What are the best excuses you've heard or said for losing a game?
- Thread starter hawaiiday76
- Start date
The single most common excuse I will hear is, "I ain't hit a ball in months"

These are really great guys! I'm making the shirt for Georgia Billiard Academy and the best excuses will be printed on the back.
The waitress got in the line of my shot...
The other guy shit out on every miss!!!
The second one that i mentioned did TRULY happen to me at one tournament... The guy left me about 3 decent shots in a race to 9 but... He got every roll (my worst match to date) on my misses to boot. When your opponent feels guilty and says to you... "If there is a book on bad rolls you got every single one of them... Sorry man." you know that you got the hose... I lost 9-2
If your opponent is telling you this i rest assure you that you can actually say this to people and truly mean it. Its just the ones that make the excuses for their own mistakes that give this REAL experience a bad name :lol:

I saw one guy lose hill hill dogging the final shot because "I stretched", "I stretched", "I stretched", "I stretched"!
The very next set, he loses hill hill dogging the final shot because "The f'n bridge", "The f'n bridge", "The f'n bridge",
Of course someone yelled out "you shoulda stretched"!
This was White Plains Charlie who some old time NY'rs might know.

"These must be female balls"
HUH???? I so curiously asked
"They don't do as they're told"

I didn't sleep enough / I just woke up
I was too hungry / I was too full
I was too drunk / I needed a couple more drinks
Bet was too high / Bet was too low
I was playing a good friend, so I couldn't concentrate / I was playing someone I hate, so I couldn't concentrate
I could keep going, but you see the pattern.

I miscued on the 9 last night in a tourny, missed it altogrther!
Miscued on the 9 straight in at that! Ball in hand for the guy I was playing. Everyone laughed at me and told me to chalk up! This tournament had 55 players in it at Buffalo's Billiards in Metairie, Louisiana. Good payout too. Free entry. This is the truth! Not really an excuse! Perhaps I should not have posted it in here!

Whenever I miss I usually just say, "Man, I SUCK!" - hadn't thought about it before, but I say it all the time to a guy a give 10-6 to.....I'd better stop saying that. 
I like the saying "testing the rails" for a couple of guys that miss frequently.

He said he was having a stroke after losing. He was dead 4 hours later.
I've heard a few of these through the years. they mostly tend to be self defeating sounding.
The pool G-d's must be giving you all the luck.
Damn it, if we were playing for money I wouldn't have dogged that shot!
Damn it, if we were playing for more money I wouldn't have dogged that shot!
Damn it, if we were playing in a tournament I wouldn't have dogged that shot!
Damn it, if they rated me right I wouldn't have dogged that shot!
Wasn't enough pressure on that game to make me shoot well.
There's no way you just beat me, you must have cheated.
I'm sandbagging to keep my spot low===> this was in an open tournament...lol
It must just not be my day.
I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if I tried.
My glasses prescription must be bad if I missed that shot.
First day with the new eyes.
I would have won if I had brought my other cue....This guy only had one cue and played with it all the time.
I lost because I suffer from HUA....head up A$$
It wasn't you winning it was me losing. I beat myself!----can be true but does that have to be said to your opponent.
Guy gambling for decent stakes and losing says, "I can't play this game. I'm a ping pong and darts guy really."
I would have won but you had an advantage with that fancy custom cue.

The one I've heard the most is: I wasn't playing that well tonight.
Thats a put down, as in, what? I guess I'm a slouch and just got lucky then.
I just happened to shoot all my balls in before you did, thats the purpose of the game, knob.
