Good choice, Ghost. I presume that Billy considered the spot to be more advantageous than 11-7, simply because he beat Joyner last year with that spot, and he may have figured to need more weight against a red hot Frost.One Pocket Ghost said:

trying to take advantage of me and get me in a bad game ....I keep a copy of this response in my word file as an answer....."Sure Doc, no problem, you can have the spot that you asked for, and I'll take 3 to 1 on the money".....gulfportdoc said:Good choice, Ghost.

10-8 isn't that much. But the break is anywhere between 1 to 2 balls; perhaps only one ball, considering that a player of Frost's caliber follows each of Billy's breaks.
However, lifting and spotting a ball after the break might be the equivalent of a ball, since you'd never have to worry about leaving your opponent a relatively easy bank, or maybe even a smackeroo bank into the stack to reverse the break.
I wouldn't be surprised if they locked horns again this week in Mobile, although Billy's not going to stick with a loser for very long. Perhaps we can get a report from someone over there. Maybe even Billy would share some of his thinking with when he gets back home.
Anyway, it's an interesting proposition. I think I'll let you give me that spot either in Gulfport, or at DCC. It's probably a loser for me, but I know that a player of your integrity would let me adjust...
