    This will come naturally from playing the snooker DLC, however if you want to achieve this quick and fast you can follow this method.

    Play against player 2 on the same pad.

    Break normally on your shot, then have player 2 foul, select the option Force Retake using the Y button. The balls will be reset and all you need to do is repeat this twice more and the match will be awarded to you. On player 2's break just foul and then select the same option using the Y button. You will be awarded the win after the 3rd foul.

    So you win two matches every 7 shots.

    It's also not a bad way to gain XP, getting 180-300xp per match.

    DalimbakI think this may have been patched. I've played more than seventy matches with second player and am on the final match in career. (F/pain) 25plus matches and still no achievement.
    Plus; while playing career, I have lost more than I have won, yet my accolades state I have only played (not won) eleven games of snooker.

    Forza GrifoOkay, if anyone else can verify I will remove this solution.

    Pablo315Forza Grifo, this works fine. I did about 20 matches this way and it popped today. The accolades aren't updating for winning . Mine is still on "Win 10 matches" which I thought was wrong anyway as I'd won much more before trying this. Positive vote from me & thanks for the solution.

    KinectKid333I believe the title of this achievement is referencing Steve Davis, the most dominant snooker player in the 1980s, six-time world snooker champion, and the first snooker player to achieve a 147 break in professional competition. Although, I'm not sure what the significance of 73 games is referring to.

    KinectKid333I sent an email to Ripstone Studios and they told me that it was a reference to the number of professional tournaments Steve Davis has won (73), and cited this article as their source: https://www.performingartistes.co.uk/artistes/steve-davis.

    However, the above article doesn't have any source or listing of its own of where it got that number. And I couldn't find this 73 number anywhere else on the internet. Wikipedia lists Steve Davis as having won 84 finals, only one of which happened after the release of the Pure Pool Snooker DLC in October 2015 -- that one being his win in the 2018 Seniors Irish Masters. Although based on the website which the article appears, there's a small possibility that the above article is autobiographical (that is -- Steve Davis is the author, himself), in which case the discrepancy from that article and Wikipedia is possibly due to a recordkeeping error.
