Do any of you know whether gambling was a common practice with billiard games played in private homes/clubs in Regency Era?

I'm intrigued since this is where John Thornton and General Tilney met up, i.e., billiards.

I Googled what I could, but I know that this group has members with specialized knowledge of the Regency Era, and I'm interested in finding out what you all know.

Thank you

Some would bet on everything including which raindrop would get to the
bottom of the window first. Two people could bet on a game even if others
wouldn't. It really depended on the people.
