I just read about this great match
Rubio vs Norm Duke 2005
The match took place at Homefield. 4-game freezeout at $1500/game. Norm Duke won. It was a quality match--the kind rarely seen anymore.
I must admit it brought back memories.. great match every game was pretty close, norm bowled great and so did rebeo. I dont think anyone thought it would be as tough of a match as it was, gotta give rubeo credit he bowled very well!!!!!
4 game freeze out 6,000 to the winner. at 1 point Rubeo was up 2 games but the cream always rises to the top. after about 20 games Duke came 4 up to win.
Also Scianna was bowling Judge. Scianna was 2 up when I left. Dont know what the bet was or the end result.
Billy RED. Duke got half for the win-$3g. Nothing owed if he ever lost which was impossible. They bowled on the "S" shot which no longer stands for the scumbag shot so named by Rudy, but now known as stupid referring to Rubeo's banker Judge. You'd have to be stupid to back anybody against this great bowler. Duke wins the last five after bowling for three hours and 9 games at the us open in the morning. Guess Rubeo got tired first. I need the business so send Judge to me to clear his little mind, before he backs Rubeo against another top pro next week.
no one ever beat rubio on that pattern until duke and it wasnt the same pattern at the same house. im sure judge doesnt think rubio is a better bowler than duke but you are too idiotic to see this. judge is up alot more than 6k betting on rubio agaisnt people on the S shot. he bowled and beat rudy, scianna, neuman, robert smith he tied, chris johnson dj archer. they bowl for the action and thrill not for purpose of making a living. bowling is a game and you people act like its all you got, pretty sad.
Homefield. Bowled 18 games. Duke missed one spare for the entire match. Wins last five. Needs the hit for the win and flushes. Judge now stuck close to $9,000 after Rubeo's loss to Rudy and Duke. Judge doesn't even blink. Guess when youir loaded, what does it mean. Like betting with fake money. Sure Judge will be putting Rubeo up against somebody else for big bucks beflore the pros leave the end of next week. Rubeo was good, probably averaged better than 240. Not good enough against one of the greats.
I watched the match for 20 games. In the course of the match there were many clutch shots by both players. First, in respect to Norm Duke, he is a fabulous bowler and even a classier gentleman. On the hand of Rubeo, he showed trmendous skill and determination to be able to compete with a hall of famer and legend in a grueling 20 game match. I myself asked Norm Duke did he think the match would be this tough and he said yes. He gave tremendous props to John after the match was over...again, showing the class all legends should have. Whoever gets on the board and knocks John's skill as an action bowler is either a fool or just a hater. He has challenged many of pros, beat some and lost to some. I, in all the years of playing sports on a top level have very rarely seen an amateur perform with such skill in a very tough situation against one of the best of all time. It was a pleasue to watch John compete at such a high level and I know the people of NewYork were very proud of his performance. Again, we thank Norm Duke for performing like the star he is and being truly a gentleman and a class act. Thats the way it was.
