Shooting a pool shot in itself is not gambling.

Basing something ELSE (a buck, a beer, a punch in the arm) on you or or opponent making/not making that same pool shot is gambling.

I was just saying that people have the right to come on here and ask a question and when he seemed to make it a point and say goto the rule book and find it yourself, make me think things like well apa in all could be considered gambling. You shoot teams every week, and at the end you get something in return, if its a trophy, money , etc.
