I was wondering if anybody has any links to some footage of some good ol' payball
payball footage

It's played like rotation. 1,5,10,15 balls are money balls or ways plus total points from numbers on balls you pocket(you need 61 points or more for a way). There are 5 ways total. Rack 15 balls...1-ball is head-ball...2 & 3 ball on back two ends. Put the 5,10, and 15 in middle of rack.
Let's say your playing for $1 a way to make it easy. I sink the 1,5, and 10...you sink the 15 and 61 total ways. You owe me 1 way ($1).
If you play partners and I sink the 1-ball and you sink the 5-ball we become partners. If I sink the 1 and 5 then the 10-ball becomes the partner ball. There are other ways to play the game in different parts of the country...but I hope this gives you an idea. It's a great game to pass the time. Johnnyt

I was under the impression that payball was essentially 6-ball on a snooker table
Well now that everyone is clear exactly how its played, we can get some footage of it.

The way it was explained to me, played with the just the colored Snooker balls or regular pool balls 1-6. The game is played on a Snooker table. So much for each ball and double for a runout. I've never heard of it being played for less than $20 a ball. Used to hear of this being played a lot at Hard Times. I think it was cuemaker Bill Stroud who explained the game to me.
