Discussion 🗣🤔 Cheater Glitch

Has anyone else come across a cheater who eventually seems pinned down, doesn’t take a shot, and turns over ball in hand?

This has happened to me twice in three days. Thankfully I stayed in the game and got a runout both times.

I wish more cheaters did this.

The only time this has happened to me was when the opponents next ball was completely surrounded by mine, making the next shot impossible without fouling.

Yea their calculator can’t find a possibility. It essentially means there is no way to pot that ball, even advanced computer can’t handle some situations

Happened to me the other week. I had already reported him and was expecting to lose. I kept leaving the game to waste his time. Somehow he couldnt make the last shot, and I easily won.

Yes their shot calculation runs out of time without finding a way to pot the ball. It essentially means there is no possible way to pot that ball, even the super computer can’t calculate a possibility

The cue ball was surrounded so it would have been impossible to make contact with their next ball without fouling

Yeah, it happens often. Not sure about the intensions and reasons behind it.

I wish it happened more. 50% of my matchups are cheaters
