Dooly’s ProShop Journal is an independent publication about cue sports, game-room equipment and the betting line around them. Equipment descriptions, prices and service rates on this site are reproduced from the shop’s own archived catalogue and information pages — Dooly’s ProShop, 1651 Barrington Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia. They are the figures the catalogue carried when it was archived, not today’s, and the Journal does not sell, ship or service anything.
The history of the game is condensed from “A Brief History of the Noble Game of Billiards” by Mike Shamos, Curator of The Billiard Archive, reproduced with permission of the Billiard Congress of America. Photographs are credited under each frame. How this paper is put together.
Betting and casino coverage is for readers of legal age in their own jurisdiction. Gambling involves risk; in Canada, provincial help lines are listed by each provincial regulator.
