What was the most viewed snooker match ever?
The most viewed snooker match ever is widely considered to be the 1985 World Snooker Championship final between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor. This iconic match, held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, ended in a dramatic conclusion with Taylor winning 18-17 after a tense decider. It attracted an estimated audience of 18.5 million viewers in the UK, making it a landmark moment in snooker history. The match is remembered not only for its high stakes but also for its impact on the popularity of the sport.
Snooker champion Steve Davis is 59 years old (birthdate: August 22, 1957).
What is the highest break in snooker ever made?
The highest snooker break possible with the benefit of an opponent's foul is 155 (1 free ball, 1 Black, 15 reds, 15 blacks and then the six colours).
Ronnie O'Sullivan holds the record for the most maximums in official competition, having made ten. The first televised 147 was by Steve Davis. The youngest televised 147-breaker is Ding Junhui who at the time was 19 years old. Ding broke the record in the Masters Tournament 2007. The record for a single session is held by Adrian Gunnell who made three 147 breaks in four frames during a practice session in Telford in 2003. On 13 March 2007, Ronnie O'Sullivan made two maximum breaks against local players during an exhibition match in Cornwall. Peter Ebdon made maximum breaks in consecutive frames during an exhibition match in Bournemouth against Steve Davis in 2000. Ken Doherty is so far the only player to have had a televised final black miss on a 147 attempt, at the 2000 Masters final.
At least three breaks in excess of 147 have been recorded. A 149 by Tony Drago in West Norwood, UK in 1998 is recorded by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest. In that match Drago was foul snookered and chose the brown as the free ball, to score one point. He then potted the brown again, for four more points, before potting 13 reds and 13 blacks, a red and a pink, a red and a blue, then all the colours. In October 2004, during qualifying for the UK Championship, Jamie Burnett achieved a 148 against Leo Fernandez, becoming the first player to achieve a break of more than 147 in a professional match.
Wally West was reported to have made a 151 break in the final of a club competition in Hounslow in 1976. Jamie Cope was reported to have made a break of 155 in a practice frame during 2005.

Can you lose weight by playing snooker?
It's better than sitting and watching tv, though you still probably only burn around 100-150 calories per hour. What you eat (or don't eat) is just as important in weight loss.
# To lead (another) into a situation in which all possible choices are undesirable; trap. # To fool; dupe: "Snookered by a lot of malarkey about drilling costs, a Texas jury … added $3 billion of punitive damages" (New Republic). # To leave one's opponent in the game of snooker unable to take a direct shot without striking a ball out of the required order.
In Britain pool and snooker players call side what is the US name?
It is hard to answer this without knowing what "Call Side" is.
In the USA (as a general rule) balls are called by one of two sets (in 8 ball); either HIGH / LOW or by STRIPES / SOLIDS - the 8 ball divides the two sets with the HIGH being STRIPES (9 - 15) and LOW being SOLIDS (1 - 7); the 8 ball of course is the object ball. Players select these sets based upon differing rules dependent on the type of play, as well as the area (nationally) you are playing in.
Different forms of play are also practiced. Call shots (meaning you must call the pocket, and if more than a simple shot, the form of the shot, ie: cue will contact the 5, the 5 will glance the 7 and pocket in this pocket). Call Object (meaning you must call the pocket for the object ball - very common) and deviations from those: Object ball must be banked, object ball must follow previous pocketed ball, etc.
I'm not sure that will answer your question as I don't know what calling sides is, but maybe it is close.
"Side" in Brittain is what we call "English" in America. It is the intentional spin, either Left or Right, that is put on the cue ball.
