The Greatest Pool Players
Pool is one of the classiest sports known to man. It requires a great deal of focus, accuracy, instinct, and trust in your skills to compete in this sport at a high level. It may not be as physically demanding as some other sports, but it has some areas that require special talents.
This sport is a favourite for people that love to wager their money on various gambling sites. They are always looking for excitement and the online casinos are more than willing to provide them with everything that they need. Some of these sites even offer fans the experience of playing pool for free and test their skills online. As far as the fans that like the gambling side of it, these sites also offer the chance to wager on your skills.
Online casinos also have tons of other games for the people that like to gamble, so if you are a fan of the excitement and thrill, be sure to check them out. They are completely safe and secure and they are known for fast payouts and enforcing fair-play.
Throughout the years of pool’s existence, we’ve witnessed many terrific players that were setting the bar too high and created standards with the records that they’ve broken. Some of these records remain unbroken to this day. The list of the greatest pool players can go forever and it is based on individual opinions, so we wanted to share our top 3 pool players of all time. Let’s check them out.
Ralph Greenleaf
Ralph Greenleaf is one of the most respected pool players in history. He was known as a very elegant and charismatic player who dominated the world of pool in the early 1900s. Ralph was also among the first 3 members who were inducted into the Billiard Congress of America's Hall of Fame in 1966. During his career, Ralph Greenleaf managed to win twenty World Pocket Billiard Championships – his first was in 1919 against Willie Mosconi and his last was in 1937 against Irving Crane.
Willie Mosconi
Next up, we have the person who lost to Ralph in 1919 and enabled him to win his first World Pocket Billiard Championship. Willie Mosconi was a true legend in this sport. He managed to win the World Pocket Billiard Championship 15 times between the years of 1941 and 1957. In short, Willie dominated every opponent in the mid-1900s. Mosconi also authored an autobiography that was published in 1993 (Willie’s Game). He died of a heart attack in his home at the age of 80.
Efren Reyes
Nicknamed “The Magician”, Efren Reyes is the greatest pool player to ever grace us with his skills. He is born in 1954 in the Philippines. Among many other achievements in his life, Reyes is also the first player to win world championships in two different pool disciplines. In 1997, Reyes won the largest single-purse reward of $100,000 after he defeated Earl Strickland. Many experts, analysts, and fans put Efren Reyes at the very top on the list of the greatest pool players in history. Efren Reyes was the first Asian inductee in the Billiard Congress of America’s Hall of Fame.
