People will, and of course always should, make their own minds up about everything, neither you nor I will ever change that

This however, is a fact :

Whether your opponent accidentally pots the black and loses in 8ball, or the 9 and wins in 9 ball, you have not experienced any for of luck, good or bad, whatsomever. They did.

Also, since both shots could have been identical, thus proving the statistical irrelevance of their luck being "good" or "bad", since that is purely personal opinion, as of course, is the decision as to whether any particular shot was a fluke in the first place

Back to topic - something not yet mentioned that generally appears in these threads - there is nothig whatsomever stopping people nominating pockets if they want to. Just do so in the chat box

that doesn't make it a foul if it goes somewhere else, like it should be

Is that a little dig at nick I see there?

The reason it was named funkypool was due to the fact the way the game worked on very old systems by being able to run on them quite well.

Love this post.

Same goes with that goal in the Premier League where the football deflected off the beach ball. Goes in Cricket where players will drop simple catches. Goes in Aussie Rules where the ball will randomly bounce in another direction and through the goals and in Golf where the ball will catch a small slope on the green and roll towards the hole more than anyone anticipated (Tiger Woods at the US Masters a few years ago).

In all of those examples, should the shot be nominated? Of course not. That is what makes sport fun and interesting and to some people addictive. Don't let a couple of flukes, on a recreational website let you down. As Spinner said, no one can say that they have never, ever, ever had a fluke on this site - whether it be a lucky pot or an accidental snooker which sets up your win.

Do we call these shots?:

Not the same sport, obviously...but im sure my point is proven here. All of these goals (and hole outs) were legal and stood. And these people are playing for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

They get paid regardless winning or losing.

However, i got banned for playing this game for money... so back to topic.

My point (which I failed to clearly outline) is that we play for nothing, and in the youtube examples, these guys are paid thousands of dollars. It also resulted in the other team (or players) being disadvantaged or losing their match.

So if a fluke was to happen, let it happen. As spinner said, there are plenty of pool games with chat rooms (like Yahoo Pool) where you need to call shots.

In the whole scheme of things, in my opinion, calling shots is just unnecessary. Thats all I have to say

I already said that i've played those games, doesn't fix the issue with not having it here....

???? since that post i quoted that was made 13 hours ago (at time of my post) in that 13 hours you have played 4 games of ranked 9 ball so don't go lying when people can check your results
