Frankly, I don't have strong "longshot" leanings this time... I can't get over the dominance Humphries showed in ET 13 last week... and his recent major tournament results are also outstanding... and then Littler and MVG also fired in big 100+ averages last week... add the strange fact that there are no 150/1 standouts this time (bookies are getting smarter? I mean, there are more dominant players now, the two Lukes primarily, and still, players like Ross Smith are around only 30/1...).
Two players I kind of like is Wade and Noppert. Both in the "Luke" half though, and especially Wade seems to have a harsh draw... most probably he would need to beat Cross+Dobey+Humphries+Littler to get to the finals... ouch.
So Noppert... well, he hits very good averages, he usually goes some rounds... but never wins a tournament... still, I think I'm rolling the dice on Noppert at 50/1 (I don't have sky unfortunately) - and will once again regret it. 😁
