Dr Bill, Let me pick a coach and I'll play you 9/6 at the Derby, We can play cheap based on our previous bets say $500/game. Just a hair above social pool.
and then we can play backgammon if the loser of the pool game agrees, this way-its a fair bet either way. Nobody will get robbed. $50/point and $500 1P should be the same size action. If the spot is out of line in the 1P game i'll adjust if you agree too do the same after 5 games-if it is a blow out. I want a fair game.
Since we both have back problems we can limit pool to 3-5hours a day. I'd like to play you for the experience and seeing you first hand manage your own game. Not just rob me. 1P is not my strong suit. Pool at the moment isn't, i need 3-4 weeks to get ready.
Just a idea, could be fun and social. I cant see more than $3000 to $5000 wion or lost by either of us, we can even flip a coin at the end of it all for the stake.
I came to Rome cause you did a few years ago, wow its amazing. wouldn't want to live here, i do really like it and will come back. On the square I got the idea from you when you were coming to see Zeegers and switched plans.
hope your good
Eric
PS I love Artie like family, he reminds me of my dad in so many ways(except pool and sports), however he cant be my coach cause i cant execute some of the shots he plays(i just dont have the skill).
Give it some thought, mite be fun. And nobody will get hurt.
