If your Last ball is potted before the black then it is a legal shot and you win. * Added - In 8 Ball, under BCA Rules, APA Rules, and most House Rules this is loss of game.
In eight ball, the aim is to sink your 7 balls followed by the eight ball (black). Your balls are either the bigs or littles. In straight ball, the aim is to simply sink 8 balls of any denomination.
To win the player has to sink all the balls then sink the 8 ball. If they sink the 8 ball before all the others they are disqualified. It is a lot harder than it sounds.
In the context of billiards or pool, being "behind the black ball" typically refers to a situation where a player's cue ball is positioned in a way that obstructs a clear shot at the black ball, also known as the 8-ball. This can be a strategic disadvantage as it limits the player's options for making a successful shot. Players may need to use skillful techniques such as banking, caroming, or playing safe to navigate this situation effectively.

No.

The 8 ball.
we ll be having only 7 balls... n the 8th ball that is black is common for both... if we pot the black ball by mistake the opponent wins...
In the game of pool, sinking the white ball (cue ball) before the black ball (8-ball) results in a loss if it happens on the same shot. This is known as scratching, and it is considered a foul. The game is typically lost if the 8-ball is pocketed prematurely, regardless of whether the player has pocketed all their designated balls. The opponent would then have the opportunity to place the 8-ball in a suitable position and continue the game.
The 8 Ball!
There are none in English Billiards. In Carom Billiards, there are none. In the Pocket Billiards games, the 8 ball is the only black ball - 7 Ball has no 8 ball, hence no black ball, but all other games include the 8 ball, so, they have 1 black ball.
