Re: Pool players, learning to play to win a bet

However, if 9 ball is the game, pay off the bet now. You would need several hours of practice a day to go from "I suck at pool" to being able beat a decent player at a race to 7.

Not necessarily. With practice, quality outweighs quantity. If he develops a decent skill set, has a good break, has a decent knowledge of the game, and doesn't fall victim to pool's version of Fancy Play Syndrome, he has a good chance of winning this bet. Also, most players that are described as "good" by a novice aren't really very good, with a few exceptions here and there.
BTW, where in Jersey are you paying only $4/hr for pool time?
