And Allen cues off his jaw. Painful to watch this match

Was thinking that this year must smash previous years for having the most number of left handed players in the tournament?
Mark Allen
Judd Trump
Neil Robertson
Jack Lisowski
Mark King
Mark Williams
Barry Hawkins
I can only think of another 6 left handers that have played at the crucible
Jimmy White
Andy Hicks
Ian McCulloch
Tony Meo
Dean Reynolds
Darren Morgan
7 must be the most or anyone know anything different?

Got me reading about Robidoux to see what happened him.
Bizarre stuff, got given his cue as a young player by an auld lad in Canada - and every summer he sent it to the auld lad to touch it up for the new season.
Then in 1997 as he reached the heady heights of No9 in world he got sponsored by Riley who stamped their name on the butt of the cue as part of the sponsorship deal. Robidoux sent it off for the summer repair job as usual, and the master sent in back in a dozen broken fragments due to his disgust at the sponsorship name on his workmanship.
Robidoux forced to use a new cue didn't win a game the following season, and ended up off the tour a few years later.Last edited by ArmaniJeans; 23-04-13, 23:24.

I'm going to put Carter to beat Ronnie into a bet with Walden to beat Robertson (should be get through) and and have a punt on R2 Bingham/White double.
Will probably punt a few more in running games because i'm up a bit from the 1st round thanks these and a few others. Could have been better because i was freerolling ~€2k with Dale vs Trump, but Trump never went worse than 1/5 in the game and didn't have a big enough roll online to green up a decent amount on it.
Aftetiming ftw

You've had a good start with your multipiles, keep it up.
Yeah, Trump should beat Fu comfortably, I prefer the 1/3 than taking the h'cap.
I personally wouldn't touch Carter, he's only beaten O'Sullivan once and that was a nothing match.
White to beat Poom @ 4/7, would have thought it'd be a lot shorter. -1.5 @ 8/11 also.

There's usually a 2nd round match starting before all 1st round games are finished, but not this year so it's a short day and then can look properly. Still have some Quarter betting, outrights and High Break/Centuries running so hoping it continues!

Originally posted by Howard Finkel View PostTrump at 1/3 is a shocking price. Dont back him at that price. Marco Fu is a big game player. he is the bet imo.
Carter wont beat Ronnie either, lighting cash on fire.Last edited by thedini; 25-04-13, 10:40.

Originally posted by thedini View PostSeriously? I would have thought that he was a massive underachiever, he doesn't win jack shit.
He just seems to lack the mindset to finish the job as regards winning events
He is a really big scorer (i know it doesnt seem like it, everything Fu does seems to go unnoticed) he is in the top 10 of all time century makers.
Im not saying he is a lock to beat Trump, just the prices are wrong and thus makes Fu the bet.Last edited by Wesley Harms; 25-04-13, 10:47.

Originally posted by thedini View PostThat's fair enough, we'll just have to disagree on the pricing, also his record at the crucible is beyond dismal for a man with such talent and scoring prowess.
Its why punting is so much fun when half a point can swing your entire opinion

I think the 11/4 available on Hawkins vs Selby is pretty big and definitely offers the most value of the 2nd round matches already confirmed.
Obviously Selby is on form this year being world number 1 and winning the UK and the Masters and got to the final of the last tournament the China Open. Hawkins did beat Ding in the 1st round there but lost in the 2nd.
They match up quite evenly on head to head records (Selby leads 5-4) and Hawkins beat Selby 10-3 in the 1st round of the World's last year (albeit Selby had the neck injury at the time).
Based on the first round performances of both players I believe Hawkins can edge this one and is certainly value at 11/4

I also think a small bet for interest on Mark King against Ding at 4/1 is not neccessarily burning money. King is a tough match player, and never fazed by the big occassion imho, and the one thing Ding doesnt enjoy is a battle. If both players play the same as they did in round 1, then this is going to be much closer han the bookies think. (maybe its a case of the heart ruling the head here as King is such a likeable guy, and Id love to see him beating Ding)

Posted in the BBV last night that I thought Milkins looked to be striking the ball beautifully. Meant to stick a few quid on him at 100-1 earlier today but never did. Watched the end of the match and while Robertson missed and an awful lot of pots Milkins potted some balls in the final few frames. Pity he hadn't got his head together a few years back as he looks like a guy with all the natural talent in the world. His ability to cue over a ball is incredible. He plays a shot in the final frame cuing over a ball that he plays with loads of side off the cushion across the table that was wonderful under so much pressure.

Good effort so far this morning from Fu to get back to only trailing 8-6. He'd love to go into the final session 9-7 down. I always enjoy listening to Alan McManus commentating. He's really current and on the ball with his analysis and blows the likes of Taylor and Thorne out the water and i think he's the best of the lot. Reminds me of Olivier Busquet commentating on poker.

Originally posted by Opr View PostWas wondering if any significant history existed between O'Sullivan and Carter as watching the highlights and Ali looks like he wants to club Ronnie to death after he hits down between frames. Commentator just mentioned he hasn't beaten him in 12 attempts so I guess that's it.

I see on bet365 that Walden is 4/7 for the match and 4/5 on the handicap (-1.5). I think he's an absolute certainty on both counts.
