Hahaha, he asked what was the prize for doing the maximum points, someone told him it was 10k, he thought it was too cheap, so he didn't go for the max on purpose
He essentially potted the pink ball purpose (6 points) when he could have done the black (7 points) and so he purposely threw the 10k for being to cheap by ending up with 146 instead of 147
Black is the highest ball. Reds are worth 1, always have to sink a red before you get to go for anything else. He PURPOSELY went for the pink ball which is only worth 6 points when he could of easily cleared the table hitting only Red and Black ball for what's called a "Maximum Break". It's the highest amount of points you can achieve in snooker. Tournament sponsors will often of not always set an amount for a maximum break, like icing on a cake. They gain revenue through people watching these elite players play. He felt the amount was not worthy of his skills, so he purposely choses not to do a maximum break at thier tournament.
@@RedFloyd469 It's a term used by little salad tossing goofs trying to play tough guy. every one of them a coward up front. you'll never hear it in person and for good reason... little bitches. lol
He it is true - he did purposely take the pink and "settle" for 146 - BUT - at 6:05 you will see the pink ball is a sure shot. The black is not. The real reason he took the pink was to avoid the possible embarrassment of going for the 10,000 £ and missing. If he tries and misses then he did not get the 147 (and money) because he failed. But if he takes the sure pink and ends with 146 then he did not get the 147 (and the money) because "he didn't care" and he is "Snooker God" (which he is anyway). Going pink was a win win for him and his reputation. If the black was a more definite shot he would have gone for it.
@@ShimonFrankel the pink was a sure shot because he set it up this way. He could have easily set up to aim the black, as he did flawlessly 15 times in a row before.
Was 147000£, sometimes there were cars as prices and so on.. but 147's has become more common that it used to be so the prizes dropped. Sponsors may still have bonuses for it.. And the prize money for winning tournaments are higher now, so they aren't struggling economically anyways..
I understand that some people may be mad at how for not doing the 147, but think for a bit, in a few years allot of people will say "i was there when Ronnie made one 147", people that were here will reply " i was there when he made THE 146 on purpose" :)
If he would have made 147, it would just be "another 147." But the atmosphere in the room when he PURPOSELY shot 146 to prove a point would have been something magical. No doubt this frame will be talked about for years.
147 is the maximum score, achievable only by alternating between the black ball (7 points) and each red ball, although it is possible to pocket other colors between red balls for 2-6 points. The black ball is pulled back out to its starting position each time, until all the red balls have been pocketed, at which point the other colors must be pocketed in descending point order. The catch is what Sullivan does at 6:03, where he clearly has a shot on the black ball, but chooses not to sink it, and instead sinks the pink ball (6 points,) and plays an otherwise flawless game, giving him a final score of 146. He does this because he feels the prize money for a perfect run is too low, at what I believe the commentator says is 10K pounds for a perfect break, plus another 2K for highest break across the tournament? Either because Sullivan feels the prize money is too low, or, as the title says, "Because only he can," he makes an active decision to deliberately score one point less than the maximum, cocky bastard that he is.
@@mandypal2045 Snooker isn't the only he can play though. You should watch Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle. It's a really cool series where he does different ball games as well.
Unbelievable!!! The man can literally play god at the snooker table! Some world class players never have a 147 in their career... Ronnie decides if he wants one or not!
Only 68 players have a 147 in tournament play. I know nothing about professional snooker players but I have to assume that there are players who are not considered "world class" that have gotten in the zone and done it. So the question is how many "world class" players are there? Maybe your disagreement steams from you each having a different idea of what defines a "world class" player.
cheeky bugger - and completely joyful to watch. We're talking about the 146 we wouldn't talk about a 147. To pass it up for fun is a sign of his genius and his wish to entertain the crowd. bravo, love it!
For those who don’t understand. The max score for snooker is 147, and to achieve that you must first sink all 15 red balls with each red followed immediately by the black ball. When you sink a red ball you can nominate the black or colored balls to sink next to maximize your points. The point system is as follows Black (7), Pink (6), Blue (5), Brown (4), Green (3), Yellow (2). The black and colored balls reset every time they are sunk. So it’s possible to go from Red to Black 15 times in a row to give you 120 points. Then after all the reds are gone you sink the colors in ascending order of points ending with the black ball giving you 147. With every red ball sunk you need to put the que ball in a position to sink the black for maximum points as the black yields 7. This will give you a perfect score. At the 6:00 minute mark he purposely puts the que ball in a position to sink the pink instead of the black. Meaning his max score can only be 146 because he purposely chose the 6 point pink over 7 point black.
Because the prize for scoring 147 points is only 10,000$ and he wanted to laught at promotors.. 147points is very difficult to make nowadays so the prize should be much higher
It's not arrogance, as already stated, it's making a point. I know snooker doesn't have the sponsorships it used to, but hitting a maxi is incredibly hard, it's more than just "potting the balls" its planning your shot, you're always shots ahead in your mind. It's an incredible talent to see someone do it and imo £10k doesn't do it justice. Well done, Ronnie!
...and that's what makes him also known as a very selfish player at the same time, that's also why he'll never be known as the peoples champ unlike Alex & Jimmy, those 2 would never have screwed the crowd that way or walk out on a match like against Hendry, they play for the crowd whereas Ronnie plays for himself. Great player no doubt but attitude stinks, he could have put 100 homeless people up for the night in hotel rooms with a hot meal with that wasted money,...that's the selfish side of him.
Well he can be selfish...unfortunately. I was always a huge fan of jimmy White and Alex Higgins. Crowd-pleasers all the way. Jimmy is still playing well today! RIP Alex.
agreed, but the days of getting 147k are long gone, given that there is only a hand full made every year they should do some kind of tournament rollover.

+Danny Smith when I 1st saw this break I was repeating that shot over and over again, I called everyone I knew to tell them they must see it. fucking ridiculous.
@@CaalamusTube First of all, let me tell you, yes, I was missing the point, as I am not quite sure what your point was? The numbers, that football players carry are not on the snooker balls? Or are you referring to the fact, that pool ore eight-ball is better known in the US, but inferior to snooker? Maybe you can explain it to me. But do not think at all, that not understanding a joke, or missing a point, even completely, poses a situation for name calling. Do you? So why do it? As to difference between a question and observation. As a non native English speaker, I do not come across that style very often, where an observation is posed with a question in the end. It is British style of course, isn't it? ;-) I learned that in school, sure. But that was long time ago. I was not thinking of that at all, because, to tell you the truth: I thought you are a confused Yank, instead it turns out you are a sophisticated Brit!
We can perfect it, we actually have the technology. There isn't much point to it though, so unless we have a pretty rich bored investor, or a company looking for an ad very, VERY limited in target audience, we won't see it soon.
david bryan Ai has a very particular reason why it will win. Ai learns; if Ronnie plays a few games with it, it will start to play like Ronnie and then later, it will have a beyond skill level. Since it is Ai, it scans many things most snooker players can’t scan and that is where to hit the ball at a very complex state, it will know how many times it has to hit edges better than anyone else, where, etc. An Ai can do anything, you could find a snooker game on say the App Store that has Ai and it could be programmed to play like Ronnie. So, in conclusion if it keeps learning, it will always win later on.
He hasn't won the World Championships since 2013. He is not anywhere near as dominant as the players you list above. If you want to see true dominance in British sport, check Phil Taylor's record.
146 is rarer than a maximum and he obviously demonstrated that a maximum was easily within his grasp. Anyone disappointed with his play is missing the point. You go to a tournament to see a profound skill in action and Ronnie did just that. The 146 demonstrates a prowess capable of demanding a higher purse than a measly 10k pounds. And only one man in the world can brush it off in such a cavalier attitude. Good for him.
A purse that weighs 10,000 pounds would be so huge.... Could probably put a car into that. That still doesn't explain why that blonde kept taking the balls out of the pockets and putting them back on the table. He should have smacked her with his stick. At least security should have removed her if nothing else.
"Nobody watches it"??? Snooker is in the top 20 most watched sports around the world. It is more popular than Athletics, Ice Hockey, Cycling, Swimming, WWE (which isn't really a sport but an entertainment show, just brought it up because it's huge in america and I assume you're one after you wrote about the WNBA and the NBA), ...
You should stop asuming. :) I'm not a brit. Also there are a lot of professional snooker events outside of the UK and China: German masters, European masters (Belgium), Riga Masters (Latvia), Indian Open, ... That it is popular in 2 of the most populated countries in the world (China and India) probably has something to do with the fact that it is constantly in the top 20 of most popular sports in the world.
The moment Ronnie retires will be the day I'll have nothing to watch snooker for! He's the only player that makes it exiting. While the other 90% are nothing but boring. Still even the ones worth watching like Higgins, Trump, Selby, Robertson don't entertain like Ronnie does. His smile makes me smile.
+richard cunningham Ronnie is in a league of his own, and always has been. In some cases he is playing much better now than he did when he was younger. Since working with Steve peters and Ray reardon he has learned discipline, he doesn't let anything upset him these days and just takes the game as a game and not so serious, even his safety play has improved and is better than most players in the current ranking. If only there were more box office players like Ronnie the game would be booming with geniuses. As for the wage, all the pros get paid differently depending on what they win, like high break prize, maxi prize, exhibitions etc
+safar ektal I saw the highlights, not the full match. Binghams game has definitely improved since his unbelievable performance in the premier league a few years back. He's a great player.
+TomCoppell, on the other end of the scale is Peter Ebdon. It is not that I don't like the guy, he is just too slow for me to watch. I loved it when Ronnie was mocking him for playing too slow.
The clue of how good is he is reflected after the poke, re watch and look at where the white ball stop. The white ball is ready for the next poke - he target and prepared it for black of course. The placing is so good that the opportunity never stop. At 6:03 he made his point, he intentionally skew the white ball not to follow and ready for black but slice to the right and got pink, thus -1 from reaching maximum point, as saying "your prize money ? Nahh too small". I still remember watching this with jaw dropped.
How many people are there out there, really, who can make the deliberate choice of scoring 146 instead of 147? How many people can comfortably do that? Superior play.
minimeno57 😂 I like idea of Mr Bean bumbling through a cocaine deal in 80's Miami, perhaps enraging an ill-humoured Columbian supplier by repeatedly failing to perform a simple task, the dozy twat
It's a competition, to be sure. I wouldn't call it a sport. The deal is - if you're a fat slob and can still be very good in whatever it is you're doing, it's not a sport.
you obviously did not understand what a sport means. sport does not mean it has to be physical but i guess anyway you are old. cause 90% its older people who comes with this ridiculous argument.
I'll have to direct your ignorance to the concept of mind-sports. It's as taxing on the mind to learn how to play chess at a competitive level than it is on the body to learn any physical sport. Snooker sits comfortably in the middle where you need an intuitive knowledge of momentum and bounce angles, and the hand-eye coordination to apply the exact amount of force to the ball in the right angle so it spins (or not) as far as you need it to.
Basically he was going for the perfect, max score he could achieve, but at 6:06 he unexpectedly didn't go for the black ball. Basically he just trolled everyone.
I think the majority of us can agree that we have no idea why this is in our recommendations. I'm from a different side of the planet and have no clue how to play this game. But I can't stop watching...
Yes totally agree..because it's just want to show how great it is you can feel n shocked everybody emotions..Ronnie even don't fucking care how important it was..because he just extremely loves playing >SNOOKER
whether or not you understand the rules of this game, you gotta appreciate the talent in the dude sinking in any ball he aimed at! especially if you have tried pool at your local pub
Playing pool does not really tell you how hard Snooker is in comparison (My high break is 44) snooker is crazy difficult the table is huge and if you are not on form, you are making nothing.. Pool is piss easy by comparison which is no surprise as a snooker table is 4x the size
There are a lot of silly comments here, obviously made by those who don't understand the game. This not pool - this is a far more difficult game, on a larger table. A maximum of 147 points is rare, there have only been 139 maximum breaks made in professional tournament play since Steve Davis managed the first in 1982. Many professional players have never achieved even one! O'Sullivan is credited with being the most 'natural' player the game has ever had. Apart from anything else, he can play equally well either handed - a huge advantage on a table which is 12 x 6 feet. He deliberately blew the score (to a 146) in protest at the ridiculously low prize being offered for achieving a maximum. I can remember when £147,000 was on offer.
I feel sad for that lady, she tries her best to make this one the fastest attempt from the very first ball. Look how quick she count and bring back balls.
Going for a 147 can often mean taking risks that could lose you the match if it goes wrong; so knowing what the prize is can inform the players shot selection. Just asking if there is a prize and how much it is isn't arrogance, it's common sense. He gets a lot of stick for stuff like this but he's right in the reasoning for it. As for why he seems to protest about the prize so much; there are a lot of players now who can win tournaments so taking that risk for a £4,000 or even a £10,000 prize and potentially losing the match due to trying to force harder shots, and missing out on the chance at a £100k-£250k prize for getting to the final just isn't worth it and that's not great for the viewers at home. He just wants the prize to reflect the difficulty and the risk; which in turn will make more players go for it and that creates better entertainment for us.
erm, no, not at all. hed already won the frame by a mile. he was on a century. this is just ronnie trolling as only ronnie can afford to with predictable results; fanboys defending him and critics accusing him of dragging the sport down. ronnie won the match, either way. despite our fond memories and media grey outs i honestly dont think theres ever been a genius, in any field, ever, that wasnt 'difficult'.
the problem is the next generation are all Chinese, right now Chinese snooker has 100x the money British snooker has, but what they dont have is O'Sullivan. Once he retires for good, its almost certain the World Championship will sack off the Crucible and go to China,.
Players like Ronnie keep the game alive in the UK - the haters will have nothing left to hate when the game packs up and moves to China - the crucible etc are all on borrowed time
Nah snooker will always be played over here as well as in China. Let's not forget the Chinese viewers that tune into the tournaments like the world over here. It is an international sport.
9Ballr He already has. He chose to get 146. The reason he chose not to get 147 was because he wanted to protest against the low prize for getting 147. This is because of the incredible skill that’s required to get such a score.
I love it. Look how spoilt people are - that they demand a 147 from Ronnie. He can do what the fuck he wants. "Disrespect"? Why are you all tuning into UA-cam to watch it then? He's simply box office stuff: exciting, edge of your seat genius. If you don't like him, go and watch 20 frames of mark selby.
The time it took ebdon to take one shot, i had a shit shave shower cooked my dinner ate the dinner and then done a 147 at my local came back and hes still chalking the cue
Anyone who criticizes Ronnie for this 146 is spiritually and emotionally dead These soulless joyless people want snooker taken over by robots who make a 147 with every visit to the table
Anant Puri wat u make of federer now. Amazing wat he achieved this year. Ps I noticed your comment was written over a year ago 👍👍👍 ✌️&❤️ fae 🏴🏴🏴
Basically if he kept scoring a red-black pattern until all the reds were gone, he would have had the colored balls left, and if he made those, he would have scored a 147 the "max" score. He found out the prize was only 10k-12k so at 6:03 he instead hit the pink ball, which I'd worth one point less than the black this meant that he intentionally got a 146 as a middle finger to the prize money
I don't understand the rules, but I think I kindof picked up that it's red ball, other color ball, red ball, other color balls etc. and then spot the other color balls until there are no red balls left and then get all the other color balls at the end. I'm sure that's not exactly right but this guy is really really good. He seems to naturally think in advance almost effortlessly.
you are right, thats how it is played, colored balls have different values, the black is the most valuable (7 points), than the pink (6 points), blue (5 points) etc. so to reach the maximum you should play like red, black, red, black, red, black every time, but he deliberatley used the pink once insted of balck not to reach the maximum but max-1
Im always amazed by watching these guys. Às anyone who has ever played pool knows its one thing to make difficult shots which a lot of people can do. Its a completely different thing though to be able to control the que ball like these guys do. Just amazing how accurate they are with their cue ball leaves

147 is the maximum score, achievable only by alternating between the black ball (7 points) and each red ball, although it is possible to pocket other colors between red balls for 2-6 points. The black ball is pulled back out to its starting position each time, until all the red balls have been pocketed, at which point the other colors must be pocketed in descending point order.

Only 68 players have a 147 in tournament play. I know nothing about professional snooker players but I have to assume that there are players who are not considered "world class" that have gotten in the zone and done it. So the question is how many "world class" players are there? Maybe your disagreement steams from you each having a different idea of what defines a "world class" player.
That was probably the most elaborate troll in snooker's history.
If you're playing against Sullivan ... it's just a one man's game, you're just gonna sit there watching him win it all... damnit
An Irish man came relatively close a week or two ago I think. Then again that was the only match I've ever watched. Nothing else was on

you got 147 likes
For those who don’t understand. The max score for snooker is 147, and to achieve that you must first sink all 15 red balls with each red followed immediately by the black ball.
When you sink a red ball you can nominate the black or colored balls to sink next to maximize your points.
The point system is as follows Black (7), Pink (6), Blue (5), Brown (4), Green (3), Yellow (2).
The black and colored balls reset every time they are sunk. So it’s possible to go from Red to Black 15 times in a row to give you 120 points. Then after all the reds are gone you sink the colors in ascending order of points ending with the black ball giving you 147.
With every red ball sunk you need to put the que ball in a position to sink the black for maximum points as the black yields 7. This will give you a perfect score.
At the 6:00 minute mark he purposely puts the que ball in a position to sink the pink instead of the black. Meaning his max score can only be 146 because he purposely chose the 6 point pink over 7 point black.
Why would he do that though?
Because the prize for scoring 147 points is only 10,000$ and he wanted to laught at promotors.. 147points is very difficult to make nowadays so the prize should be much higher
jadowity wiktor oh ok thanks
Thanks man !
Thank you! Chief
It's not arrogance, as already stated, it's making a point. I know snooker doesn't have the sponsorships it used to, but hitting a maxi is incredibly hard, it's more than just "potting the balls" its planning your shot, you're always shots ahead in your mind. It's an incredible talent to see someone do it and imo £10k doesn't do it justice. Well done, Ronnie!
The problem was too many people kept doing it. That’s why they lowered the price but even then, 10k is way too low for a perfect score.
No other player would have done this. Ronnie is a true original snooker genius.
...and that's what makes him also known as a very selfish player at the same time, that's also why he'll never be known as the peoples champ unlike Alex & Jimmy, those 2 would never have screwed the crowd that way or walk out on a match like against Hendry, they play for the crowd whereas Ronnie plays for himself.
Great player no doubt but attitude stinks, he could have put 100 homeless people up for the night in hotel rooms with a hot meal with that wasted money,...that's the selfish side of him.
Well he can be selfish...unfortunately. I was always a huge fan of jimmy White and Alex Higgins. Crowd-pleasers all the way. Jimmy is still playing well today! RIP Alex.

Yep too tue, which is why I never had much love for them either.
the money wasnt deleted from existence the people who would have payed him 10k can now use it for the same purpose
£10000 for a 147 break isnt worth it. It deserves more and he made his point....
agreed, but the days of getting 147k are long gone, given that there is only a hand full made every year they should do some kind of tournament rollover.
There was 13 made the last season alone. It's no longer a once in a lifetime event.

Enjoy him while you can. You won't live long enough to see anyone like him again. Pure Einstein at his trade.
it's not hard to tell that Ronnie's interests are not money prizes but a sense of joy when he achieved 146.
Sort of. He specifically chose 146 rather than 147 to send a message.
Because he wants more money for it secondary. Because he deserves more respect from them primarily. £10k really isn't enough.

@@CaalamusTube First of all, let me tell you, yes, I was missing the point, as I am not quite sure what your point was? The numbers, that football players carry are not on the snooker balls? Or are you referring to the fact, that pool ore eight-ball is better known in the US, but inferior to snooker? Maybe you can explain it to me.
But do not think at all, that not understanding a joke, or missing a point, even completely, poses a situation for name calling. Do you? So why do it?

*Let him play AI and robots.* He is beyond human level at this stage.
No, AI beats him every time.
AI still needs a physical interface in order to play snooker. It needs to chalk the cue also :)
We can perfect it, we actually have the technology.
There isn't much point to it though, so unless we have a pretty rich bored investor, or a company looking for an ad very, VERY limited in target audience, we won't see it soon.
david bryan Ai has a very particular reason why it will win. Ai learns; if Ronnie plays a few games with it, it will start to play like Ronnie and then later, it will have a beyond skill level. Since it is Ai, it scans many things most snooker players can’t scan and that is where to hit the ball at a very complex state, it will know how many times it has to hit edges better than anyone else, where, etc. An Ai can do anything, you could find a snooker game on say the App Store that has Ai and it could be programmed to play like Ronnie. So, in conclusion if it keeps learning, it will always win later on.
He hasn't won the World Championships since 2013. He is not anywhere near as dominant as the players you list above. If you want to see true dominance in British sport, check Phil Taylor's record.
146 is rarer than a maximum and he obviously demonstrated that a maximum was easily within his grasp. Anyone disappointed with his play is missing the point. You go to a tournament to see a profound skill in action and Ronnie did just that. The 146 demonstrates a prowess capable of demanding a higher purse than a measly 10k pounds. And only one man in the world can brush it off in such a cavalier attitude. Good for him.
A purse that weighs 10,000 pounds would be so huge.... Could probably put a car into that. That still doesn't explain why that blonde kept taking the balls out of the pockets and putting them back on the table. He should have smacked her with his stick. At least security should have removed her if nothing else.
He has truly blessed the world of snooker with his existence. He is to this sport what players like Messi are to football. A true genius.
"Nobody watches it"??? Snooker is in the top 20 most watched sports around the world. It is more popular than Athletics, Ice Hockey, Cycling, Swimming, WWE (which isn't really a sport but an entertainment show, just brought it up because it's huge in america and I assume you're one after you wrote about the WNBA and the NBA), ...
They can't risk more than 10k!
You should stop asuming. :) I'm not a brit. Also there are a lot of professional snooker events outside of the UK and China: German masters, European masters (Belgium), Riga Masters (Latvia), Indian Open, ... That it is popular in 2 of the most populated countries in the world (China and India) probably has something to do with the fact that it is constantly in the top 20 of most popular sports in the world.

The moment Ronnie retires will be the day I'll have nothing to watch snooker for! He's the only player that makes it exiting. While the other 90% are nothing but boring. Still even the ones worth watching like Higgins, Trump, Selby, Robertson don't entertain like Ronnie does. His smile makes me smile.
Agree！
+richard cunningham Ronnie is in a league of his own, and always has been. In some cases he is playing much better now than he did when he was younger. Since working with Steve peters and Ray reardon he has learned discipline, he doesn't let anything upset him these days and just takes the game as a game and not so serious, even his safety play has improved and is better than most players in the current ranking. If only there were more box office players like Ronnie the game would be booming with geniuses. As for the wage, all the pros get paid differently depending on what they win, like high break prize, maxi prize, exhibitions etc
+TomCoppell, did you watch last year's Crucible final with Bingham and Trump?
+safar ektal I saw the highlights, not the full match. Binghams game has definitely improved since his unbelievable performance in the premier league a few years back. He's a great player.
+TomCoppell, on the other end of the scale is Peter Ebdon. It is not that I don't like the guy, he is just too slow for me to watch. I loved it when Ronnie was mocking him for playing too slow.
The clue of how good is he is reflected after the poke, re watch and look at where the white ball stop. The white ball is ready for the next poke - he target and prepared it for black of course. The placing is so good that the opportunity never stop. At 6:03 he made his point, he intentionally skew the white ball not to follow and ready for black but slice to the right and got pink, thus -1 from reaching maximum point, as saying "your prize money ? Nahh too small". I still remember watching this with jaw dropped.
Poke?...it's called a Shot.

It's as taxing on the mind to learn how to play chess at a competitive level than it is on the body to learn any physical sport.
Snooker sits comfortably in the middle where you need an intuitive knowledge of momentum and bounce angles, and the hand-eye coordination to apply the exact amount of force to the ball in the right angle so it spins (or not) as far as you need it to.

whether or not you understand the rules of this game, you gotta appreciate the talent in the dude sinking in any ball he aimed at! especially if you have tried pool at your local pub
Playing pool does not really tell you how hard Snooker is in comparison (My high break is 44) snooker is crazy difficult the table is huge and if you are not on form, you are making nothing.. Pool is piss easy by comparison which is no surprise as a snooker table is 4x the size
There are a lot of silly comments here, obviously made by those who don't understand the game. This not pool - this is a far more difficult game, on a larger table. A maximum of 147 points is rare, there have only been 139 maximum breaks made in professional tournament play since Steve Davis managed the first in 1982. Many professional players have never achieved even one! O'Sullivan is credited with being the most 'natural' player the game has ever had. Apart from anything else, he can play equally well either handed - a huge advantage on a table which is 12 x 6 feet.
He deliberately blew the score (to a 146) in protest at the ridiculously low prize being offered for achieving a maximum. I can remember when £147,000 was on offer.

Going for a 147 can often mean taking risks that could lose you the match if it goes wrong; so knowing what the prize is can inform the players shot selection. Just asking if there is a prize and how much it is isn't arrogance, it's common sense.
He gets a lot of stick for stuff like this but he's right in the reasoning for it.
As for why he seems to protest about the prize so much; there are a lot of players now who can win tournaments so taking that risk for a £4,000 or even a £10,000 prize and potentially losing the match due to trying to force harder shots, and missing out on the chance at a £100k-£250k prize for getting to the final just isn't worth it and that's not great for the viewers at home.
He just wants the prize to reflect the difficulty and the risk; which in turn will make more players go for it and that creates better entertainment for us.
erm, no, not at all. hed already won the frame by a mile. he was on a century. this is just ronnie trolling as only ronnie can afford to with predictable results; fanboys defending him and critics accusing him of dragging the sport down.

They said the same about Alex Higgins. Then Stephen Hendry came along.
a player can never be bigger than the game itself. Because theres always someone better comes the next generation.
the problem is the next generation are all Chinese, right now Chinese snooker has 100x the money British snooker has, but what they dont have is O'Sullivan. Once he retires for good, its almost certain the World Championship will sack off the Crucible and go to China,.

The time it took ebdon to take one shot, i had a shit shave shower cooked my dinner ate the dinner and then done a 147 at my local came back and hes still chalking the cue
mr evil why are u taking it seriously?
LA Moves 147 likes, im not gonna spoil that!
So funny
Seeing ronnie happy and fooling around and enjoying himself is what the game is all about
Saying that..... cheeky
He made it a single player game
Yen the smiling dinosaur "Player number 2 has left the game..."
more attractive than 147. The way Ronnie is smiling shows the arrogance of his enormous talent.
not for the money, but for the magic!
'You have to love him. And any thing to make us unhappy Ronnie will do it' all said with love and good feeling. Love it!
Only Ronnie!! Pure genuine and commentary was excellent!!!
Anyone who criticizes Ronnie for this 146 is spiritually and emotionally dead
These soulless joyless people want snooker taken over by robots who make a 147 with every visit to the table
what Federer is to Tennis, Ronnie is to snooker. poetry in motion
Anant Puri u mean what michael jordan was to basketball!!!!
Brian Williams no he doesn’t
Anant Puri wat u make of federer now. Amazing wat he achieved this year.
Ps I noticed your comment was written over a year ago 👍👍👍 ✌️&❤️ fae 🏴🏴🏴
Anant Puri snooker has more class than freakin tennis!!
ToothyGus lol no.
I have no idea what’s happening but I can tell he’s good
Basically if he kept scoring a red-black pattern until all the reds were gone, he would have had the colored balls left, and if he made those, he would have scored a 147 the "max" score. He found out the prize was only 10k-12k so at 6:03 he instead hit the pink ball, which I'd worth one point less than the black this meant that he intentionally got a 146 as a middle finger to the prize money
I don't understand the rules, but I think I kindof picked up that it's red ball, other color ball, red ball, other color balls etc. and then spot the other color balls until there are no red balls left and then get all the other color balls at the end. I'm sure that's not exactly right but this guy is really really good. He seems to naturally think in advance almost effortlessly.
you are right, thats how it is played, colored balls have different values, the black is the most valuable (7 points), than the pink (6 points), blue (5 points) etc. so to reach the maximum you should play like red, black, red, black, red, black every time, but he deliberatley used the pink once insted of balck not to reach the maximum but max-1
Thanks! It looks a lot harder than pool, or at least most pool games.
It's a lot harder than all games of pool. No comparison whatsoever I'm afraid.
snooker comes very close to russian pool tho, russian pool is very difficult too
How does it work? You miss a ball and you gotta pull the trigger? :P
real life aim bot, I mean thats clearly some kind of life hacking.
It's called geometry
Life Hack: practice makes perfect
Nah...rather than aim bot its his white ball placement that is awesome....almost all of his shot is a simple n sure shot...and he make it that way
**royalty free music plays**
He is also almost as good playing left handed so yes, hacking indeed :)
some say Peter Ebdon is still been on a break of 5 since 2002
JUVENTUS1111100
And gets the cue ball cleaned for the 100000th time.
😂😂😂
Im always amazed by watching these guys. Às anyone who has ever played pool knows its one thing to make difficult shots which a lot of people can do. Its a completely different thing though to be able to control the que ball like these guys do. Just amazing how accurate they are with their cue ball leaves
spartanmikek Especially on a huge snooker table
