    Any of you guys up for some Poker lately? No one seems to be around anymore.

      UK Championship kicking off next week, and it's a huge tournament with 128 players entering round 1 including all the top names. Mark Selby being drawn against a 15 year old amateur in the 1st round being one of the ties, so surely there's going to be some shocks on the cards.

      Had a really quick look down the list of games, and without looking too hard at them or doing any homework, just noticed these couple of games that i like the look of and think they seen a bit short.

      Where's Connie et all with some big priced outsiders?

      Aditya Mehta 5/6 to beat Robbie Williams
      Dechawat Poomjaeng 11/10 to beat Thepchaiya Un Nooh
      Matthew Selt 10/11 to beat Scott Donaldson
      Nigel Bond 4/5 to beat Craig Steadman

      Here's the draw



      Selby might have some tricky ties in his 1/8 of the draw. Is he gets through i don't see him facing anyone other than Murphy in the the quarter.

      I fancied Mark Allen for a decent run in this but would face Trump before he meets Ding in the quarters so not sure he can pull it off.

      Robertson will sail though his 1/8 and meet Maguire/Higgins in his quarter and think he'll win comfortably.

      If Ronnie slips up, i think anyone can come out the bottom quarter, but he won't so no point even thinking about it.

      Robertson and Ronnie to piss though their quarters imo and a hefty double imo.

      Also noticed Davey Morris is favourite to beat Jamie Cope? Is the high praise worth it? Looking forward to seeing him and hope he puts on a good showing.

        Morris is playing lovely recently, he most be fully sponsored or something and not playing with the fear. He beat Matthew Stevens 4-0 recently and a run to the Qtr finals in the wuxi beating 4 to get there incl Ali Carter.
        I would avoid Selt like a barge.

          Morris got it done 6-4 with a needed 60+ clearance in the final frame otherwise it would have been 5-5.
          fwiw i think Adam Duffy is good value to beat Barry Pinches tonite at 7.30pm.

            I let my heart rule my head and Ken let me down for 7 results today . Would have been a nice one to bink because i had Morris in there, and a 21/10 winner too. Ah well

            I really fancy Scott Donaldson to beat Matt Selt tomorrow morning after i looked into it (ignoring my first opinion of it!). That and Advani to beat Pengfei for me in the early games. I think i like Mike Dunn to beat Luca Brecel @ 11/10 aswel but will see how i fair in the morning games first.

              Uggh 7 timer thats pretty sick!, unlucky. Done Donaldson myself Selts game is definately in a rut these days but he actually played well today but only because we backed Donaldson. Snooker rarely gives it to you easily!.
              Duffy won a sick one taking the final 3 frames so ill try to keep the one shot tipping going till im beat and fancy King to beat Fergal tomorrow.

                  Are you over there with Fergal Tom? How's his form? He seems to be having a semi decent season without any real deep runs. Mark King doesn't like playing players like Fergal so if he can grind him down, backing him with the cushion of +1.5 @ 8/11 seems like it could be a decent bet. King won 6-1 against Muir but he never managed a 50 break in that game, and if frames are scrappy, i think Fergal could have the edge.

                    Yeah Tony he's playing really well having a decent season helped by playing continually. Like you said a good element of consistency without any spectacular runs.

                    I'd back him against King all day long.

                      The Ferganitor is my favourite player i dont like going against him especially with his decent recent form. I was just going to do King now before checking this thread but im actually going to leave it now and funk for him as the omens are bad now!.

                        Stuck Fergal in my accum for today. If Morris closes out which is looking good and Hawkins can get back ahead, i might lay off enough to freeroll the bet. Evs wasn't a great price with Boyles though because he was odds against in most other places.

                          Actaully laying that would be for pussies. I'll wait til Fergal goes 2 frames up and then lay it for a much smaller amount

                            Davey Morris really getting it together lately, good to see the talent being backed up with some hard work & a little maturity.

                            Have had many chats with Davey going back a few years, he's a good lad & delighted to see him doing well.

                                  Lovely jubbly. I was out and about doing Christmas shopping today and couldn't even to lay some off. I saw Fergal 1-0 up and then 5-3 and didn't know anything in between. All good so far and wp Fergal. Would be great if he can topple Ding in the next round

                                    Bet your glad you didn't lay now Tony

                                    Ding is an altogether other kettle of fish than 'Basher'... Tough match but can be done

                                      People won't know but Morris was on the same level as Judd Trump and Mark Allen coming up together as juniors but they kicked on, Love to see him climb the rankings

                                        Stevens making me sweat for the 1st leg of bets today. Finally got over the line though. Would hate to lose a sweat so early on!

                                          Slight aftertiming brag: Donaldson scraping a 6-5 win means 3 out of 3 accums shipped on yesterdays and this morning matches for a ROI of 789%. If only every 24 hour period could be like that!

                                          Wakelin is my wild card in the 1pm accum

                                                I got a decent bet on Stuart Bingham to beat McGill tomorrow @ 12/5 with Coral which was priced up arseways. It's now 1/3. Will i get paid out if he wins? McGill will be 4/1 if he loses the first frame tomorrow so don't want to back him incase my bet gets cancelled

                                                  No chance of getting paid on that. It will be voided.

                                                    Does it need to be voided before the match starts in 20 minutes, or can they freeroll me? It's still showing as open.

                                                    Taking a shot at Wenbo, Carter and Donaldson accum today

                                                      Palpable error, they won't void it till it has to be paid out which is when they wil realise there mistake

                                                      Palpable Error

                                                      A bookmaker can cancel (void) your bet, claiming it was a palpable error (commonly known as a “palp“). This can occur when a bookmaker has made “an obvious mistake”, such as reversed the odds of a match or some other kind of accidental error made while quoting the odds.

                                                        Scott Donaldson @ 9/4

                                                        very speculative in the morning games but I reckon they may all be very close.

                                                          And they all go 1-0 up. Surely nothing can go wrong from here

                                                            I hope Travis wins this 2nd frame aswell, then shall be steaming into Maflin. Also backing Perry aswell now

                                                            More on Perry 6/4

I'm now arguing with him over the missing 10 cents that they took because he's saying i withdrew it. I wasn't interested until he said that, now it's pissed me off! Just going to close the laptop for a while i think. Nice work on the Perry bet. That kills my match accum, but still have a high break accum of Robertson, Maflin, Selby, Trump and Maguire to keep me entertained throughout the day!

                                                                                            Can happen if the error isn't noticed straight away but even if the withdrawal is processed they can still put your account into negative balance if it's noticed afterwards.

                                                                                            Obv no harm asking but to be tilted on not being paid when shooting the angle on a clear palp is lol.

                                                                                                  Morris and Hatch are cabbages who aren't in the top 10 on the yank rankings, Strickland is only there for entertainment, the only Yank deserving of a place is SVB. Might as well bring back Charlie fucking Williams or Shannon Daulton.

Might as well bring back Charlie fucking Williams or Shannon Daulton.

Even on the Europeans, that Greek guy and Melling are top 10 and don't get in. Speaking of past yanks, i see Corey Duel is over playing the World Amateur Snooker Championships. Looks like he didn't make it out of the group though. Michael Judge playing also



                                                                                                    I've a decent bet on Appleton to outscore Archer and if he beats Morris, he'll be 3 up on Archer already. Have a couple of bets on Europe too

                                                                                                      Also Corey Duel won the US snooker championships a while back but I think the high break in the whole thing was 60 odd. Standard is brutal but he win earned him a spot in the World amateurs. He was like a comedy entrant though, a yank snooker player would be looked on similarly to a leprechaun or some such figure of amusement
