Yeah too bad. Just showin' off knowledge.

OP is long gone!

The red line is essentially Reid's method. Jim Rempe is in print saying Jimmy Reid went 20 hours without missing anything. I'd settle for that as a pool game. lol

Actually, snooker pockets can act like pinball bumpers and be perfectly willing to spit long distancae.

I was expecting to see something that might be fake (I guess it still could be) but their reactions make it look pretty darn legit.

I don't know what the probability is of getting a crazy lucky roll, but those tables look like Heyball tables, which makes a roll like any of those much less likely than on an American pool barbox with bucket pockets. If you assume the chance for a super lucky roll like any one of those is, I don't know, 5%? Which is 1/20. Then it's (1/20)^4 = 1/160,000. If it's 1% (probably a tad low), then it's (1/100)^4 = 1/100,000,000 (one in one hundred million). If it's somehow as high as 10%, which I doubt, then it's (1//10)^4 = 1/10,000.

So somewhere between 1/10,000 and 1/100,000,000 with most likely between 1/160,000 and say 1/5,000,000. Unless it's a banger playing me, in which case it's no worse than 50/50.

Was a fun watch regardless.
