Artie there's definetly a misunderstanding here, in your original post for this thread you stated in the # 5 and # 6 explanations what the spot was and what the free scratch that Dave was getting was worth. I tried to explain several times in this thread that the free scratch was not a free scratch it was a push, and that it was not worth 4 1/2 Gabe balls. There are many people that have commented in this thread that disagreed with your evaluation of the free scratch IN THIS GAME. I think your confusing yourself by saying free scratch, when it's a free push. Go back to the first page of this thread and read what you said in #5 and #6.
Billy I.
This all got started on a nother tread. And it did not get started by saying Dave was getting a free push. And thats not important any way.
Because what was said and interpetet different is not the important thing about this whole thing.
What I brought out and whats important for people too see and learn. Is not weather he had a push a limited scratch or foul or even a half a sctatch or a half a push.
The important thing for people too see that in a proposition game the rules should be different. THey price off a scratch in a game were a player is getting 14 to 2 cannot be the same for the week player as the good player.
And that is what I wanted too bring out. Not that its even going too change. BUt I mad people aware off it.
And it has been used ever since I can remember. Because I was one off the people who used it. And I new when I read they rule it was not fair.
But the rule was in my favor and I never said anything. If I am giving a player 9 to 3 and we both are shooting at the game ball. Howe can his scratch cost him the same as mein? If I am playing him 9 to3.
Are you going too say that its in the rules and its figured in the spot. People make games according howe the player plays. Not according too the rules. People dont realy think about the rules.
And when a discrepancy comes up. They dont want too go by the rules anyway. And they say we were playing by the house rules not BCA rules. But the games are made by how both people play.
AOr the use another person and say her is how you played him. And her is how I played him. And the rules realy dont come up in the disscousion. Because everyone knowes the rules or should no them.
BUt the people who read this and watch someone playing will say.When the good player scratches how come he only spots one ball. And it will be remembered.
And Some week players wiil be a little more clever. And say you are spotting me 9 to 3 and when you scratch it cots you 3 balls. And the good player wont give in and say thats not the rule. But the good player mite settle for giving the weeker player 2 to 1 one on his scratch.
Thinking he wont scratch. Or he might even think the weeker player has a point and might give him the 3 to 1 on scratches. Or add another 5 or 10 dollaers on the price off the game they are playing for. Whatever someone says. It has barganibg power.
Because it does make a lot off sense. But thats the important thing that I wanted too bring out. Not weather Daves spot was way less or different. That realy has nothing too do with what I said.
THe real and whole picture is Howe can a scratch be even when the player is getting 20 to 5 . And one ball in compairison too the other player is 5 to 1 so how can his scratch price equale one for one.
That is the qoiustion. And thier will be a lot off different answers and Qouistions from this. If you are the weak player.
And you have read this Howe do you feel and what to you have too say about a player giving you 15 to 5. Howe do you feel about playing him one ball for one ball for every scratch.
WE need the opinion from the weaker player. What they think not just the good players.
And the people who want too use the rule because its in thier favor. I want too her from the people that the rule is not in thier favor. Thank you.
what is a 1 scratch handicap worth?
