Day one Recap:
The players have agreed to play a minimum of 8 hours per day in this 8 ahead set, with additional play with mutual consent. My assessment after a day one that ended in a tie.
This is dead gambling. Scott is a little off in his ball running and has admitted that the table is tough and the conditions are different than the desert where he plays. According to Frost, there were 8 games where he got to seven and lost. What does that tell you? He's rusty and Smith is a dangerous man.
Overall summary so far:
Moving: no advantage
Ball running: Smith
Banking: Smith
Playing the score: Frost
Demeanor/intangibles: Smith
Frost's backers were offering 2-1 odds for the first hour. Once they saw how the games were going, the odds went down to +140 if you bet Smith. After four hours, it was an even bet. It kind of reminded me of the election. One candidate was a perceived favorite, but as the votes came in, the odds began to move in the favor of the underdog.
Day 2 starts at 5:00 pm. No stream.
