Can someone explain the scoring system to me for High Stakes Pool? 

At first I thought you got 10 points for every ball, and extra points for the bonus ball and bonus pocket.  But it seems like it doesn't always work out that way.  Do you lose points when you scratch?  Do you get more points for certain shots in 9-ball?

I've come to the conclusion that the computer just does not know how to add. 

I see that subsequent sinks in a turn result in more points.  10 points for the first ball, 20 for the second, 30 for the third, 50 for the fourth....  (I haven't got more than 4 balls in one round yet).    It shows a little "+10" go up to your score, but it doesn't always add correctly. 

I just started a game of 8 ball and in the first round I sank four of my balls.  The first one went into the bonus pocket.  10 points for ball one plus 10 bonus points, and it shows 20 points as my score.  Next ball I get 20 points and it shows my score as 30 (should be 40).  Next ball I get 30 points and it shows my score as 60.  Next ball I sink is worth 50 points plus 10 bonus points because it's a bonus ball.  It shows "+60" going up to my score, but then it displays my total score as 180 points.  Where did it come up with 180 points??  (It should be 130).  The next round i don't sink any balls and my score still shows 180.  The next round my score comes up as 120.  I sink one ball into a bonus pocket for 20 points, my score is now 140. In the next round I sink one more ball for 10 points and now it shows my score as 160, and then I scratch.  I start the last round and it shows my score at 150 points, I sink a ball into the bonus pocket for 20 points and my score says 190.  I then sink the 8 ball for 10 points and it says my final score is 180.  Either I'm missing something, or the computer has a problem with simple math.  And if you read all of that without getting confused, you get a gold star.

This was an Easy Badge to get!

With the Scoring, I got mine in 1 1/2 hour, playing a ROBOT!...And I must say, that they must have turned the Dumb Mode on the Robot, because, he kep[ sinking the Eight Ball Illegally! If I was doing a Win 200 games, I would've goten my Badge in no time!

dont feel bad homelessdog.  it happened to me too.  it took me 2x as long as it should have to get my badge coz of it.  i had a 200 score after completing my 2nd turn, then at start of 3rd turn it showed i had 150.  go figure.  i thought it was just me for a minute.

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble with pool?  Every time I take the first shot my network connection is shut down and the only fix is to re-boot.  I will have to try later at home to see if it might be my laptop acting odd but I can't find any reason for it to not work.

This was an easy badge to get, I had it in about an hour.  Of course, I would sink the 8 ball illegally if I wanted to end the match and take my points.  Some of the scoring was off, so I tried to hit the bonus pockets and the glowing ball and then end the game.  And yes, the bot player was none too bright.  I was disappointed with this weeks challenges because I had them all done in 2 1/2 hours and I played them myself.
