It is the black ball in the game of pool that has the number 8 on it. In many games you have to sink it last in order to win.

There is also a toy called a "Magic" 8-ball that has a die in it that you can shake to pretend-predict the future.

The flying 8 ball is associated with the custom vehicle modification scene - usually painted on a vehicle or worn as a patch by a biker or triker. The symbol usually denotes the vehicle or owner is totally off the wall regarding extreme mods or modding 'respectable' vehicles to create something subversive.

Because when you hit it in at the end of the game, you win, but if you hit it in before, you lose. But don't be a poor sport...
