Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Doing Business as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
When a billiard player is found to be doing business, he or she is found to be in collusion with each other for the purpose of financial gain. One player agrees to lose intentionally, and thus, all those in collusion know who to bet on so that they are guaranteed a win. The losing player generally takes a percentage of all proceeds gained by those involved in the collusion in exchange for his or her throwing of the match.
The outcome of that match seems very strange based on the odds and on the two player's prior performance. It is possible that the two players are doing business here at this tournament, which would explain the strange outcome.
The term "doing business" is considered to be a slang term related to gambling and betting.
