There used to be a lot of these tables about,when i was a kid,possibly due to it being on the telly (Freddie Trueman,Indoor League). Must've gone out of fashion.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the 5th shot the first player takes (starting at 35 seconds) a foul? He just sank the red ball then replaces it with a white one. If the red ball is off the table it must be brought up next, correct?
yes you always take the red if its in but i guess cause it was still falling and on its way to the ball case it was ok to take the white cause this is a game on time. but im not 100% sure
There is no rule about always playing with red ball except from starting position (first shot and when are all balls sunken) they take it almost every time because of it doubling ability ( when sunken doubles from that hole)
This is the first time I have ever seen this game and I love it. I play 8 ball mainly and it is obvious to me that these players are making it look easy. Thank you for putting this up. Where is this played and is it still being played there? And, what are the rule?
played mainly in england, rules are you can only make same shots 3 times in a row, then you have to make a different shot, the pockets are worth different points, the one behind the black pin are worth the most as its the most difficult shot, if you knock the white pines down you lost your entire break score, and if you hit the black pin down you lose your score entirely
Love Bar Billiards - trying to get a table for home, but the older ones are so expensive. Watching this game can anyone explain how at 2 mins 8 seconds the player accidently touches the white cue ball from the spot when drawing his cue back. The tip of the cue clearly hits the white cue ball moving it backwards, why is this not deem his shot and thus a foul shot bring the break to an end?
Seriously, how can anyone find this entertaining? It's practically the same shot over and over. I couldn't watch beyond 3 minutes and then I forwarded it to find he was still there, same shot...over and over
It can be a lot more entertaining when your playing someone with your level of skill. Where I’m from we play in a 4 pin league where there’s a peg in front of the 200, 100 and both 50’s making some of these shots a lot tougher. Also I should mention around here we have narrow tables so the shots are completely different angles
@@granttully6807 it's not about the difficulty of the game, it's obviously hard playing like that. It's about the fact that it's not very entertaining to watch because it has no variations.
It's a lot like playing mini-golf. Some people will travel to participate in a miniature golf tournament and some people will do stuff like this. And it is actually a bit harder than it looks.
At this skill level it just becomes boring to watch. That’s why such things didn’t stay popular but snooker did, one is a sport the other is pure entertainment.
Is that not a foul shot at 0.40? The red is in the trough but he plays a white... He had already picked up a white as the red fell, which he then played... I'm pretty sure he should have waited for the red and played that first - certainly when he plays the shot the red is available and unused
It's quite simple. The back row from. Left to right will give you the following point: 30, 20, 10, 20, 30 The hole in the middle is 100 The next 2 are 50 each and the o e behind the black pin is 200. Sinking white is 1 x point of hole. Red is 2 x point of hole. If you sink something you go again until you miss. To bank you points you need to at least hit 1 ball but not sink anything or knock over the white pins which is a fowl. If you knock over the black pin all your points are lost and that's pretty much it
Being a snooker player this is crap and boring. The guys have no sense of a cue action or stance. Any pissed up get in a pub could play this. I've actually seen one of these in a wmc.
@@granttully6807 still doesn't mean pool is less entertaining than the other two. I even find it quite the opposite. And yes, pool may be easier to get started with, but difficult to master.
I disagree. I've played at a much higher level at pool than bar billards. The table has very little influence on a game of pool, but a potentially massive one in BB.

Bar billiards only went because all the pubs changed to pool tables instead

it is a brilliant sport in which i would love to try it ..
The way these guys handle their rods and balls just blows me away.
Question: I always thought that you had to use the red bal when it was available or else it was a foul?
That's generally a four pin rule. These guys are playing three pin.
This was fairly disapointing. It's the same shot every time. There is hardly any variation.
Yeah they make it repetitive when they can make that first shot 90% out of all, but they are amazing in those other situations
This is dull. Sometimes it’s more fun to not be great at something

The edge of the cue ball has to travel beyond the D before the shot is deemed to have been taken.

Which you'd be lucky to do once.
You clearly have not played - its not easy. Pool is simple in comparison.

A ticking score board would help us plep enjoy it mere
Still a table in my club I’m yet to play on

It's been a while, but I don't think that's illegal.
Only mandatory to use the red on the break....
Yeah, so that's not how I've ever played a game of billiards
It's bar billiards, not billiards.
@@CA-ee1et yes I know, I used to play a lot... But nowhere near this level !
Put the White pegs in front of the 50 holes and stop this game being so BORING. Same repetitive shots over and over.
wish i knew what was going on lol

@@jaredbecker3152 cheers for explaining , kinda simple when you explain it
Looks like it should be fun but isn't.
Needs different rules.
It is quite fun actually. You're watching stupid levels. Much more fun drunk with no skill.

I used to be a fairly good snooker player years ago and I found one of these tables in a local and thought it was great!
Snooker is a beginner's game, remember.
This is probably the most boring and predictable 'sport' out there.
I've played Bar Billiards and pool as well as snooker. Pool is by far and away the easier of the 3.
