I was in the poolhall and a local player wanted to play me some 9ball, race to five for 100$. So he said to me "I'll even give you a generous spot." I said okay and he offered me a spot where all I would need to do is hit the object ball into a rail and that would count as making the shot, saying the rail would become my pocket.
Some people would think at first that this is a lot of weight, when in reality it is a hustle. If the cue ball hits a rail its a scratch, so if someone left three consecutive safeties where the opponent needed to kick at the object ball they would be three fouled and automatically lose. I knew this and told him in order for me to do this he would need to give me the breaks... He said ok, and I managed to control the cue ball on my break, but get the nine to hit a rail 4 times in a row. the fifth time the nine and the cue ball hit a rail and the score was 4 - 1. The next game I managed to get the cue ball to stop center of the table and the nineball hit a cushion so I took his C-note and. called it a day...
