No, III, I would not, for a number of reasons. First of all, in line with my original post, at my level I think the break is more of an edge than it seems to be for the guys on my DVDs, and giving it up to a guy who already plays my speed would make no sense. I can't imagine trying to entice somebody to give me a bad game, tho I know it happens in the scenario you gave.
At the same time, I have to say that I don't do very much gambling, and I know that is a strange attitude to many posters here, many of whom don't really care to play any other way. I love to play one-pocket, but I'm not willing to endure the crap that goes along with making a game for money, and then the demands for adjustment if I win. Gambling is not really a rush for me. If you want me to bet, you first have to make me think I have the best of it, and don't try to make me feel I owe you a chance to catch up unless we make such an agreement in advance.
The last guy tried to make me mad. He said 'you don't have much gamble, do you?' and my response was 'hardly any at all'. If you want to gamble, offer me a bet. I'll take it or I'll leave it, but I won't argue and hassle much about it. That's my attitude, and it's not likely to change, at my age. If I had a guy near my speed who wanted to play twice a week for $10 a game, and who could stand to either win or lose without pitching a tantrum, that would be fine - I can play that way. But I don't have such a guy.
And I doubt that I'm the only one who feels that way. I'm amazed to find that so many people admire a player who is always ready to empty out and bet his rent money. I've been broke too many times and I didn't like it. If possible, I will avoid it in future.
I seem to have hijacked my own thread to make a speech. Sorry 'bout that, and I hope no one takes it personally. Just popping off a little. Gambling is okay, but one-pocket is better.
