Excuse me for living in a different region than you do, you pompous ass.

I'd like to think Maryland and New Jersey are the same region considering they are only a 2 hour drive (max) apart.

What I stated was the basis for getting weight almost everywhere. We have seen it talked about in pool movies, listened to it in commentating of matches, seen it in matches from all over the US and the world even. Unless something specific was specifed (ie except on the break)... why should this match be any different?

Also, what do you mean by the called 7 is automatic disqualification? You need to enlighten us on that one. I don't understand how getting or giving weight disqualification

I double checked this post for you, shouldn't be any spelling mistakes this time. Thanks for resorting to name calling, I now know the mentality I am dealing with.

Since they've played each other before, there probably wouldn't have been any questions between each other. I raised the question earlier to learn something for myself and perhaps the rest of the forum.

Not all pool players are regular gamblers and the great thing about this forum is it gives folks from all walks to check things out and ask questions.

Especially since folks reading this forum are literally from all over the world.

I'm not a regular gambler either. I do on occasion and usually not for much, but enough to make it more interesting. Sorry if I came off sounding like an asshole to you.

I just thought this was something that the majority of people here know. I can't see how "you got the 7" can be so much different from state to state/poolhall to poolhall. CubC is from North Carolina, OMG is from California, Justin is somewhere in the middle and the match is going down in Vegas and they all knew what it meant.
 
Huh?!?!?!?!

How, and since when is a called 7 an automatic DQ? Basically, it sounds like you are saying that if anyone gives somone the called 7 in "your area" their opponent is DQ'd? Is this just a way for people in your area to get a win without having to shoot?

Seems to me, no matter where you are from, if a person gives someone the called 7 the person getting the weight needs to make the 7 ball in the pocket they called on a legal shot or break. IF the 7 was made by the other shooter then the person getting the weight needs to make the 9 on leagl shot to win.

How could giving weight be regional?!?!?!!?!? Giving someone the called 7 is giving someone the called 7.....PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen it played both ways, so I ask, what if Cubc makes the 7 on the break or legally makes the 7 out of rotation?

CUBC's only money ball is the 9. Only OMG can win by making the 7 ball because she is getting the spot, not CUBC.
 
How does it vary by region?

What happens to a money ball on the break varies from region to region. When or if it is spotted at all also varies- only moreso . There are probably at least 9 ways for confusion. Get it squared away before you bet fellas.

If OMG is getting the called 7 and she calls it and makes it on the break or any other legal shot, she wins.

If OMG gets the wild 7 and makes it on the break or any other legal and slops it in, she wins.

I fail to see how this varies by region. What the hell kind of regional differences can there be on making the ball? These rules, IMO, are universal.

It isn't like we are talking about bar rules 8 ball where the house rules can vary from bar to bar in the same neighborhood or even from person to person.

It's cool! After getting educated a few posts ago, it does seem pretty simple. I thought that getting the seven might mean that any ball above the seven is a win. Just to show you how far off I was, I was thinking, "Damn, if a 7, 8, or 9 goes in on the break, it's over!" lol

Actually my next question is, where does the seven go in the rack? If it's random how do you make sure?

If she got the 7 out, then the 7, 8 AND 9 are her money balls.

If she is getting the called 7 or the wild 7, then her money balls are the 7 OR 9.

That's "the 7 out" instead of "the 7".

Let's try to clear this up.....

If someone says, hey I'll give you the seven, that usually means the wild 7. If someone says, "Hey, I'll give you the call seven" That means it has to be called. If someone says "HeyI'll give you the seven out" , then that means the wild seven eight nine. And if someone says, I'll give you the call seven out, that means you must call the seven or eight but the nine can be pocketed any way legal for the win.

Very few people are going to place the extra money ball(s) randomly in a rack. They will place them where the racker feels they are least likely to go on the break or hang near a hole. Watching the other player's break and where the balls go is only smart.

Thanks everyone! lol


There's definitely something to the phrase, "A little knowledge is dangerous." :D

HAHA Yeah, now get out there, find some action and go broke! :D:D:D
 
The biggest misconception I can remember seeing on here was a couple of years ago someone was getting "the last two" and a lot of people (myself included) understood "the last two" to be the last two balls on the table (not counting the nine ball).

If memory serves me correctly, there were a few people that were in the NJ/NY area that thought "the last two" was the same spot as someone getting the "7 & 8". They thought both spots were the same thing.

The current bet, as others before me have stated, depends on whether the game is "called 7" or "wild 7". Once that choice is made, they have to discuss what their interpretation of the rules are. To the best of my knowledge, there's not a guide book like the BCA rules when it comes to gambling. Because of this, there's a few things that could be left up to interpretation that need to be discussed. I always assumed people saw the last two & the 7 & 8 spots as I did. Had I gambled with someone that saw it differently, there could've been problems early on in the match.

Always stipulate what your interpretation of the spot is with the person you're shooting against to make sure you're both on the same page.

Best of luck to both parties in this match up.
 
The next poll should definitely be:

1. Peer should be banned from posting any more polls.
2. Peer should have a customized view so that he automatically defaults to a poll when creating a new thread.
3. I like to watch American Idol.
 
In some places even if the money ball is wild, it doesn't count on the break- you cant call it on the break either.

If the spottee makes it on the break, it immediately spots. If the spotter makes it on the break, it spots but not til the spottee has finished his inning so he doesn't have to make it twice.
