What happens if you pot the white ball in pool?

Answer 1

Oh, it's okay friend, we all make mistakes sometimes. If you pot the white ball in pool, it's called a "scratch" or a "foul." Don't worry, it just means your opponent gets ball in hand, and you can use it as a learning experience to improve your game next time. Just remember, there are always happy little accidents in life, and it's all part of the journey.

Answer 2

If you pot the white ball in pool, it is considered a foul and your opponent will receive ball-in-hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table before taking their shot. This is because the white ball, also known as the cue ball, should not be pocketed during regular play. Potting the white ball is a common mistake for beginners but can be avoided with proper cue ball control and aiming techniques.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, if you sink the white ball in pool, you basically just committed the ultimate party foul. It's like scoring a touchdown for the other team or wearing socks with sandals - total disaster. So, yeah, don't do that unless you want to be the laughingstock of the pool table.

Answer 4

If you're talking about the game of pool - and you pot a 'spot' and a 'stripe' ball off the break - you have a choice of which to go for next. Most people who do this off the break choose whichever set of balls are in the best position to clear the table.

Answer 5

If you hit/pot the black and then foul with the white your opponent receives 7 points, as the value of the colour Black is 7.

Answer 6

In pool, you lose the rack.

In snooker, it's a foul and seven points to your opponent.

Answer 7

Scratch. You return ball to top of table behind the break line and shoot from there can not hit balls inside break line unless you bank shot it down and back.
