I'm a big fan of Winstanley and the best thing about this result is that it'll help him have a less horrendous passage in the early rounds for future tournaments.
Gary however...is RAPIDLY sinking down my list of favourite players - he used to be my favourite player but I just can't defend him any more The man is a hoax and needs some serious therapy! There's ALWAYS an excuse with him
As I said earlier...he's a gold-mine for me, as you set your lays before the game starts decrementing from 1.1 to 1.01 - that way, you never lose THAT much. When are some of you gonna learn?
That said...nobody on this forum would be more pleased if he became world champion, and as we all know, the raw ability is there.
That was a great result for me as I laid him in the outright winner market but still had a sneaky saver on him as well when his price bounced out.
PS - that was my tenner waiting on Dean at 1000 when it was 4-0 and like a coward I cancelled it when Gary went 5-0 up! Someone with bigger balls than me did actually get the 1000 so good luck to you squire
PPS - I must add that I'm the ballbag (in another guise) that SERIOUSLY opposed 'Win Only SP Only' when he advised Anderson was an absolute certainty for the 180's market in the Premier League and I was all over Lewis at 7/1
PPPS - sorry to rub it in WOSO, but that was limp advice

Latalomne's post about Baxter's smile applies to Gary as well.
Gary just seem's too happy about losing a game in which he was 5-0 up. You shouldn't be smiling after that, you should be incensed with yourself.
You get the feeling he's not too bothered about titles, just as long as he gets a few quid in his sky.

Latalomne - when Ronnie's costing you big bucks and that smirk is there, I have to agree with you
He's one of those players that 'on his day' can give ANYONE a game!

Think players smiling and joking around after a loss happens far less now than say 10 years ago.
Players generally sporting in defeat but think with money involved and strength in depth means these losses hurt more

Can I also recommend a book to you if you enjoy stories of hustlers and proposition gamblers. 'Titanic Thompson - The Man Who Bet on Everything' by Kevin Cook. A fab tale from the crazy days of the first half on the American 20th century. Now there was a character.
Available from all good bookshops and plenty of bad ones too I guess.
Thought you'd like that tale lads. Can I also recommend a book to you if you enjoy stories of hustlers and proposition gamblers. 'Titanic Thompson - The Man Who Bet on Everything' by Kevin Cook. A fab tale from the crazy days of the first half on the
saturday afternoons are always a minefield with Gwynne. You enjoy listening to all the scores and then they go to some wasteland up north and his dulcet tones appear like nails down a blackboard.

Guy I knew many years ago was a top pool player (played for England at one point)
He was playing one of his more ordinary playing friends for cash and was unable to get a bet on so he gave the guy the proposition "You have two shots, I'll have one"
His mate refused this.
So he offered three shots to one, and still got refused.
So he came up with "Tell you what. You have as many shots as you want".
Mate scratched his head and took the bet. Potted a load of balls and inevitably snookered himself and fouled, so my friend cleared up and took the money!

The main thing I HATE about Ronnie is that he ALWAYS seems to do the hard part in breaking his opponent's throw, and INEVITABLY loses his own straight away

remember ronnie getting annoyed on stage 3 or 4 years back v wade
wade was coasting and made a salute to someone in crowd, half taking piss.
ronnie came storming back and did a salute back, wade won but ronnie was seething.

Anyone remember that "tricky" night when Helen Chamberlian came on here & I had to apologies to her. What a night that was. Talk about learning a lesson!!!!!!

PS - remember what I said about the 1.1 and under lays....Ronnie ALWAYS fcuks up on his own throw with a game at his mercy
SY - was that at Bolton 4 or 5 years ago?PS - remember what I said about the 1.1 and under lays....Ronnie ALWAYS fcuks up on his own throw with a game at his mercy

A MONUMENTAL night of ballnessless from Anderson & Chisnall - two players you should lay the sac off in EVERY tournament! The sad thing is that they're equipped to give even TAYLOR a real match if they weren't such turds
Baxter's another and he'll fcuk up for sure in the next round against Deano - even if he does beat him...he'll let you down when the heat is REALLY on as he's got form going back three decades!

If Taylor and his ridiculous standard didn't exist and had never been seen, would players who are insanely talented but inconsistent be lambasted so much when they lose?

HAHAHA. Winstanley was the bet of the round. Anderson is a ****ing bottle merchant. He should **** off back to the BDO and play pub darts again with his loser mates. Infact, nah, he should stay, the bookies always have him as odds on favourite and he obliges and loses.
Chisnall is another bottle job, although unlike Anderson hes young and seems to have the desire to win, he'll get it right in time.
Anderson.
