Cheating Stories- The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly.

[Aten]

I was shooting in money cup a couple of years ago and needed x amount of balls to win. There was x amount of balls left on the table and if I ran out I would win. I walked around the table several times to see what my shot was. I walked up grabbed the cueball with ball in hand and ran out. The guy walked up shook my hand and the score keepers started tallying the sheets. I went back to my case and one of my team members asked "Why did you take ball in hand?" I looked back at the table and said "I... really... don't... know". I then turned to the captain and told him I cheated and even the other captain on the other team said I didn't. When I explained that I took ball in hand when I shouldn't have we took the points off we reracked and gave them the break. I eventually did win but till this day I still have no idea why I grabbed the cueball. I guess I thought I had a better shot from the other end of the table

Don't worry man, even Michaela Tabb does that LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27_RC27gSdw

Compromising positions.
Decisions aren't always easy.

I was one of three people betting from the rail once.
The player lost a game and paid us off......
...he then went to wash his hands....
...when he came back, he paid us off again.

Now normally, I would correct this oversight.....
...but the other two bettors were obviously delighted....
...so I accepted the windfall rather than be a knocker.

A few weeks later, the same guy was stuck his last $800.
He wanted to borrow $100 to take one last shot.
I gave him $500....the deal was...first he wins his $800 back....
..and anything over that we split.
He said "How can I turn that down?....he won $1,400 and I showed
a $300 profit.
I never did tell him why I did that.

Sometimes you're lucky enough to make things right.....
...and show a profit while you're doing it....

When I first started playing pool I had no clue about trapping and all that nonsense. I had just started practicing and getting interested in the game. ( I played with a pool cue from champs you know the kid you go ask to play cause you know he sucks and is easy money for you. LOL) Anyway I would practice during the day after school and in the evenings there was always gambling and would watch them play. Anyway I showed up to the pool hall after school and there was a guy in there just sitting there. He walked up to me and asked if I knew who Marvin was. I said yah he said if you see him tell me who he is and I will give you a free 10% if I win. I said ok not knowing that trapping your home pool player was not right. I will not say his name but looks like LB Lice is his name and when Marvin walked in I told LB thats him.

They start playing and kept playing till I left that evening. I come back the next day and they are still playing. LB finally makes Marvin quit and beats him out of 22 k. Marvin pays off and is at the bar talking to some of the people and I am sitting in the chair. LB walks up to me and counts out $2200 in front of all the people there and hands it to me and says thanks kid. LOL I was happy man and excited I was in high school and never had that much money. LOL LB walks out the door and everyone just stares at me like I just killed there bestfirend.

I learned that if you are going to trap your pool room better get half of the bet not a 10% freeroll. LOL

My buddy is nearly positive he got "jarred" playing a one pocket match. Of course he went on to lose. Now the guy won't give him a chance to get even because he knows he cannot win unless he drugs him.

I bet on a guy who got jarred one time. He still does not remember how it happened or what he did when he lost. He woke up the next day just trying to think how he played and missed ball in hand shots. Just amazes me how people do this and can sleep at night.

That happened to me and my backer once. Funny thing is, the guy we played is the nicest guy in the world. Never had any issues with him, and I highly doubt it was him. Ended up playing him again and I won twice the amount I lost.

You beat somebody before? LOL

Thats some funny shit. Some people are seriously cheap asses. They prob thought they had just won the lottery with that $10.

They said the guy who they gave the $10 to plays motley crue, guns and roses, and mettalica. Wonder who they were. LOL

Not during Valley's growing years. BTW the next year the rule was changed to protect me!

There wasn't any cheating but I played a guy named Charlie Blanchard from South Louisiana in the tournament this week. I must have that age related attention disorder thing because I was so engrossed with trying to figure out how I was going to play the four ball that was tied up with the nine, that I looked at the three ball on the other side of the table a couple of times and decided that I would play a safety on the tied up 4/9 ball, instead of shooting the 3.

Charlie watchem be carefully and slowly shoot the 4 ball and quickly announced that I had shot the wrong ball. He then went on to talk about my absent-mindedness and I just told him, "It's no problem, it's all good Charlie" and commenced to spanking him real good.

No cheating, but I have to say I might have a hard time reminding him if he ever tries to shoot a ball out of turn.

It's kind of funny how many of these stories involve leagues and league players. Hustlers get the bad rap but it seems like there's a much higher chance of running into douchebags playing league. There's always 1 guy, and if there's more than 1 then its a whole team of jackasses. The extent some people go to cheat or get any desperate advantage in a meaningless league match is amazing.

I guess "douchebag moves you have seen people pull at league" would be an entirely different (and much longer!) thread...

It would be longer and have more views that the funny pic thread on here. It would also be a major cause of ulcers, hypertension and probably a few anxiety/panic attacks.

Damnit, cyclist, stop trying to mess with us lowly league folk!

My first year of pool, I was playing in a tournament and had to play the guy that was running it, a local master player, so I expected to get my arse handed to me. I end up getting up on him 2-1 and win the next game and go to shake his hand. He's all, "That was only your second." I'm all, like, "Nuh uh, I made the 9 in (hole) and (hole) the previous games." He says, "You've got 2 games." I ask the people that were sitting there and they pretty much just shrug their shoulders. He ended up getting the match and I took 3rd or 4th or something eventually. Afterwards, another player came up to me and told me I should've had the set. I'm not sure if the guy's ego was too fragile or if he simply couldn't believe I was winning, but I learned real quick that people that are better are quick to tell you that also means that they're right(and are still willing to cheat you).

Ok, I'll post that exact thread when this one starts to die down.

Might be ulcer causing, but there could be some funny (pathetic) stuff posted in such a thread. I know reading some of the crappy moves people pull is always good for a laugh.

If that happened to me I would stand on the table and yell out "this guy is cheating me!......He has to cheat to win! How do you sleep at night!!! Do you steal candy from kids at halloween too? !!!"

I was playing a guy race to 5 I was up 4-3. I had a tough cut all the way up the rail, his ball was right in front of the pocket. I played it with speed to block the pocket if I missed going underneath his ball. I ended up blocking the pocket and the 8 ball was in the jaws in the other pocket taking away the easy bank. He gets up and shoots my ball in and then starts to shoot the eight. If I hadn't been paying attention I would have lost the game. I spoke up saying "Hey you shot the wrong ball in" He looks at me all pissed and hands me the cue ball. I'm not sure if he was pulling a move or not but I hadn't seen anyone try that before.

That is a pretty slick move. I'll have to watch out for that. Kind of nervy if you ask me. All cheats are nervy. Lol

People like this absolutely make me laugh.. I run into so many people playing at bars, that just want to say stuff like "You ain't got this.." or just tossing jeers in while your shooting down the balls, just because they think it will throw off your game.

They used to be right, I used to get all upset, like.. "MAN I WILL SHOW HIM!" then whiff on my shot.. now.. I just smile at them, while sinking the shot.. leaving them with a gaping mouth, and a jaw on the floor!

Yeah, get em back Joey, I definitely throw back jeers when they are shooting after they start.. Especially after I start making shots, and I can tell they are starting to get nervous.. It is just icing on the cake to use their own jeer as a mock " Like, Looks like Im gonna get another shot now!" lol... LOVE IT!

Ulcers are no joke, I almost died from one.

Well... not just the ulcer.. but it was the last thing to take a toll on me and require a 5th surgery.. What a joke!

 

[8BALLDELUXE]

Was playing in state tourney 10 years ago, match tied 2-2, hes on the eight and scratches, at that time a scratch was not a loss, the guy came over to me and said nice game and shook my hand, some peterhead in the crowd rudely said that was not a loss, took BIH and ran them out anyway.

I dont like taking games like that but if you dont know the rules thats your own damn fault. The other guy was just a spectator and didnt know either one of us. Later the next day he bought me a beer and said he was sorry for interfering with our match

 

[maxeypad2007]

Playing in the APA indy tournament in 2010...

A female player on my team who plays as a two is playing an APA seven in 8-ball. She is sitting down and it is his shot. She just played a strong safety and the only way he could make a ball is to foul (a "split" hit).

She tries to stop him from shooting and yells at the top of her lungs that she wants someone to watch the hit and he continues to ignore her firing it in. Even though a ton of locals saw this happen and the guy obviously ignored her it was not a loss of game because it was his judgement on the hit. Had he not been on the other end of the table she would have been able to get her cue up to note that he needs to wait on someone to call the hit.

Later on that night I saw the guy playing and I walked up behind him and said "hey buddy"...he acknowledged and I realized he was a true douchebag

Another examlpe of APA rules being incomplete.

 

[Group Therapy]

I still feel bad about it.

Not really cheating but I still felt bad afterwards. I was playing in a new to me tourny this past Fri. On my first my match I find out that they are playing "bar rules" ie... no ball in hand fouls also it is just a race to 1. I'm making my way through the field and come up against a guy I had seen play in league. He is a 6-7 APA and I am still just a banger 4. Anyway, i have been shooting really well and run down to 1 ball left before I miss. The 4 ball is just a couple inches out of side pocket, makeable from just about anywhere on the table. He proceeds to start shooting and runs all of his balls out, but ends up with crappy position on the 8. It is about 6in off the head rail, center diamond, and whitey is 1 diamond out on the foot rail, frozen to the rail. Since there is no ball in hand he slow rolls the cue down, kicks off the head rail and parks the Q right behind the 8. I'm looking at a 2 rail kick to try and make my 4 when it occurs to me that he has to shoot outta the kitchen. So I turn and scratch on purpose. Felt shady but it allowed me to win the game.

I would have told him where to put his beer.

A Holes are like cock roaches. If you find one, there are probably a few more around somewhere.
