Ok so I KINDA lost a bet...?

Question

I was playing a game of pool and well there were some high stakes up for grabs. I was kicking @ss when I accidentally put in the 8 ball:( OOPS! Well we agreed to put the 8 ball back on the table to see how the rest of the game would play out.

I won! Should that at least given me the chance for a redo? He is calling bullsh*t and wants me to "pay up" for my loss. I think I am intitled to a rematch. What do you think?

I am going to pay up because I lost but.... But should I HAVE to?!

Answer 1

if you make the 8 ball before its time  you LOSE! There is no provision for ACCIDENTS because ANYone who makes the 8 ball before its time did it by ACCIDENT. That is how the game is played.

The RULE states: .................If you make the 8 by ACCIDENT              you LOSE! so being YOU made the 8 by ACCIDENT you LOST................Just because you played the game OUT to see what WOULD have happened doesn't mean that your opponent didn't win fair and square.

in your own words you said " We agreed to see how the game "WOULD" have turned out"

NOT  "We agreed to LET IT SLIDE".

Answer 2

According to the rules of pool, you lost.  If you sink the 8 ball in a typical bar/pub situation you've lost.  He let you take it out so you could continue to enjoy the game.  But you still lost, no matter what.

He should not give you a rematch out of any obligation.  You didn't nearly lose, or technically lose, you lost fair and square.

Trying to go back and make excuses just makes you look bad.

Answer 3

Just have s*x with him on the pool table, and he'll forget about the money you owe him.

Answer 4

When you pocketed the 8-ball out of turn, game over, you lost.  Now, if the guy was dumb enough to let that slide and put the 8-ball back on the table and continue the game, that's his own dumbass fault.  If it was me, I would have taken your money from that game and I certainly would have offered you a chance to get it back, that's just common gambler's courtesy.  The real issue is what was said after you pocketed the 8-ball.  Was it more like, "Oh well, you lost, let's just see what would have happened anyway."?  Or was it more like,"I don't want to win like that, let's keep playing."?  Again, if he was dumb enough to refuse the victory when he had, tough s**t for him.

Answer 5
