Whoever sinks the 8 ball wins as long as it is in the correctly called pocked and the shooter does not scratch. No points per ball in 8 ball.
an eight ball usually goes for around $170 - $200. Are they talking about an eight ball - dope (i.e. crack?) or an eight ball in pool? An eight ball in dope was about $150 - $175. I have NO idea how much a pool eight ball is.
The lowest numbered ball in pool is the 1 ball. Pool does not assign points to the balls, so they are all of equal value.
eight ball
The diameter of a standard pool ball is 57.15 mm (2.25 inches). This size is consistent for most billiard and pool games, including eight-ball and nine-ball.
There are many pool games that can be played on a pool table. Some pool table games include eight-ball, nine-ball, three-ball, one-pocket, and bank pool.
Pool
In pool, the rules for the black ball, or eight ball, depend on the specific game being played. In standard eight-ball, the objective is to pocket the eight ball after all of your designated balls (stripes or solids) have been cleared. You must call the shot and legally pocket the eight ball into a designated pocket; otherwise, you lose the game. So, yes, you do have to pocket the eight ball, but it must be done according to the rules.

Zero. There are no points in conventional pool games for any balls, although in straight pool, a point is scored for each legally pocketed ball, regardless of color.
The expression comes from the pool-table. In some forms of pool, sinking or even touching the eight-ball is tabu except in end play. To be "behind the eight ball" is to be unable to play without disturbing the eight-ball, and thus the expression means "unable to do anything without getting in trouble."
the game immediately ends and you lose. its like in pool, when you shoot the eight ball in too early.
