  1. There is a fine line between what one would consider "cheating" and a player at the table being "unaware" of something he/she did... a possible accident.

    Example: If the head ball rolls off the spot when the rack is removed and the racker didn't see it, you bring it to their attention so they can re-rack.

    If the shooter moves a ball with their hand or arm while placing the bridge-hand on the table preparing for the shot, the ball is replaced to its original position. (Depending on the situation it could have been an accident, or, if the ball he moved was blocked, and he moved it to help his situation, then he could have done it on purpose to give himself a better shot at it.)

    There are so many things that con-men do.

    The best thing is - don't play with people you think are cheaters. And especially don't gamble with them.

    If you are playing with friends I doubt very seriously if they are cheating you. More likely it's an accident.

    One more thing... if you are in a league match and you think something might happen... always keep your eyes open and be aware of all situations, i.e... possible bad hits, frozen ball to the cushion, when placing the cue ball in a ball-in-hand situation... etc.

    It's a very good idea to know the rules you are playing under.

    Hope some of this helps. good luck, Jay.


  2. Before you play with them, check out their balls. . . .

  3. The best way to know if someone is cheating is to break his stick. If it breaks easily he cheats!
