Ideas On How To Win Your Billiard Game

 

The first and most significant point in match play is to know how to lose. Lose cheerfully, generously, and like a sportsman. This is the first great law of billiard, and the second is like unto it to win modestly, cheerfully, generously, and like a sportsman.

 

The entity of match play is to win, but no credit goes to a man who does not win fairly and squarely. A victory is a defeat if it is other than fair. Yet again I say to win is the object, and to do so, one should play to the last ounce of his strength, the last gasp of his breath, and the last scrap of his nerve. If you do so and lose, the better man won. If you do not, you have robbed your opponent of his right of beating your best. Be fair to both him and yourself.

 

"The Play's the thing," and in match play a good defeat is far more creditable than a hollow victory. Play billiard for the game's sake. Play it for the men you meet, the friends you make, and the pleasure you may give to the public by the hard working yet sporting game that is owed them by their presence at the match.

 

Many billiard players feel they owe the public nothing, and are granting a favor by playing. It is my belief that when the public so honors a player that they attend matches, that player is in duty bound to give of his best, freely, willingly, and cheerfully, for only by so doing can he pays back the honors paid him. The billiard star of today owes his public as much as the actor owes the audience, and only by meeting his obligations can billiard be retained in public favour. The players get their reward in the personal popularity they gain by their conscientious work.

 

There is another factor that is even stronger than this, that will always produce fine billiard in championship events. It is the competitive spirit that is the breath of life to every true sportsman: the desire to prove to him that he can beat the best of the other man; the real regret that comes when he wins, and feels the loser was not at his best. 

 

The dedicated competitive spirit that stimulates a match player also increases the nervous strain. This should be recognized by tournament committees, and the conditions of play should be as nearly standardized as weather permits.

 

The first thing to fix firmly in your mind in playing a match, is never to allow your opponent to play a shot he likes if it is possible to force him to make one he does not. Study your opponent both on and off the table. Look for a weakness, and, once finding it, pound it without mercy. Remember that you do not decide your mode of attack. It is decided for you by the weakness of your opponent.

 

If you are playing a very steady man, do not strive to beat him at his own game. He is better at it than you in many cases, so go in and hit to win. On the other hand, if you find that your opponent is wild and prone to miss, play safe and reap the full crop of his errors. It saves you trouble and takes his confidence.
