The History of Pool
There are many versions of pool and these
include: 8 ball, 9 ball, straight pool and billiards. The name pool
came from gamblers who met to wager bets on horse races and at that
time billiard tables were usually present. Gamblers would "pool"
their money to place large bets on certain horses. Pool is played
on a similar table to snooker i.e. similar slate bed, 6 pockets and
played with 2 cues .
