World Snooker Championship

[Scott]

Its just kicked off, 17 days of action for all us snooker fans


I've had a bit of a punt, £20 on Ronnie at 8/1, to be fair i don't think he will win it but i just could'nt resist him at that price, and hopefully he will want to win it for the old man.


£10 on Selby at 5/1, always have a bet on the Leicester man and i think it could be his year.


£10 on Shaun Murphy at 16/1, again massive price, i really rate this former champion and he knows what it takes to win it.


anyone else on?

I've had 6 on higgins, 1.50 ew on Allen and trump, and 1 ew on Hendry. Didn't fancy Neil this year, proved right as he pegged out in round one!

i'm going to go for rory mcleod (for the same reason that those stupid americans went for obama: it's about time we had one of those blackie fellas win).

Just shows i will never make it in sports betting
Bugger you neil i had high hopes on you which is why i put 50 on instead of 20 DOH :x

I'm betting Williams and Stevens with a view to laying off if they make the semis. Selby is the solid player, though.

saw williams at g casino sheffield other night was playing poker, i took 600000 quid off docherty one night at the poker table hehe, nice guy atually i was about to go home when hendry comes up to us and says best of ten for a mill a frame? i was like oh yeah whatever as im not pro snooker but i fancied my chance on club tables (bigger pockets) hendry went 2-1 up but then I won 6-5 for a mill raise which i used to buy a space rocket and blast off intergalacticly and play some fruits in space. i found an unchipped amazing with 10 in it for a quick 800 raise then i biumped into shergar mr blobby president obama and ash from sheffield doing a fame on pluto so i moved onto the andromeda galazy and made a cool bill as all the mega were on max pots i used this to set up an intergalactic internet poker school and play myself a garan bill raise a minute. some of you reading may think this is way too far fetched and has been edited by jg, but it hasn't jg wouldn't do that he is a good moderator who doesn't edit things. this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Just checked Paddy Power and Rory Mcleod is 40/1 to win against John Higgins. (Higgins is a staggering 1/750 on to win). And it's only 5-2 at the moment.

Although Mcleod looks nothing but an average plodder* - it must be remembered that its a 2 horse race and Higgins doesn't always play his best.

If I was a russian gangster I would be busy laying Higgins, and then getting on the phone...

*average plodder is possibly being generous based upon the way he played this afternoon.

EDIT: And in the time I took to post he had come into 20/1.

[Drpepper]

I got selby at better than 6/4 to make the final on betfair, looks like free money at the moment

[Marcossvon]

Higgins, Williams and Trump.

Dodgy law firm or the type of tipping a certain mog would kill for?!!

Good result for the Crazy Frog
