Wonder how this would work out as opposed to the age old way of playing one pocket?
Ok, let's say you play a guy even, and for the last 10 times you have played him, you have still broke even. So, the game is very close you could say.
Now instead of betting $50.00 a game, you play for $20.00 a ball and the game doesn't end until all 15 balls are pocketed. At the end of each game you collect or payoff the difference in the count. Wonder if they would still break even over a long haul playing this way?
Has this format ever been tried in one pocket, because I've never heard of it. Played payball on the 6x12 snooker table in ring games many times, but never payed by the ball in one pocket, but it sounds interesting to me.
Wonder how it could be handicapped? If you spotted someone 9/7, what, you'd give them what, maybe a + 3 ball count at the end of each game? I dunno, just guessing, but I'm gonna try it out if I can find a willing opponent, tomorrow.
Any ideas??
