Snooker:

Snooker is a cue sport that is played on a large baize-covered  table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. A regulation (full-size) table is 12 ft Ã— 6 ft (3.7 m Ã— 1.8 m). It is played using a cue andsnooker balls : one white cue ball, 15 red balls worth one point each, and six balls of different colours yellow (2 points), green (3), brown (4), blue (5), pink (6) and black (7). A player (or team) wins a frame (individual game) of snooker by scoring more points than the opponent(s), using the cue ball to pot the red and coloured balls. A player wins a match when a certain number of frames have been won.

Snooker, generally regarded as having been invented in India by British Army officers, is particularly popular in many of the English-speaking and Commonwealth countries, with top professional players attaining multi-million pound career earnings from the game.

The object of the game is to score more points than the opponent by potting object balls in a predefined order. At the start of a frame, the balls are positioned as shown and the players take it in turns to hit a shot in a single strike from the tip of the cue, their aim being to pot one of the red balls and score a point. If they do pot at least one red, then it remains in the pocket and they are allowed another shot - this time the aim being to pot one of the colours. If successful, then they gain the value of the colour potted. It is returned to its correct position on the table and they must try to pot another red again. This process continues until they fail to pot the desired ball, at which point their opponent comes back to the table to play the next shot. The game continues in this manner until all the reds are potted and only the 6 colours are left on the table; at that point the aim is then to pot the colours in the order yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black. When a colour is potted in this phase of a frame, it remains off the table. When the final ball is potted, the player with the most points wins (courtesy:Wikipedia )

I have watched this game personally. An indoor game,can be played wearing a suit and tie, can enjoy drinks in between alongwith company of a beautiful woman. But the lust to score over others and winning the competitive battle remains the primary motive. So what ,if the game is played on a large table alongwith the pointed sticks.A champion player LOST on that day with an amateur,inside the tournament with a wild card entry,a teenager girl. The champ felt disgraced and humiliated. Somebody should have told him about me and I would have advised him to remain inddors in his own house as in his personal horoscope,that star day was very bad. with that he would have avoided the worst of his career that day.
