Once you make some money, the game takes over and screws you. If you put the 8 ball in on the break, you win, APA. If you scratch doing it you lose. There are all sorts of rule problems and glitches here. Makes it a real joke for anybody who's a serious player. So the idea becomes the more you spend, the more they take and there's no logic behind that, it's just robbery. Cool Game. But a Ripoff.
