One pocket rule

[hlymnstr14]

I'm down 7-0, opponents last ball is in the jaws. I make it and scratch. Spot that ball, but I don't have a ball to spot. Do I just owe a ball and he gets to shoot the spot shot?

Yes sir. That is the only play to keep you in the game.

In a situation like that, the best move is initiate an intriguing conversation while nonchalantly and confidently spotting up one of his balls.

Has anyone seen this happen, opponent misses the spot shot to win, and player comes back from 7/-1 to run out? Would the same ball just keep being spotted at the foot spot during the run?

If the opponent misses there are 8 balls on the table
The shooter needs 9 since he is starting at -1
After he clears all 8 a ball is spotted and he gets to shoot his game ball
If he started at -2
After he made the last ball on the table the 2 balls he owes get spotted
and he keeps shooting
They dont get spotted one at a time
Not sure if that was your question

If it's still your inning and all the balls are down you spot.
