The Origin of Pool
Following centuries of Billiards dominated by England and France, during the
19th century a third country became obsessed with the sport of cues and balls.
The oldest Billiards games played in the USA were One-Pocket and Four-Ball Billiards
but the sport rapidly evolved with a variety of different games being played
on Pool tables, some with balls numbered 1 - 15 . The word "pool"
means a collective bet and became a term for the game when it began to be played
in 19th century "pool rooms" which were then places for betting on
horses.
Eight-ball pool was invented in America shortly after 1900 as just one of a
number of American Pool games. The balls are split into two types, spots
and stripes. The black eight-ball, although nominally of the spot type
is counted as a separate entity and the first person to pot all the balls of
their nominated type and then finish with the black wins.
In England, Eight Ball was arguably the most popular pub game of the 1980's
and 1990's. Regulars know the game simply as Pool but it should not be confused
with the older English version of Pool. So popular is this version of pool that
many modern tables in England feature 7 balls of 2 colours (often red and yellow),
instead of the more traditional numbered balls with which other versions of
pool can be played. In 1960 there were no Pool tables in Britain but by 1986
there were estimated to be around 45,000 tables in pubs and clubs, the advantage
being that the smaller tables required less space than the more traditional
12' x 6' Snooker/Billiards table.
