Billiards Online

Billiard Magic.com has just been introduced online, and just as poker became exceedingly popular so will billiards. Billiards refers to sports played on a baize-covered table with a cue including various versions of pool, snooker and carom, which is popular in Asia and South America.

Pool is by far the most common of the billiards games. The idea is to sink your balls into the pockets before your opponent sinks theirs. There are variations to the game but the most widely held version of the game is Eight ball. In this version the eight ball spells doom if sunk before you have completed sinking the rest of your balls. After you have knocked all of your balls into pockets then you must sink the eight ball.

The British have their own version of pool called Snooker. In this game the table is larger than the American version and has fifteen red balls and six different colored balls. As with the American version players will use a white cue ball to push the other balls into pockets. However the British version works on a point system with assorted balls with various point values.

The final game is Carom. It is the least known billiards game and probably the most difficult. The object of Carom is to hit two object balls with one stroke.

Now all three versions of billiards are available to play and wager online with Billiard Magic.com. The site has promised the latest programming and graphics technology in fine tuning your skill. Simply use the computer’s mouse to angle the cue and strike the ball. It is possible to use varying strengths to gain the desired effect.

Many traditional games of skill have found new popularity online and this version of billiards takes a little getting used to but it is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.
