If you put the 8 ball in on the break in billiards?

Answer 1

There is no offiacal rule that says that you can win like that, however in almost all friendly games, people play like that.

well actually there are a couple of rules that might apply .1. In Most Friendly games the people that Know the rules and the game play by either BCA or CPA ( from Canada apa for the states) rules 2. on the case that you get the 8 ball On the break in BCA ,gets spotted or reracked and same person either keeps shooting or gets to break the rerack . In cpa/apa I THINK you win but I don't play cpa

Answer 2

5% for a good player. The chances of sinking the 8 on the break are different based on the size of the table and the skill of the player. If you get a lot of ball action, the ratio of pocket opening space to rail space is greater on a 7 foot table than an 8, and an 8 is better than a 9. However, most 8 ball on the break shots are performed without the 8 ball going off any rails, and it goes in a side pocket. To increase your chances, the cue ball must be placed nearly next to the head string and the rail. The contact point is a matter of preference, but the most recommended for the shot is slight follow.

Answer 3

In many common lounges and bars, the 'house" rules say this wins the game.

* Correction - Under APA rules, the largest governing body in the US, sinking the 8 ball on the break is a win. See the below link for the 8 Ball rules that govern the majority of pool players in North America.

Answer 4

Assuming a properly executed break, about 1/8 breaks. The odds increase the smaller the table - a good player will make the 8 ball 5% of the time on a none foot table. This will nearly double on a 7 foot table. The pockets are the same size on all pool tables in the US, so the smaller the table the greater open space and less distance to travel.

Answer 5

This depends upon the game being played and the object ball in play.

If the 8 ball is the object ball and the game is 8 ball, it will mean the game is over and you have won. If the 8 ball is not the object ball in 8 Ball and it goes in, under nearly all rules, you lose. For any other common game of pool, the 8 ball is simply a numbered ball.

Answer 6

LUCK... no two breaks are ever exactly the same.

Answer 7

other player wins

Rules vary from place to place and person to person. Some play with rules that if you sink the 8 on the break you win, like the APA pool league.
