Ok, so two guys were gambling at the local pool hall last night. They know each other well and gamble often. Player 1 is obviously the better player and is winning easily. Fast forward to the final set. Player 1 is now giving player 2 a considerable amount of weight and it goes hill-hill. Player 2 scratches on the break and the 1-9 combo is lined up pretty nicely. On his way to his seat, player 2 intentionally moves the one ball against the rail, making the combo impossible to even attempt. He says “There’s no rule stating that I cannot do this and it’s just ball in hand.” After some words Player 1 just takes ball in hand and ends up winning the set. This one just rubbed me the wrong way and wanted to hear how some of you would have dealt with something like this. Thanks!
Player 1 has the option of leaving the ball or moving it back where it was … no??
This one is as simple as it gets - Not allowed - unsportsmanlike - immediate loss of game - no discussion. It is however, between them, and no one else need get involved.Ok, so two guys were gambling at the local pool hall last night. They know each other well and gamble often.

Sneak outside and let the air out of a few of his tires!Ok, so two guys were gambling at the local pool hall last night. They know each other well and gamble often.

i would consider it a concession and take the money. but it does connect to a similar question some guy asked me, how fouly can an intentional foul be? my response was that it's limited to the cue striking the cue ball

Sounds like it is none of your business, as uninvolved player 3, no?
If your ok with people pulling that shit on people you should be thrown out to. I’m ready for gambling to completely disappear from pool so the game can may be become more then just a low life hustler image.
