World Championship Snooker

Wonder if Ali will go halves on a Bentley with Ronnie?

I think he can probably afford one anyway Ronnie did say hed cover himself with the bookies after his maximum incase anyone else made one. Whether he got a private deal with a bookie or what not I dont know but you could bet each remaining player yesterday in the tournament at 60-1+ to make a maixmum. I worked out at the time at the odds available hed have to part with about 10k of his 157k if he wanted to cover himself to win 147k profit overall whether another one was made or not. Hopefully he did it

Really heavy scoring in that Ebbo v Carter game. Unfortunately Carter may gain new found confidence from that 147 and be able to get over the line from 9-7. Ebbos still got every chance but the 2/1 odds on him to win from here look more or less right, maybe a smidgen too long but nothing more.

Btw I took the Hendry v Day over 22.5 frames @ 11/10. After the 1st sessions of todays matches, 3 matches were 4-4 and 1 was 7-1, obviously we know which one Day played like a complete incompetent today, you cant account for that, and I hold out no hope for that wager although I did get some renewed hope when he went 8-5 only to lose the next 3. The second session was littered with errors from both players, very poor snooker. Hendry did play good in the first sesh though. If hes 3/1+ against Ronnie in the semi im having some of that, I think itll be a close one. Hendry will probably be 9/4ish though is my guess.

My 'crucible curse' continues I havent won a bet in this tournament since I bet Steve Davis to beat Andy Hicks in the 1st round in 2006 I checked out my old records and thats 8 match related bets and 6 outright winner bets without a return . Ive always done well in other snooker tournies though, just one of those random things I suppose.

I'm having a pretty poor tournament too mate.
I love watching and playing snooker, and like to think i know something about it, but am really struggling.

I do think that although Hendry is playing well, he is getting plenty of chances, and these days he is not as likely to kill the frame off in one visit like he used to. What i am impressed with him though is that he isn't going for as many of the 'shit or bust' pots that he has been.

Is there any bets that folks can recommend for this session? I just want a bet on something whilst it's on. thanks

Hendrys playing well in bits and pieces. Hes still throwing in lots of errors around the bottom pockets on medium difficulty pots and even some very easy ones, hes gona have to sort that out to beat Ronnie (or hope Ronnie underperforms). 3/1 and Ill be taking it on that he can pull it out the bag but as I said 9/4 is the sort of price I reckon will be offered.

Perry leads Maguire 8-7, yet is 6/5 with Betfred going into the evening session. I dont agree with that, Perry is Evens at worst there imo. Im not gona take it on but I do think thats a value bet.

Macguire 8/11 Now Mr M. You think thats a good bet? I just cant take in what folks are telling me on this thread

[kompressaur]

ah you like Perry to win it? Im getting evens so i'll leave it too.

Ronnie on brink right now. Be glad to see the wee Chinese go out if I'm honest, still believe he knew exactly what he was doing after the "miss" which I mentioned in an earlier post.

Hendry, on recent years from, has done brilliant this WC. Rocket will be a different proposition altogether though, and the Scot will definitely need to find a few more gears or he could be on the end of a thumping. As MrM says though, Ronnie could always come out not firing which would give Hendry a real shout. If Hendry could find some form of old then I think he'd win regardless of what Ron brings, sadly though I think his best is well behind him. No bets for me but would love to see Hendry doing it one more time. Maybe a couple of correct score fun bets, we'll see.

i was just here to say im gonna have a couple of quid on the chinese dude Ed and the comeback is on. Be great if he comes back and beats him.

[Yen_Sid]

Keep yer money komp, as good as over. May even be over actually , I'm on the fittie now.

[kompressaur]

Ed what you fancy in the Maguire/Perry game? i think im getting ......hold on odds gone

[kompressaur]

even money macguire and 8/11 Perry

[Yen_Sid]

Maguire a much better player komp but seems to be struggling at the moment, Perry looks like he's about to take an 11-10 lead. Even at that, if i was a gambling man and at those odds or better I'd take Maguire.

[Yen_Sid]

Still 10-10 and Maguire back in the balls (not going to say oeer coz I think it's gay as fck) so can get back on track.

[Yen_Sid]

And Maguire takes the frame. Hope you got that bet on komp when it was 10 all and 0-53. .. Snooker on here and fittie on telly, oh it's a tough life
