The thin line between strategy and luck: Battleship Pro Tour

I covered the U.S. Battleship Professional Tour since its inception in February 2005. I know not a lot of time for this sport, but believe me, I can not think of a more grueling or strenuous sports to watch, cover or think.

What is the battleship Professional? And 'making a living playing the classic board game Milton Bradley. Some of the best players are: James "The Fat smith" Sheppard III, Hagge-Gadda Haggar, Texas Slim, Texas Hank Carl Floridian, scrupulous Kentucky Lou, Mad Oklahoma Johnson, Idaho The Shocker, Lou "shoulder" Padowski, Green Hornet, James Infomercial and El Presidente De Lo Ricardo Montalban Fan Club

To be the best in Pro Armor must be good, but we must also be lucky. Sometimes you have to be real lucky.

"I was in a best-of-99 match and could not finish my opponent until he made a series of F1-F15 blunders around 77, which, frankly, I did not understand the logic," said Johnson Mad Oklahoma. "But then I did not care. Ultimately, I ended up winning with little effort."

Texas Slim graduated from the A1, A3/G1 School G3 to call a game. Sometimes it's served me well. Other times it is not.

"I was humiliated as a man, certainly," Texas Slim says. "But that comes with the territory. Battleship teaches how to be a better man."

When you go "nothing but white" Pro battleship, which means no place, but pegs white board opponents' for at least five rounds, it can become very frustrating.

"You feel like a cream puff girl, maybe a silly or scary imp pessimistic," said James "The Fat smith" Sheppard III. "Some guys do not do it. I saw their careers ruined tour."

Battleship Pro can be rough, but the rewards can be amazing. Lou scrupulous Kentucky has won more than $ 10.45 in his career. James infomercial averages about $ 1.10 every 6-8 weeks.

"Some people think we are crazy," said James Infomercial. "Well, if so, then so be it."
