Please 'splain this to me Lucy....
I did find terms like the following...
He gave him the 5-6 and the breaks.
All he wanted was the 7,8 and the breaks.
11-8 and the breaks for 2k plus the rail.
Gave him the call 8 and the last 2 in a race to 9 for a dime a set.
9 to 8 and the breaks for 7 dollars a game and another dollar on the rail.
I offered him 2 banks spot in a race to 5.
Offered him the 7 ball.
Offered him the wild 8 and the breaks.
I played with a 9-7 and the breaks spot.
I should have ask for 11-6 and the breaks.
The eight and the breaks, two on the wire.
Gave him the 5 and the breaks and 2 on the wire in a race to 3.
I need the seven and the breaks.
I'll take the 6 and the breaks.
The player must make all the breaks (hard, wide-open, hit 1-Ball first).
I'll spot you the 8 ball.
I'll give up the last three.
I gave up the seven and the eight.
You must call your money ball.
Game on the wire instead of spotting balls.
If you make my money ball on the break, it gets spotted.
I win if my spot ball goes in on the break.
You are always on two fouls.
I get odds on the money -- especially in a ring game.

rest.

9 Ball. Opponent wanted to break on every rack, and if he make the 7, 8 or
9 he wins the rack. Probably the wild 7 & 8 since no statement of "called"
or "in order" is made.

1 Pocket. Player A has to make 11 balls to Player B's 8. $2000 per rack
plus he covers the side action.
Or if this is 9 ball (unlikely, but...) Player A has to win 11 racks to
Player B's 8 racks. Usually this would be stated as Race to 11, spot you 3.

9 Ball. It makes it clear that the 8 can be made in any order and still get
the win. Weaker player gets all the breaks.

9 Ball. If you make any of the 3 highest numbered balls on the table, you
win the game. This is better than getting the 7 & 8 because, if you're
opponent drops the 7/8 they are essentially taking away winning potential
balls on you.

Interesting one, can't believe too many players would take this one. This
makes it so that if your opponent commits a foul, they automatically lose
the game due to having 3 fouls.
