Has anybody ever played a game of front-and-back One Pocket? I've never seen a game played like that, just the front two corner pockets with a ball spot. Most exotic handicap I've seen was the "hit and pick."
I gather front-and-back used to be a common handicap. Jersey Red was famous for huge front-and-back spots and Eddie Robin's book Winning One Pocket (p. 30) says it was popular from the 30's and 50's.
I wonder if the old-timers were influenced by Corners and were more comfortable with a back table game bet
