my selection's Neil Roberston,
got a tough opening match again Doherty how isn't the player he once was and on the verge of dropping out of top 32,
then the winner of gould/gilbert i think he will breeze through this into the QF
now getting into the business end of tournament and hopefully overcome possibly williams or o'sullivan.
a tough SF against selby but winning a close match
then in the final overcoming trump, higgins or murphy
so starting off with £50 @10.5
hopefully by the end of sunday evening he will have won the 1st of 5 matchs to the title

tough opening match against doherty?

i know Doherty had a bad season last yr, and fancy robbo to win, just said "tough opening" because i think most 1st round match's are tough has players get a feel for the tables.

robertson to beat higgins in final

Think it's too long a tournie for Selby at the moment with his injury. Got a feeling it will catch up with him.
I agree with the Robertson's. Higgins a no for me this year. Trump still got a couple of years of mental improvement to do for me. Setup for the Aussie. |

By:
Masters winners in same year have bad record,would be all over him otherwise,draw is very good for the first couple of rounds

changed my bet now still over a grand waiting to be matched at 10.5, so got 80 @10's

£100 on Murphy at 17

and a fiver on Brecel at 130 - could be a wildcard!

Expect a good run from Matthew Stevens, Trump is far to over rated for my liking and 5/1 to lift the title is far to short.
Hendry to beat Bingham at evens will do me thank you very much, and I will hopefuly collect on the correct score of 10-5 10-6. |

Trump .
Much as I dislike him , but I think he'll have another good run . |

Very very open but gun at my head? .......................... Neil Robertson

Mark Allen will do for me as Im pretty sure the next champion will be a first timer.
|
|
By:
Robbofor me,expert David Hendon tweeted bk to me that he would win lol,ah no in all seriousness i fancy him to win ,fancy him to grab a couple of Worlds in the next 2-3 years.. Allen is my EW bet good value and in good form,Selby a big lay with that neck inj i cant see him lasting 16days

A lot of smart people saying Robertson
Personally don't think he's ready to win it again yet.. Ding/Maguire final with Ding winning I reckon |
|
By:
Do you really think Allen has the temperament to go all the way Moondan. I mean 13-5 defeat against Williams last year, he completely lost his head didn't he?
I've actually backed him myself amongst others, but maybe I'll back to lay or get rid completely. Hmmm, at least he should get through 1st round easily enough. My other main selections: Ding & Murphy. Lots of small backs on some high priced players. |
|
By:
Ding the serial choker,wouldnt put a penny on him
|
|
By:
Except when he's won tournements, but maybe you're right, we shall see.
|
|
By:
I agree that Neil Robertson has a tricky 1st round match against Doherty, who can be shocking in both meanings of the word 'shocking', but to me he's the right choice, as is John Higgins.
|
|
By:
lukekelly88 - dont know how you can call someone who has won 2 UKs and a Masters as a serial choker
|
|
By:
Think Trump has the 'easiest' route to the semis so I'm on him at 6.2
Will be looking to lay off later on though. I agree Ding or Robertson look the pick of the bunch. |
|
By:
at the crucible i have never been impressed by him,in my opinion he is a choker.. he can turn it on from time to time but he should have won a heck of a lot more tournaments with the hype thats surrounded him for the last 7 years
|
|
By:
robertson, amazing amazing price. nailed on for the semis....would be worried about an in form ding but that's about it
|
|
By:
John Higgins. This guy ia going to surpass Davis and Hendry
|
|
By:
nice start for robbo winning 10-4, and now faces gilbert in the 2nd round
|
|
By:
Ronnie Osullivan (10.5) Win bet.
|
|
By:
Ronnie peaking too early
|

By:
Trump has different pressure these days. Not only favourite in the betting but favourite in his own head. He expects great things and like Selby struggled with expectation, it may just stop him playing to his max .
Higgins will struggle to play himself into form. Ronnie could struggle when he plays fellow attacking players who hit his confidence. Robertson ticks every single box again this year. He is bang in form, he can battle,handle pressure, his matchplay game is much improved. He can play to a very high level consistently and he seems to be on an upward curve. |

By:
trump @4.9 now.
 |
|
By:
Not easy to win this event when you are favourite and the expectation is for you to win it. Trump has completely different pressure on him than last year. Robertson is equally as talented in the balls and his long game. Robertson has the edge on experience and maturity. Boys dont win the World Championship.
|
|
By:
Will Trump reach evens overnight??
 How silly is that price? 4.9 and he's not even played 1st round... I know why it's been shortening but it still is shockingly low. |
|
By:
I wont have a bet until the quarters just stick to the match betting.
I am certain there is no Hendry out there but Judd could be the closest thing if he grows up. Too many dark horses emerging and Stevens springs to mind. Ding seems to be slipping under the radar but these tables dont help real class. |

just added mark williams £20 @ 28's,

By:
Ronnie looked "chilled~out" yesterday.
 7/1 to lift the trophy.  |
|
By:
Robertson. Bit cheeky making my pick now I know
|
|
By:
that half certainly opening up now with Ding gone and Selby on way out too,Williams could be a little big
