Woofing is part of the show

I love pool for many reasons and one of them is the atmosphere of being in a poolhall. Last week there were two guys going back and forth over what the spot should be. Flyboy says "12-4." Superstar says "11-5." Flyboy disgustedly replies "We played 11-5 last time and you still beat me. You gotta give me 12-4 or 11-5 and the breaks." Superstar calmly says "I barely beat you at 11-5 and you really should have won but you made a couple dumb mistakes. Besides giving you the breaks is worth 2 balls, I'll play ya 12-6 but no way I can go 12-4." Flyboy is getting more frustrated by the second says "Fine, we'll go 12-5." Superstar is getting a little annoyed and says "I'll play ya 11-5 or 12-6 but that's it." Flyboy hears him but gives no audio reply, only a squench of his eyes and a grimace. I was practicing and had completely stopped and was listening to these guys going back and forth hoping they would get a game made so I could watch flyboy play, I've been wanting to matchup with him but didn't really know how well he played one pocket. Both went back to practicing on their own tables and about 3 minutes later Flyboy says "12-5 whenever your ready to play." I got a nice chuckle out of that, talking shit is just part of the game when gambling. Both sides ask for a better spot than they deserve because they're playing for money and want an easier path to winning.
