Win a sure bet with Florian Kohler

How can you win a bet for sure?

Pool is a game that attracts a lot of bets. It's not uncommon, on the fringes of a classic game, to challenge each other to see who can make a particular shot. And very often, to win a bet, you have to be cunning. In this tutorial, Florian Kohler, trickshot expert and holder of numerous records, teaches you three moves that will enable you to win a bet, sometimes in a rather unacademic way.

Touching without touching

Florian Kohler's first trickshot in this tutorial may seem obvious once you know the solution. But before you know it, you'll be hard-pressed to guess how you can hit a ball balancing on a cushion and two balls without hitting the two balls themselves.

A move faster than the eye

The second shot that Florian Kohler teaches us in this tutorial is based on speed of execution. The aim here is to perform a shot that seems impossible for the simple reason that it really is. But by going very fast, and departing from the rules of billiards without it being obvious at real speed, you can win your bet.

The opposing marbles bet

This trickshot will allow you to win a bet, but it can also be used in a game situation. It's a little more technical than the previous ones. It involves compressing the cue ball against the rail by applying spin, which will allow you to make it go along the rail and thus bring in a ball that is also along the rail.
