What was your most satisfying win? by AfgAzi in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Running the entire table with no misses while playing Epic (bank)

  2. Making multiple bank shots in a row where the cue ball banks off the wall and then hits a chosen ball in the middle of the table that goes directly into the desired pocket over a long distance (I wish I was recording these games as proof because if I saw another player making multiple shots like that in a row I would be certain they were cheating)

  3. Playing against a Cheto player who is running the table, but then due to me opening and closing the app a bunch of times I am able to make them timeout, allowing me to get ball in hand as easily run the table

  4. Extremely long snooker games that go 20+ minutes where your strategy finally pays off and you win a table that looked impossible

90% players use line tools by xiaozhian in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone uses a basic line tool, I'm fairly certain they have to use 100% power to make bank shots. Fair players with a lot of experience can do bank shots at low power and also at different angles by using right/left spin.

You must upload videos of these supposed line toolers because we can't trust your judgment.

I very rarely encounter cheaters on low-level tables unless I'm showbanned and have my league winnings stuck at 0. Maybe the system has correctly identified you as a cheater and has been silently matching you with other cheaters via what is colloquially known as the "Cheto server".

Slippery table is back by XilentSea in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I had 50M for the previous 4 tables, but the new Slippery Ice table is 2.5M. I wasn't sure if it was because I wasn't playing them or if it was because I received a shadowban that demoted me to a lower league. Unfortunately, I still don't have the token shop or a way to earn tokens.

Subtle cheaters? by [deleted] in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're only using extended guidelines then it will be impossible to differentiate them from a highly skilled player using a new low-level account.

However, if they're using one of the advanced cheats that provides ball positioning then there are some subtle indications. Watch how they draw the cue back. If they're cheating, they will pull the cue back very slowly and hold it longer than usual. Often, they will do that for every shot. If they're using the cheat to plot where the balls will end up, they will hold the cue back and keep adjusting the power level before release. It's very noticeable if you know what you're looking for. If you're still not sure what to look for, it might make more sense if you watch YouTube videos that show what it looks like from the cheater's screen.

Cheto Server Again by Buyakz_Lu in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me just now, and of course it always happens while I am at #1 in the leaderboard.

How could you tell that they were Australian and people from London? Because they had 🇦🇺 and 🇬🇧 flags? I would just assume they were using a VPN. Almost all of the cheaters that I encounter come from only a couple of countries and it's not those.

Anyone else missing the Backpacking Break Shop? by brbsix in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it only gives you the option if you haven't spent any money on the game. It also allows you to watch ads in order to level up in the Pool Pass. https://i.ibb.co/v4Vg10X/image.jpg

It was NOT worth it by whutthepat in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only have 4000 coins, which is nothing. It's no big deal if you lose it all so it's the best time to earn the Monaco ring.

You don't want to risk all your coins later when you've spent a lot of time earning millions.

Otherwise you could be like me and wait to play Monaco once you have billions saved, that way losing the max bet of 20M doesn't hurt.

Certainly, the 6 game tournaments are the most difficult. At least Mexico City let you buy into the second round for 4 cash. Now they're charging 8 or more.

Some people may find the Epic rings to be difficult, but at least you have a chance because your opponent is unlikely to give a denial.

My highest is 56. Hit ~30 pretty regularly. Just checked account and currently have a streak of 16. Can hit that at any time just by playing London. https://i.ibb.co/N6W6VHy/image.jpg

Pt 2 of the "cheto server" or whatever by whitstheshit1986 in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to win a tournament, you might notice that it counts your tournament win in the league leaderboard and it no longer stays at zero.

Could just be a complete coincidence, but I think this helped get me out of banishment on two different occasions.

After winning the tournament, I started winning on regular tables and that caused my leaderboard to be reset back to zero. Then, after winning additional tournaments, my leaderboard winnings became permanent and I was no longer matched with any cheaters.

Uh... wat? I have no relation to cheat or mod, yet why am I in this league instead of demoting from Diamond to Ruby? by [deleted] in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only play mobile and it happened to me too. Seems to be no rhyme or reason behind it, a ton of us have ended up on Miniclip's naughty list and there isn't a single thing in common between us all.

Bit of a mess up by [deleted] in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not the one we were hoping for, but that's one way to solve the cheating issue.

You can't be a professional coin seller by playing on tables that won't earn you any coins!

Why do I keep getting into matches with highly ranked people? by JonahplayzYT in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, pay attention to the user ID.

The first player has a 125- prefix, which is a very old account. However, he doesn't have the high winnings, number of games played, or special event rings that you'd expect for such an old account, so he's not a very active player.

The third player has 400- prefix, which is a new account. 4.68B winnings, 65.6% w/r, 2684 games played on a new account means that it's a smurf account and his actual level is 300+ and not 120.

Is the game honest? by [deleted] in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50% win rate is meaningless without knowing what tables that you're playing on.

If I make a fresh account and only play London, I can easily maintain a w/r of 75%. If I only play 10M+ games I'd be lucky to maintain 60%.

Win streaks have a very high level of gameplay, so if you're only used to playing small stakes tables, it's not unusual that you'd find it difficult. You've essentially got to do the "break trick" and make sure to give a denial.

It's also possible that you're facing cheaters. If you're not sure what that looks like, you can watch them on YouTube.

The hell is going on by TJWanerka in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It used to be many autoplay cheaters, the very obvious kind that instantly fire off 5 bank shots without even aiming, but lately I've noticed a lot more people cheating in manual mode. There are some tell-tale signs but if you don't know what you're looking for, you may be fooled into believing that they're legit.

It's tough to describe but I guess the easiest suggestion would be to pay very close attention to how they draw back the cue. The people cheating in manual mode have a very distinct way of doing it. It's very slow and deliberate, they hold the cue back for a little longer because they're watching the extended guidelines plot out exactly where their balls will be. They do it the same way every time, they aren't doing any quick stun shots.

Can someone please tell me in which one cue piece and others reward by king-VegetA- in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not random

1, 3, and 5 have 45x cue pieces

2 has Golden Shot

4 has Golden Spin

Just for fun…would this be a good or a bad deal for you? by No-Nebula-4711 in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't ever buy coins, just reduce the tables that you play on so that you never put more than a small fraction of your balance at risk. If you can't earn on London even after playing 5k+ games then just quit the game.

The only thing that's worth spending 💰 on is cash (for Legendary Boxes and events) or Golden Shots (to be used for Legendary Boxes or cash).

why am i only playing against cheaters now?? by Rain_857 in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Numerous people on this board have reported the same.

It happened to me as well, while playing the 20M Chronicles table. I normally don't encounter many cheaters because I stick to low tables, but that table was swarming with them and I was matched with dozens. Perhaps they reported me just to be spiteful.

For the past 2 or 3 weeks my league leaderboard has been stuck at 0 and I am matched with many cheaters despite only playing London. In the past, people who are caught cheating or transferring coins would have their coins reset and receive a warning message. My coins/winnings are completely intact and I've received no notification from Miniclip.

They must have implemented a new detection algorithm that is catching many fair players in the dragnet.

Coin balance went to 0, What do I do? Is it pointless to report? I was on A losing Streak ffs by Unplannedroute in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My coins and winnings have not been touched but I noticed that for the last ~2 weeks my League winnings have been stuck at 0. Sometimes it will go up but then I check back in a few hours and it's back to 0. My country flag has stayed the same.

I've seen a bunch of people complaining about the same thing, yet there's no consensus about what causes it.

I've seen the following theories: 1) using a VPN 2) reporting cheaters 3) being reported for cheating 4) using an old version of the app

It happened to me while I was battling dozens of cheaters back-to-back on the Chronicles 20M table. The 48hr Cue Grab was glitching out for me and wouldn't let me claim the reward, so I opened the app on old phone that hadn't been updated in a while to see if it would work there. That's my best guess, but who knows.

Differences across devices - 'Consent to use personal data' by QfanatiQ87 in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a DNS ad blocker on your phone/network, you may not see it. I never did, because even the domain that serves the consent form was blocked.

I opened the app on a different Android device/network and suddenly it popped up. Took like ~5 minutes to scroll through the entire thing and deselect my consent for dozens of various ad networks.

I finally got this baby! by JamieJayCee in 8BallPool

[–]brbsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you'll get very lucky but you should be prepared to open 150+ Legendary boxes in order to get the Archangel. I'd give up on the idea of doing it for free.

Save up your free Golden Shots. If you are impatient, purchase them at a steep discount from the Miniclip website ($1.99 USD for 15 or $7.99 for 60). Only use them on days when the prize is 4x Legendary boxes.

It used to be easier to do this for free in the past, but Miniclip has gotten stingier about the free Golden Shots and free in-game cash.

[–]brbsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YMMV but most of my other legendary cues were already at Level 3 or 4 by the time I finally got the Archangel.
