$228 thousand in the middle
Insane pool gambling...means each player (and/or his backers) put up $114,000. Turn up the volume..commentary by Fedor Gorst, a top pro. This the last rack...about 12 minutes. No pressure..hey, it's only money, right?
I don't do facebook...but somehow the link worked for me. https://www.facebook.com/gorstfedor/videos/242592975038801/?extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-AN_GK0T-GK1C&mibextid=2Rb1fB&ref=sharing

I don't understand gambling. I don't understand 114k bet on a pool game or a 10k bet on a street race.

It's a pool tradition...but is it really gambling? Or is it a contest of skill with money on the line? Actually, Fedor (guy commenting) said it was a hill-hill race to 9. Translation...first to win 9 games, wins the money, and they'd each won 8 games, so "hill-hill". The video is of the 17th and deciding rack played.

There was a court ruling at the state level on this debate. Forget which state's supreme court made the ruling, but not gambling, rather a contest involving skill. A damned fine line, isn't it? I never bet. I know fully well that any game people play can be and has been rigged.

If I'm playing pool and bet on myself, I don't think it's gambling..... it's more like charity
 !So I don't... |
