What a shot Selby, fair fucks.

Fantastic and great to see him having a laugh from the colours. Such a pressure black and such a great shot. I enjoyed it more than most tbh..

SPOILER

[Flushdraw]

ffs Mark

[TheJiggaman]

Crippling miss alright. Still could potentially see him taken the current frame and the last 2!

[Wesley Harms]

Didn't have Selby down as a buckler. Hmm

[TM2204]

Love watching Ronnie when he's in this mood. Unstoppable..

[rounders123]

Fergal is Ferganating.

[connie147]

Was a bit quiet tonight so spent some time studying the Welsh open which is coming up next week. Ronnie is put up as the obvious favourite, and why wouldnt he be, in all fairness, but he has a hell of a draw to get through in the bottom half.

If the draw was to work out as expected, the bottom half would look like this in the last 16:

Neil Robertson v marco Fu
Sean Murphy v Barry Hawkins
Judd Trump v John Higgens
Ronnie v Rickie Walden.

So Ronnie would have to beat walden in the last 16, Trump or Higgens in the quarters and Robertson or Murphy in the semis. Some of them matches are still best of 9, and that is not Ronnies strong point. Get him into the long matches and he's almost unstopabble atm. So I think the value is to be found in the top half of the draw.

Again, presuming the seeded players advance, the top half last 16 should look something like this

steven Maguire v Mark davis
Rob Milkens v Ding Jungui
Stuart Bingham v matthew Stevens
mark Allen v Mark Selby

I think Bingham and Ding are certainties to be in the quarter finals, but Maguire will have a tough one in Mark davis in a best of 9, and Selby is no certainty over allen. I think Ding at 8/1 is a stand out bet getting 1/2 odds ew 1-2.

Bingham has been getting closer to his best form as the season has gone on, and I'll also be having an interest there at 28/1. Its a possibility that both Bingham and Ding could meet in the semi final, and that would be sweet!!!

Also, with Binghams draw, a small interest at 25/1 for the high break prize. Not an easy market to hit a winner, but his favourable draw should afford him ample oppertunities. Whether he's able to take them is the problem

Well, its worked out well so far. Now to sit back for the evening and enjoy the final. Although the way Ronnies playing, Ding will have to plaw flawless snooker to bring up the win part of the bet.

[connie147]

Looks like them heavy defeats Ronnie gave Ding in his early years on tour have left mental scars on Ding. He had plenty chances today in the 1st session of the final, and having won 4 finals already this season, you would imagine he would be well able to take them. But snooker is a funny game, and i guess just the fact that he was playing Ronnie was enough to put enough doubt in Dings mind.
Ronnie looks to be in a great place mentally, and thats a scary thought for his opponnents. and i guess the 2/1 available for him to win the World C/ships this year wont last long.

[connie147]

china open starts this morning (they are 8 hours ahead so some matches are already on).

I was having a good look through this morning matches and i think there is at least 1 stick out match there. mark King (seeded 24) is playing Indian player Aditya Mehta (seeded 61).

Mark King is having a far better season than Mathe is, and I looked back through the last years results and the only matches Mehta won were against players with a worse seeding than him. he doesnt seem to be able to cope when he meets the better players, and like him or hate him, King is one of the better players on tour when you take out the top 10. And King has been around the pro scene a good few years and has managed to keep his ranking consistantly in the top 32.

King is best priced 4/6 (Boylesports) and I think thats HUGE. It starts at 6am (ie 2 hours time) so not a lot of notice, but I thought Id post it anyway.

He needed a final frame decider to get over the line, but got over the line anyway! Was 3-3 when i read this so wasn't on it. Struggling to find anything i like in the upcoming matches. Michael White @ 8/13 against Zhao Xintong seems a good one, but want to stick him in a double.

Who's this Jamie O'Neill guy Fergal is playing (he got a walkover against Hawkins i think) Without knowning anything about him, Fergal has to fancy his chances @ 8/15. Any thoughts on Steadman @ 2/1 to beat Holt? He seem to have a poor enough 2013, but has got better in 2014 but i don't know much about him or about how Holt is playing tbh.

[Wesley Harms]

Do not back Michael white against that kid. Might be the worst price I've ever seen. Ever.

Kid is the real deal, runner up in last years World amateurs, could be the next Ding

[connie147]

just spent a few days in the company of Steve davis and Stephen Hendry (not that it matters, but had a great time!!)

Obviously spoke a lot about the upcoming World c/ships. Hendry says if he was a betting man, he would have his house on Ronnie, whi;e davis reckoned the only player that can beat Ronnie is Ronnie. neither of them can see anyone troubling him, and hendry even went on to say that he was amazed at the fact that virtually all the players are beaten before they play him. he did say that Trump would be one player who would be up for playing Ronnie and not afraid of him, but he qualified that by saying Trump had zero chance of beating him.
The only player in the field that has the capabilities of stopping Ronnie is John Higgins, but he has too many scars over the last couple of years to do it.

Even though I was of the opinion myself before I met up with the lads, their opinions has just cemented it. You'll only get best price 11/8 on the Rocket, but it seems like a done deal to me.
i wouldnt normally be a "big" stake bettor, but I will be having my biggest ever snooker bet on Ronnie to be champion again.

[Flushdraw]

Qualifying kicks off tomorrow so here's my bets. I think some of the guys to qualify are overpriced, so 1/2 winners would cover the losers and there's also an option to lay if they get through the early rounds. Will give me plenty of interest anyway!

Match Accum
Steadman 2/7 (v Jones) Wilson 2/5 (v Norbury) Wells 7/10 (v Clark) Leslie 2/7 (v Keogan) @~5/2 with PP

Yankee
Swail 8/11 (v Alex Davies) Slessor Evs (v Li Yan) Miah 9/4 (v Pinches) Figueiredo 12/5 (v Duffy) with Coral

To Qualify
Kurt Maflin @ 7/2 PP (Plays winner of Wells/Clark and then Higginson and then Dominic Dale)
Jack Lisowski @ 4/1 PP (Plays Carrington then Bond then Day)
Yu Delu 5/1 Boyles (Plays winner of Brecel/Page then Ford/Wilson and then Stevens)
Aditya Mehta to 9/2 Boyles (Plays winner of Leslie/Keogan then Jones then Holt)
Michael Wasley @ 16/1 Boyles (Plays Wilson then McLeod then Joyce then Milkins)
Li Hang @ 14/1 with Boyles (Plays Yotharuck then Advani then Chuang/Hoation then Fergal)
Matt Selt @ 11/2 with Boyles (plays Dunn then Morris/Un-Nooh then Michael White)

Banker
Wenbo @ 4/7 with PP (Plays one of Greene/Gould/Sean O Sullivan/Duffy/Figueirdo)

Match Accum
Steadman 2/7 (v Jones) Wilson 2/5 (v Norbury) Wells 7/10 (v Clark) Leslie 2/7 (v Keogan) @~5/2 with PP

This isn't going quite as planned

Steadman is 9-7 up, Wilson won, Wells is 9-9, Leslie is 6-8 down

[Flushdraw]

Match Accum
Steadman 2/7 (v Jones) Wilson 2/5 (v Norbury) Wells 7/10 (v Clark) Leslie 2/7 (v Keogan) @~5/2 with PP

Leslie lost and the rest won to scupper this. Playing catch up already!

Yankee
Swail 8/11 (v Alex Davies) Slessor Evs (v Li Yan) Miah 9/4 (v Pinches) Figueiredo 12/5 (v Duffy) with Coral

Miah was beaten so no big score here either, but Swail is 7-2 up, Slessor is 5-4 up and Figueiredo is 7-2 up so hopefully be back on track after these finish.

To Qualify
Michael Wasley @ 16/1 Boyles (Plays Wilson then McLeod then Joyce then Milkins)
Li Hang @ 14/1 with Boyles (Plays Yotharuck then Advani then Chuang/Hoation then Fergal)

Wasley 7-6 up and Hang 8-4 up their first round games, so hopefully they get over the line too!

[connie147]

Nice treble at 10am in the morning of Peter Lines, Kurt maflin and Alan Mc Manus pays about 7/4 the treble.

lines opponent, Cao Xinlong hasnt won a match since December until he won his 1st round here yesterday when he beat jamie o neill 10-9 and in 19 frames, he had only 3 breaks over 60, He has hardly had any results all season and I think lines is well priced to win.

Mcmanus looks a cert to me against davison. Davison is having a poor season, and like Cao, he won 10-09yesterday in the 1st round and again, only 3 breaks over 60 in 19 frames. McManus comes here in good form after a deep run in the last ranking event in China 2 weeks ago into the quarter finals, and also defeated Davison 4-1 in the Asian PTC the week before.

McManus came through 3 rounds last year to qualify for the crucible, and I expect him to have too much craft, guile and experience for Davison.

Finally, Kurt Maflin. He has jumped from 67th to 35th in the rankings in just one season and is one of the most improved players on tour, while his oponnent daniel wells, has stayed at 87 after a dissappointing season for him.

Wells beat the lower ranked Ryan Clark yesterday on a 10-9 scoreline. wells had 6 breaks over 60, but his opponent had only 1 +60 break, and wells still struggled all day. You have to go back to last November to find Wells last victory as a pro, and I think maflin will win this one with plenty to spare.

[Flushdraw]

I'm on combo's of Maflin, Lines, Lawler, Burden and Robertson

Maflin on the colours for a 147 if anyone is watching

Edit - Pressure got to him and he missed the pink, shame.

Wins today for Maflin, McManus, Burden and Robertson. Lines is STILL at it in his game at 2am. 9-9 and and in the balls with 59 left and 22 behind. Hopefully he gets over the line this time!

[Flushdraw]

Michael Wasley @ 16/1 Boyles (Plays Wilson then McLeod then Joyce then Milkins)
Matt Selt @ 11/2 with Boyles (plays Dunn then Morris/Un-Nooh then Michael White)

Banker
Wenbo @ 4/7 with PP (Plays one of Greene/Gould/Sean O Sullivan/Duffy/Figueirdo)

Poor showing by Lisowski in particular, but still some hope left in the above.

Wasley won his first 3 matches and is now just 9/4 to beat Milkins and qualify. This would go down very well!

Selt won his first 2 and is 11/8 to beat White and qualify. Just going to let these 2 ride unless they got 2-3 frames up early on and might lay a little.

Wenbo was my biggest bet, but i'm a little worried because he's a better price at 4/5 now because Gould has played out of his skin so far winning both matches 10-1 scoring 7 breaks over 66 incl 3 tons in his first match, and then opened with a 134 and 94 and then took the foot off the gas against an opponent would couldn't pot a ball and only scored over 41 in 1 frame.

Got a nice Wasley, Williams, Hull and Carrington Lucky 15 up on Sunday and Jones, Cope, Poomjaeng and Ford for today so could be pretty much freerolling the Championships if things go well today and tomorrow.

[Flushdraw]

Qualifiers almost done and dusted. Fergal last one out and having a real struggle at the moment after being 7-2 up, went 8-7 down and is now 9-8 down.

Wenbo let me down, but i didn't like it so i didn't lose too much on it. Selt was looking good at 11/2 but let an 6-3 lead go and lost 10-7.

Hero of the day though is Michael Wasley who got through at 16/1. Back and forth match and after being 9-8 up, was back in the balls on a break but missed a blank off it's spot, and Milkins made it 9-9. Next frame, they both had chances and ran out of position with Milkins playing a bit like an idiot it has to be said. He almost had the match won but missed the last black to leave Wasley leaving snookers. Got back in and played a ridiculous shot pushing the colours all over the table instead of tying something up. Wasley made an excellent 25 clearance to take it to a re-spotted black at 9-9 for a place in the crucible. Wasley played it, Milkins left a half chance and Wasley hit a cracker to win 10-9.

No Jimmy White or Steve Davis who lost in the 2nd Q round, and Mark Williams, Peter Ebdon, Graeme Dott and Matthew Stevens didn't make it either.

Still 1 place left in the Sweepstakes too for anyone that wants it?

[connie147]

Sick for Fergal O Brien, lost 10-9 on a re-spotted black after making a 57 clearance to force it, sigh.

yeah, must be gut-wrenching for Fergal after having a 7-2 lead. These players, specially the experienced ones, spend the whole season looking forward to the Crucible,and obviously do their best to peak form-wise in April, so id say Fergal is hugely disappointed.

Well done to Ken Doherty though who showed some of his best form in a long time when he beat Poomjaeng 10-5 in his qualifier. from 4-2 down, Ken put on a bit of an exhibition as he wo 7 frames in a row with a size-able break in each frame. he got Bingham in his 1st match at the Crucible, not easy by any means, but it could have been much worse. Good luck to him anyway.

Ive been having a look at the draw, and obviously, because I think (as many do) that Ronnie is unbeatable, if one is having a value ew punt on someone, then you just have to pick a player in the opposite half of the draw to Ronnie, as in snooker betting, its half the odds 1-2.
So the bottom half of the draw looks like this:

Mark Selby v Michael White

Ali Carter v Xiao Guodong

John Higgins v Alan McManus

Stuart Bingham v Ken Doherty



Judd Trump v Tom Ford

Stephen Maguire v Ryan Day

Mark Allen v Michael Holt

Neil Robertson v Robbie William


I think the value bet here is Ali Carter, generally available at 50/1. In the last 7 years, he has contested 2 finals, a semi final and a quarter final at the Crucible, obviously a venue he loves playing at. He does have a tough opener against the young chinese player, Guodong, but imho, he'll have enough experience to get over that hurdle and then he will come across Mark Selby. Now I dont believe Selby is happy with his performances this season, and if youre not in good form coming into the Crucible, you sure aint gonna find it there.
I'll be backing against selby in most matches (might be the rock I'll perish on). When I was looking for value in the bottom half, I was between Higgins and Carter, only because they are in Selbys quarter. This is why Im against Selby:

2014 results:
Last tourney: Lost 5-3 in QF to Mike Dunne (March 2014)
2nd last tourney: Lost in last 32 to david Gilbert 4-0. (March 2014)
3rd last tourney: Beaten in Final 10-6 by Sean Murphy.
4th last tourney: Beaten QF of Welsh Open 5-1 by Joe Perry.
5th last tourney: beaten last 64 by Anthony Hamilton 4-3 in European Tour 8
6th last tourney: beaten last 32 of the German Masters by Kurt Maflin 5-3.

In that run of tournaments, Selby has lost to players that wouldnt have got near him in previous seasons. His last 2, losing in Ranking events to Mike Dunne and David Gilbert in the 2 events leading up to the WC's where players are striving for form and confidence, just tells me that all is not right in the Selby camp. And thats why Im taking a position against him.
Carter has not been shooting the lights out this season either in fairness, but he had his best result of the season in his last event in the ranking event in China a couple of weeks ago when he lost in the semi final to Robertson. But Id rather have a punt on him at 50's than Selby at 12's. If he beats Selby in the last 16, he takes over the number 3 seed position.

I did struggle over Carter or Higgins as my ew bet. Higgins has had a poor season as well, but he comes alive at the Crucible, and always hard to back against. Of all the players, he has the best heads up record against Ronnie, but you have to put your trust that he magically finds his form now, and as I said earlier, thats not easily done here. At a best priced 20/1, I was tempted, but I still felt the value is with Carter.

[Flushdraw]

I'll be backing against selby in most matches (might be the rock I'll perish on). When I was looking for value in the bottom half, I was between Higgins and Carter, only because they are in Selbys quarter. This is why Im against Selby:

Yep, i agree with you here but the only problem i have is that i really like Selby and would love to see him win Can't argue with sound logic though and i'm going on the Carter train too.

Boylesports doing moneyback (up to €100) if Trump wins, but i was on to them yesterday and they won't refund the win part of an EW bet as it's only for outright win bets

[connie147]

That was a great test of Carters mettle lyesterday, and he came throught it very well in my opinion. That Chinese lad is a fine player and probably the best prospect Ive seen from China since Ding. Id say Guodong will be a player to keep on the right side of next season.

Anyway, thats Carter into the 2nd round. I guess its too much to hope for that Ronnie and Carter meet in the final?

[The Situation]

Looking like a Doherty v McManus clash in the next round. Bit of 90's nostalgia there. They met in the last 16 in 1994

[The Situation]

Some absolute horrible stuff being played in this tournament. Worst standard I've seen in years.

No snooker expert but was surprised to see Ken at evens for Highest Break in Match market when I intuitively made him the better break builder of the 2.

http://www.oddschecker.com/snooker/world-championship/alan-mcmanus-v-ken-doherty/who-will-make-highest-break

So I looked up their respective stats on cuetracker.net (great site, wish all sports had such easily accessible stats banks).

http://www.cuetracker.net/pages/players.php?ID=38&season=2013/2014

And I found Ken over his career has made a century every 24.64 frames, while Angles McTrousers has only made one every 37.22 frames.
Same story in Season 2013-14. Ken one every 25.45 and McT one every 36.82.
Ken 325 career centuries v McT's 176 (both turned pro in 1990, so directly comparable)

Doherty also the higher ranked player, 28 to 35, so no more worries about his recent form than McT's. Seems clear to me Ken should be fav to make highest break here.

I have it on good authority that he didn't play because his estranged wife was getting a good % of his earnings so he stopped earning so as to renegotiate that deal. He's a completely fucked up individual who I couldn't trust at his current price, he was 6/1 last year.
Good luck if you've backed him, you're a braver man than me.

What an absolute genius he is. Effortless century when the last few reds were in very tough positions.

[Opr]

Ronnie just talking on BBC about how Dr Peters was up before today's session which helped him massively. He looked a completely different player. Peters had wanted to come up before Thursday's session but Ronnie refused as he's also deeply involved with the Liverpool squad at the moment which he didn't want to take him away from. He said that was a mistake as he could have done with him on Thursday. Peters really is earning himself a name as a miracle worker within sport at the moment.
