now with ireland out of the cricket, we can look forward to the snooker starting this weekend
first round match............Ronnie o Sullivan versus JinHui looks like a cracker of a game, and interesting to see Davis V Parrott, will that one last more than 8 hours or more?
my tip............Robertson at 14/1
I wouldnt look past an O'Sullivan Hendry final
O'sullivan to beat Ebdon in the final
i reckon ebdon is gonna win it
No surprise that Dott lost IMO, probably the worst world champion ever.
Jonh Parrot leading Steve Davis 6-3.:eek:
O'Sullivan-Junhui starting now in a minute. Junhui is an amazing player and I got him to be world champion within 5 years a few years ago at generous odds.:cool:
Anyway I reckon it will be a Roberston-Doherty final.
In fairness he's wona couple of tournaments since and was provisional world no. 1Quote:

How long ago did you get the odds? 8-1 to O'Sullivan; looks like more betting losses for you!Quote:

Having to re-think that Roberston final prediction now...
If he wins by 2010 I win (made the bet in 2004 actually when he was 16). Got odds of 100-1 and put a tenner on it.Quote:

One of those bets is a work in progress!
Doherty would want to get his act together this afternoon as he is lucky to be only 6-3 down he made a lot of mistakes yesterday.
Lost 10-7 after bringing the scores back to 6-6, and also 7-7.
I think dmanetc's betting credibility is shot through at this stage. :)
Who said I placed a bet?;)Quote:

Hope you didn't put too much on that :pQuote:

ya, they dont seem to claim either!!!
have to say selby and higgins looked terrible last night. is it me or was the standard far better 10 years ago or so?
No, its way better now. Look at the Maguire Higgins game.
Here's hoping for a Maguire Murphy grudge match final
ok then 15 years ago. just looking at the selby higgins game, miss after miss, from when i remember back in the early 90's hendry or davies or even white on form wouldn't need a second asking.
But thats only 3 players. The likes of Patsy Fagan and Neal FOulds missed regularly. Look how many 147s are done these days. I think there's about 3/4 a year and the first tv one wasn't until the mid 80s
Didn't see the game you're on about, but I watch quite a bit of snooker and the standard now is far far better than it ever was
