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.
