Abstract

See full text

A method for determining the likelihoods of a cue sport player completing a run of shots for each of a plurality of non-break ball patterns is provided. The method initially involves operating a computer to retrieve a non-break ball pattern of the plurality of non-break ball patterns and to then facilitate the positioning of balls on a cue sport table in accordance with the non-break ball pattern. The positioning may be accomplished by use of a projector under control of the computer that projects ball positioning patterns on the sport table. The progress of the cue sport player through a run of the balls on the table is then monitored and the outcome of that progress, e.g. the number of balls in a run that are pocketed are recorded in association with the current non-break ball pattern. The procedure is repeated for further non-break ball patterns of the plurality of non-break ball patterns and the computer is then used to determine odds associated with runs for each of the non-break ball pattern based on the recorded outcomes.
