I grew up in a pool hall... I started going to my local pool hall when I was 15. The owner knew I wasn't 18, but I didn't drink and I was good for action, so he didn't care. Now, some 22 years later, I've seem some crazy stuff go down in pool halls. From stupid weight, to stupid bets, there's not much I haven't seen, but I'd love to hear what you guys have come across over the years.
I think the craziest/sickest bet I've ever seen was the "I bet you $200 I can take a bigger shit than you" bet. I kid you not... these guys grabbed grocery bags and went into the bathroom while someone went to the store and bought a scale. The winner was accused of cheating because he had put the toilet paper in the bag.
The weirdest one I've done personally was when I was sitting outside smoking a cigarette while waiting for my match in a tournament. It was late on Sunday, it was raining, and I was bored out of my mind. A buddy and myself decided to start betting which rain drop would reach the bottom of a windshield faster. It didn't take long and we had 5 people around the hood of a truck betting $500 on rain drops.
