depends on the player, some get round on luck while others get round on skill.

for me most of it is skill but as players know who have played me i have some good and bad luck as well

well in my opinion its 80% 20% luck on average.

but sometimes its all about the luck, luck is more powerful than skill.

on the original table, i think its sheer brilliance and ridiculous skill, these 147 breaks are too good, its unbelievable skill, get funky in the olympics thats what i say.

There is some luck but all the players over 800 are mostly skill IMO

Skill is the ability to bring about a pre-determined result with maximum efficiency and certainty.

Now making a high break in snooker is all about the above so I'd say it's mostly skill with a dash of luck

I would say around 90-10. Think about it this way, of the shots you play, how many out of 100 would normally come out with a good result that you didn't mean?

in a game i'd say the majority of my play is 80% skill, 10% luck and 10% bad luck. bad luck would be if i was on for a 107 and missed.. good luck would be if my opponent was on for a 107 and missed giving me the opportunity to clear up and win... (just an example )

to be fair i have friends who play and ill be watching them taking a shot, im thinking its not going in no way and they think its fine, surprisingly to them it misses,

so we must be skilled, if it was all luck then people wouldnt get past 60% win ratio

any sport can be mastered yet luck is also needed, take poker as example, the skill is reading the players, knowing the percentages and playing the high cards, but if luck isnt on your side the one card you dont wawnt hits the river,

with funky you make a break of say 100, but without the luck of landing on position from the 1 shot to nothing the break would of ended,

frustrating wen your opponent dosnt let it lie and continuously calls you lucky, argh!!!!

anyways im now thinking 95% skill with 5% luck
