if the spot was 10/5 . 16/8 20/10 or 8/4
according to artie all those scenarios the free scratch would be worth 2 balls
is that right artie??
Yes that is correct percentage wise and mathamatical correct. Yes that is correct because each game is two too one on balls.
If its the same players play each other in all those games. The 20 too 10 is the better game for the better player.
And 8 to 4 is a better game for the weeker player. Thats why the better players want to play a longer game.
Like 36 too 8 would be better then 18 to 4 for the better player. And the percentags on the scratches does not change. And if they are playing 2 to 1 the scratches are still the same.
And people are not use to hering that if a player gives you two to one. His scratches should also be two too one.
I have never come across anyone that new that. Because they have been bullshite. By people who made the rules and didnt no what they were doing.
The rules have said as long as I remember that a foul cost either player a ball. But thats way out off line for the week player. And I think you and everyone else can see it too.
But everyone has played under the old rules and excepted the rule. And you can see that the rule is out off line. And if a player plays a weeker player without giving him his scratches dont count. And they can both take as many scratches as they want or the make up a rule before the game and say nobody can take more then 10 scratches in a row.
And If the week player cant think too good he will not win. How can he win if he is playing you 10 too 10 if you both take 10 scratches in a row. And the player is giving you 20 to 4.
You have no chance because you should be getting 5 to one on your scratches. And everyone can see that. If a player is giving you two to one and you both sratch 5 times in a row.
He is playing you 7 to 6 instead off two too one. When I use to give out those kind off spots one scratch two scratches or all the scratches.
And I think it was nice off me too show this too pool players. And next time some one spots them 9 to 3 they will ask for his scratches should be 3 yo 1.
And if you play him even on the scratches and he gives you 9 to 3 on the balls. You should loose if thier are a lot off scratches. I will never know how players getting a big spot never said nothing and never woke up.
I never said nothing because the rule was way in my favor.
How can that even be close too fair when the player is spotting you two too one on balls? Have you ever herd about this before?
You no pool even thoug I dont really no you or how good you play? Because I have never seen you play.
Does the math make sense too you? And do you think it would be a good rule. And if its fair then it will be a good rule.
If a player playes you 20 too 4 his scratches are worth 5 to one.
Her is another part to a scratch. I have only told a few people. Is a free scratch better when you brack or when the other guy breacks. I will get wright too the point.
Because I dont like going through all this nonsense when I am trying too help people with one pocket. I guess I could even wright a hunded books. Because thier is a lot.
So her is the answer The free scratch is better when you brake. Because If you scratch on the breack it does not cost you a ball. And if you are playing 8 to 8 .
You might not collect your scratchat all. Now you might say what if the other player makes a real good breack. You might think thats a good time too take your scratch.
Yes it is but her is the key. You can take a intentanale scratch anyway. So your free scratch is not worth as much as it is when you scratch. And if he doest use the scratch. Now you have a edge.
And using the scratch on your breack and you break the balls good. And you run 7 balls. You can but him in a complete trap. But its better on your breack because off the scratch on the breack.
And The scratch is also more powerfull when you have the balls open by your pocket. And that figuers too happen on your break.
And if either one off you players run 8 and out. You wont even get too use it. But a scrach on the breack. Or if he puts you by your pocket after you breack. All you have too do is kick into the stack and he will be locket up.
And if he takes a intentainal scratch in the stack he is spotting you 9 to 8. And If you no some one that knowes howe too do probable math saloutions he will work out the problem. And give you the correct anser.
I am sure next time you watch a game and the player is getting 15 to 5 and the week player will take scratch for scratch with the better player. You will see how unfair the rule is. And you might even. Inlighten him.
But any time you watch a game with a big spot. Your mind will automatickly tell you. He is playing scratch for scratch.
Because you are awar off the scratch and what the good player should be paying on his scratch. But you will see mostly even games and those games will be scratch for scratch.
I hope you learned something. Because I dont want too think I did all off this for nothing and her myself talk. I did it too help people understand a little more about the game.
And its great that one pocket . org gets to be the first too use this rule and show all the other sites they need too change the handy cap rules On the value off a scratch. Its wrong its false and it is horrable for the week player.
Even if the week player is not getting a free scratch or his scratches dont count. THe handy cap Rule needs to change with a free scratch or not. If someone is spotting you 10 to 5 thier sctatches.
Should cost them 2 to 1. It is impossable that both off your scratches should be equal. When you are getting 2 to 1 on your balls. I realy hope that you can see how true this is.
But the rule has been used and abused unfairly since one pocket started. Weather you agree with what I have said or not.
YOU WILL BE AWARE OFF WHAT I SAID FROM NOW ON.
