How bout making the 5 ball a $$ ball along with the 9. In tournaments give half point for 5, 1 point for 9. It could keep players in the run. That's the way we gamble.

If I'm gambling it's not on 9 ball.

That said, since 9 ball sucks so bad anything thats done to improve the game if fine by me.

Sure, talk to Matchroom and the WPA about it.

3-6-9 is a pretty common gambling game, you get paid on the 3 and the 6 and double on the 9.

Why only for 9 ball, there is 10 ball and 8 ball also. You can make the 4 be 1 pt and the 14 be 1 pt, and the 8 2. Then all tournaments will be like gamblers looking for an edge or leagues looking for handicaps and counting points instead of wins.

it's called 5-9 here in scandinavia, in sweden it's probably the most common gambling and handicap tournament game. 5-ball worth 1p, 9-ball worth 2p, races to 21, winner breaks. every rule is identical to 9-ball except that the both point balls spots if made on break/combinations.

Used to play this way all the time. The five was worth $1 and the nine $2. Good action game, but ridiculous at pro level.
