I have to more or less agree with Vincent here. The simple fact of the matter is that every circumstance was stacked in Crafty's favor, and it barely won. If 10x speed difference + Opponent runs at 40/5 min + public book = barely winning then 4x speed difference + Opponent runs at 40/2 hrs + private book = crafty crushed anthony
