Thanks for the story Freddy,how about Mr 3Cushion and Phil,where youse guys at...do you have something you would like to share about NSBC?
I have meny stores about north shore since I had all the action locket up. I remember when Bugs was playing Louie Roberts None to seven I think he was giving him.
And Louie was ahead about 12 thousand dollaers. And Bugs had one barrale left. And Bugs won the 12 thousand back and brock Louie Robets.
And after louie went brocke he asket me why didnt I pull him up. I said I couldnt have pulled you up with a machine gun.
You were haveing too much fun. And then Louie sais he was going to jump out the window and I said I cant stop you. Nobody can.
And then the next day I backet Louie Roberts and I told him If I can Couch him. Grady the roffer will play you 8 to 6 and 9 to 6 on his breack.
I new louie could win because howe great he shot. And I was backing louie 5 hundred dollers a game. And a shot came up and Louie said he was going too shoot the shot.
I said no youre not if you do I am done with the game and backing you. Louie told me he would bet his life on the shot. That he would make the shot.
I said no if you do Im done. Nothing else to tal;k about. And Louie didnt shoot the shot. But keepte moaning I would bet my life I could make that shot.
And after Louie won and he won about 4 or 5 thousand dollers. Louie told me after the game that he would bet his life on that shot. THat he would make it.
Her was a classest remark I could think off. BET YOURE LIFE ON THAT SHOT WHEN IM NOT IN WITH YOU. And Louie never forgot that shot.
And told everyone that I wouldnt let him shot a shot he would bet his life on.
And the next day he asket me What do I think if he gives Bugs the 7 and 9 playing nine ball.
I said I think you will win. And I will take 25% off youre action. He said ok. And he started plating Bugs mineball. And louie won easy.
I new Bugs couldnt beat him. And people think the 7 ball is a big spot. Well its worth less the 115 with a good shooter. But people think thier getting something getting the 6 ot 7 ball. If the player runs out it doesnt make a little bit off difference.
Take 2 games on the wire going too 7 games and play even. Now he has some chance off winning.
Because what people dont no or realize. If you dont win the game because off you getting the spot. Youre not getting any spot at all. IF it does not come into play.
It only means something in a game were you can make rhe senen and cant get out ot the 8 and 9. But if a good player gets too the 7 ball he will make the 8 and 9 too.
So what you are getting spoted is nothing,. Because you can play a race to 7 and the spot never even showes up once. And you have to win even too beat the player. Who is giving you the 7 ball.
And people think its a big spot. Its nothing at all with two good players. Now with two players who cant play. And you get 3 or 4 shots a game.
Nowe its a big spot. Because it will showe up. But with two great platers the 6 7 or 8 is no spot at all. Because it does not come into play.
And people for years have thought that the 7 or 8 eas a good spot.
You atre better off playing even every game. And takeing 115 on every bame then a 7 ball that doesnt mean anything anyway.
And a hreat player like ERal Shane Eferemn Alex and any off the top 10 greatest 9 ball players. Can give each other the 7 or 8 and wont even showe up.
Because they run out. And the 7 or 8 wont make a difference. A player like Shane. Cold take all the breacks. And give Efern the 7 ball and shane would be stealing.
But people dont realize howe little that spot realy is. And everyone allways made a big deal out off iy . Like the wete getting a big spot.
The spot is like nothing for a great player. BUt louie beat Bugs in nineball. And Bugs beat louie in one pocket. Just like its supose too happen.
And Louie roberts was on the road with Larry Hubbart. And I backet Ronberg too play Larry Hubbart. And Ronberg beat him.
And I will tell you some Varner stories latter on. When he beat Garr playing bumper pool.
And Billy Incardone played Grady the Roffer. But thats next time. And before im done you will have a Idea about what went on in north shore.
In pool cards ponk pong bumper pool. THree coushion and scrable. And even made games playing basket ball. And sports betting too. Any game you wanted too play.
Somebody would play you. IT was open day and noght. And that was a big plus. Because all the pool rooms closed at 1 P.M . And everyone would come too North Shore.
If they would have had good parking. THe buisness would have doubled. And out side off DEtroite thier was never a better action spot.
And for pool rooms Bensingers had all the action somebody could want. It wasant easy. But it was action.
And in case nobody ever mentioned it. Bensinger was like a block away and through the alley.
And Freddy and I lived wright in the middle off both places. Bensingers and North shore.
But both places were like 1 block away from each other.
