Vafai odds against si??

make si 4/6

i like ur confidence Grenade   5 yoyos on Hossein @ 2.3

g'l me & any snooka puntas

:)

looking good so far

Yep, think odds were reflecting rankings though (Si 15, Hoss 32) - but I'd agree that didn't (obv now) reflect their actual chances here.

Could have got even better price at 3-1 down though!

its not priced up on rankings

Not always, but 1.8 Si looked like it was.

vafaei has lost more matches than he's won this ssn
only kowalski & pang junxu have worse scoring stats

he's inferior to si on all metrics, not that si is good

On fairly recent stats fair enough, but he got a QF most recent tournament, would have been mad to ignore longer term ability given that.

or ignore Si's pretty mediocre form leading up to this...

up to you stu if you want to over-value the most recent match/tournament played to make your bets
but if this match was played again next week vafaei wouldn't be fav

he's rammed up in grade from here on in anyway
judd R2 then selby/wu yize QF

I meant on longer term views, plus a recent upturn in form (QF) he certainly had ability to beat a Si in poor form (as he was) - hence the 1.8 looked to be based nearer to rankings values instead of those criteria.

longer term than 2 years?

It's tricky to give an exact value of course. But, that's what betting's about really, isn't it...

Must admit I find both these players slightly tricky to weigh up.

I don't like either of them tbh

Both have quite a 'range' in what level they play at, which makes them both very 'difficult' yes!

hope you played up your winnings

Would Si still be fav if they played next week ?

if they voided all matches & re-started the comp again next week?
yes vafaei wouldn't be fav
