I'm a pretty big gambler, I gamble a lot in Poker --- been playing pool 4 months now, and obviously still a amateur I want to start gambling in pool.

I was just curious as to how do I find people to gamble with me?

Read my well and the problems of the week and you should have a relatively solid guide to handicapping, finding games, what to look out for, and some general tactical tips.

Walk into pretty much any pool hall, ask the bartender who might like to play you for $X, and when a player comes up and offers you to play for X with your handicap being Y you say you'll play but with a bigger spot.

Might be a great hustle from the OP but I'd still be forced put my name on the list of guys willing to play. I'd also have to put up a sweat bet or two if he locked up with Dino.

Hey everyone, I'm new here. But anyway, I've been playing pool for about eight years now, and let me tell you, PRACTICE! Pool is a game you don't want to invest your money in until you are confident in your skills to play. Nobody wants to get hustled.
