I'd throw in Cliff as well..

Would someone give The Woim a quick and easy explanation of what is meant by "playing The Ghost".
Thanks, in advance! ;)

The stories you hear about Cory probably stem from playing that game at the DCC, however the 4-1 on the money stems from him having to run out 15 balls in his pocket not 8. When i was there a couple of years ago he was betting Weenie Beenie and winning. It was an amazing exhibition of pool I had ever seen and I have been playing for 56 years. But that bet is so tough I imagine he has lost at it also.

Is playing against nobody, Break the balls, take ball in hand and run out. Do it you win a game. Pertains to any game you want to play.

He never misses and never gets tired.
BTW John Schmidt also won this game, but I believe he was getting better than 4:1; and the game was all 15 not just 8.

And I was there and it was 4-1. I imagine there might have been times, if he kept playing this game he got better odds.
