Let me start out first by saying that Dippie doesn't get all the breaks, the game was 18 to 4 and a free scratch that had to be called before the scratch was taken. I believe that the break whether it be all the time or rotate the break will not change the value of the free scratch. I also believe that you cannot figure mathematically what the free scratch is worth. I'm sorry Artie but the free scratch in terms of how it's designed to give a player an edge is not worth 4 1/2 balls in this situation. I will give you an example.
If Gabe doesn't give Dippie the free scratch your saying that it's worth 4 1/2 balls more for Gabe to pocket opposed to giving the free scrach? So an even game without the free scratch would then be 22 1/2 to 4 I don't think so.
How about if Gabe gave Dippie 3 free scratches each worth 4 1/2 balls for a total of 13 1/2 balls off the spot of 22 1/2 to 4 which would bring the spot down to 9 to 4. I don't think so.
Well if Gabe gave Dippie 4 free scratches each worth 4 1/2 balls each for a total of 18 balls then he would only have to give Dippie 4 1/2 to 4. I don't think so.
There isn't a mathematical solution to this spot, you must play out the games and keep track of games won in differen't scenarios in order to place a value on the free scratch the way it's designed.
Trust me, i'm a doctor

I thought doctores need a liscense? I Wrote what one scratch is worth in balls to DAve. Not more then one that was added.
And I said before the game starts. If you have a mth major who soulves probabilities he will come up with my answer.
Weather you or anyone agrees to what I said. The important thing is not for everyone too disagree.
But too find the correct answer to the problem. Thats whats important. The correct answer will make us wiser.
And its good that people all have different opinions. But what happins to the qouistion that people whant too no the correct answer too.
Keeping track off all the games will not help the spot at the start off the game. Because each game is different.
Each game has different shots. Each game has different amount off scratches or no scratches.
This game they were playing the spot was 18 to 4 and a free scratch. Breack apeace instead I had it with Dave getting all the breacks.
But each game they played and they started had the same spot. And If you ask gab would he give Dave two more balls for one scratch. What do you think he would say.
And If Gab could but Dave in a position were they would keep taking as many scratches as they want. And everyone off Gabs scratches cost him 3 balls and it cost Dave one ball.
And they are playing 10 scratches apeace. Dave would be going too 14 teen balls. And Gab goes too 48 balls. Divide 48 by 10 see what the percentages will be.
From 14 to 8 and 48 to 14. YEs Billy a probability expert can figure out the exact. Percentage off each game. And the percentages off what one scratch is worth at the start off the game.
Thier is a answer and a correct aswer to all problems. With someone that knowes howe to do probabilities. Thier is one hunder percent a Salution to the math on what one scratch is worth ib a game.
One qouistion. If you are getting a free scratch is it worth more on his breack or your breack or is it equale. And WHY.
I hope you had a great birthday. I hope you treated yourself to all your favorit foods. And a great glass off win.
Why because you desirve it and you work hard enough and you earned it. And by the way did DAve wish you a happy birthday.
Or maybe he just forgot. But he has class. And he will wish you happy birthday Tomarrow and many more. And whatever game you play Dave dont let him out bet you.
And dont get rapt up for Christmas. Take care off your back . You only have one. And if they no you are hurting they will all want too play.Dave if you are going too play Billy.
I would do it know before its too late and he is all bent over. And then you will say I widh I would have played him. You two would make a great action game. And everyone would want too no who the winner is.
Thier is no winner tell thier is a looser. And you should both play for your profisinal pride. ITs like MayWeather and Pacqua.
Excepte you two are more skilled and have more then one game. And without action you will both be irratated . And thats what life is all about Action. And a great chalange. And may the smartest man WIN.
