Snooker

Yes.

After potting the white the ball is normally placed in the D (there may be an exception to this if the referee deemed the shot to be called a "miss" and the opponent enforces the miss rule) and from there may be shot in any direction desired.

Dennis won in 1985 against Steve Davis in the final. Dennis was famous for his glasses. He commentates now on the BBc.

In 8 Ball, the table remains "open", meaning no one has high (stripes) or low (solids) and the next player shoots. Depending uopon the rules in use, this can be "ball-in-hand" anywhere on the table or only from behind the line (the break area).

Alex won the World Snooker Championship twice. He won it in 1972 and again in 1982.

Not as much as you might think. They dont get paid per match, they get paid a daily rate. At professional level it is approx £75 per day with expenses of £15 per day.

don't know but it's definitely huge, rather play at a club and if money ain't a matter of concern just go ahead and buy it.........................

however ther are much interesting games like table tennis which might cost lesser

The first televised 147 break in snooker took place on January 11, 1982, achieved by Steve Davis against John Spencer at the Lada Classic. His prize was a Lada Riva - a car which Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson described thus:

"It is obviously essential to make sure that nobody can see who is driving the Lada. A cardboard box is therefore a vital accessory."

The green ball is worth three points in snooker.

It is the black ball in the game of pool that has the number 8 on it. In many games you have to sink it last in order to win.

There is also a toy called a "Magic" 8-ball that has a die in it that you can shake to pretend-predict the future.

The 2017/2018 snooker season is an ongoing series of professional snooker tournaments to be played between 4 May 2017 and 7 May 2018.

The Half-Butt is the name given to the longest rest in snooker.

All of them could be, but it is rare to even see two being potted in a game. It is not to the advantage of a player to do so. In fact it is a disadvantage. After potting a red, the get to choose a colour to go for, and if they get it they can go for another red. However, if they pot more than one red in one shot, they still only get to go for one colour in the next shot before having to again try for a red.

Steven Hendry is the youngest ever. Previous to him it was Alex Higgins.

Every game starts out with 72 baseballs. The average life of a baseball, is 6 putches, so if you take the average pitches thrown in a game 250 - 300, you get about 40 or 50 balls used in a game. A side note, every ball that will be used in a game has mud from Mississippi worked into the ball. This is why they are never bright white.

140 points.

A yellow pocket is the corner pocket on a snooker table which is nearest to the yellow spot.

Hardly any, which is not surprising as French billiard tables have no pockets. Currently the leading French player is Yannick Poulain, but he has had no international success.

No, but a player will have his prize money taxed.

The lowest snooker clean up is usually considered clearing the colors yellow to black which is 27 points. In theory the lowest is 13 made by clearing the pink and black though.
