Hi guys.  Next comp will start next weekend.  I've not actually started going through our final week's results yet from last week but hopefully making a start this weekend.   Thank goodness for International Break

This gets underway today. We have no Premier League this week. You would have to fancy the form of Price at the moment. 4/1 is a short price though and as usual, I want some good value here. I think Cullen is just about good enough in terms of price to be worth a bet. He would have to beat the likes of Price and MVG but recently MVG just misses too many doubles.

One bet for in the matches today and it's Luke Woodhouse to beat Boulton. Last time they played was in 2018 and Woodhouse won that 6-3 and I think since then Woodhouse can say he is a better player. Not sure Boulton can.

8/1 comes in and the even shot. Some fine performances, there.

Lots of winners with 34 successful bets and 5 Divisions posting a profit this week.
There were 2 massive 18/1 trebles with @Like A Roughie's odds just beating @1945harry, and also a 12/1 for @fischer21.   Harry takes the lead at the top of the overall with @Larkin22 in second spot after 3 wins in 3 weeks.
Sorry to keep you all waiting so long this week, not sure what happened, the week just flew away from me (in Storm Dudley and Eunice maybe).
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are the current Division standings after week 2, sorry for delay in getting these up.  I'll add in the overall top of the table tonight and get the odds up for this weekend
Well done to Division 4 with 6 winners and an awesome profit and also Div 1 in profit.   We had 23 winners altogether.
Bet of the week @cookro with a lovely 7.5/1 treble   followed by @Gazza's United and @MacPhisto with 6/1s.

Apologies for delay in getting the tables up for leg 1.  Fortunately it's International Break weekend this week so our next leg isn't due until the following weekend.  Tables will be up soon.
 

No, not this event. Good to see Wright go out last night. Opens up the bottom half so much. There wasn't much I liked last night. Here's tonights line up:
Gawlas Vs Murnan
Ratajski Vs Noppert
Wade Vs Smith-Neale
Aspinall Vs King
M.Smith Vs Searle
MVG Vs Krcmar
Price Vs Edhouse
Heta Vs Clemens
Some nice 50/50 kind of matches tonight, atleast from the bookies perspective but I think Gawlas and Searle (both even shots) are more than 50% likely to win. Gawlas is a good player and if he can bring that form to the big screen then he should be too consistent for Murnan, who is either awful or brilliant. Searle looked excellent at the Grand Prix until he got to the Semi-Final and then was terrible but in the early round of a tournament I think he will be care-free against Smith and would like to think the doubling would return.
I'll also take King to beat Aspinall. Aspinall just hasn't shown me any real solid form since the Premier League and King is dangerous to anybody.

Straight into the next one as the Cazoo European Championships get started on Thursday. Peter Wright won this last year, beating the previous years winner James Wade, in the final. A 4 day event that's hosted in Austria, Suljovic's home country.
The top 32 players from the European Tour make up this event so think the Super Series, Winter Series winners etc..
Price is in the top half and it looks like he will meet MVG in the Quarter Finals (aslong as MVG can beat Wade) in the other part of the top half we have Ratajski, Smith, Searle, Noppert and Aspinall so this tournament will really catch fire Quarter finals onwards. The player I like from the top half is Ratajski. He played some really good stuff last week and was unlucky to go out to Clayton in that Quarter Final. He was the only player to really push Clayton at the Grand Prix.
In the bottom half Peter Wright will have Suljovic and Cullen in his half. I think Suljovic has a chance of going deep in this event but it's hard to know his form because the Grand Prix has the double in/double out aspect. Add to the fact Mensur is "at home" i think he is worth a small bet. In the other half of the bottom I like a few outsiders. Cross will likely meet De Sousa in the Quarter Finals but I wasn't that impressed with De Sousa and I think one of Rydz/Humphries/Williams can give Cross a go if they make it through.

In the stupid hours of Sunday morning, around 5-6am, the trilogy will be completed as once again Fury takes on Wilder.  I think we'll see a closer fight than the 2nd one and perhaps more like the first fight. I still think Fury will win but I can see this one going to latter stages and perhaps even going to a decision on points, to Fury, who is the much better boxer.
skybet are doing evens on Fury winning but it's a tenna max bet. Paddypower are offering a free bet of the same amount for their "what odds" bets which are what my other 2 selections are.

The final is tonight then and I can't ignore the difference in form of the two. Everything points to Clayton, the form, the averages, the doubling, the crowd, who will be 100% Clayton and the fact Price is struggling with his arm (know how that feels) 
The problem is Price always finds a way to win these and has a massive head-2-head advantage. I'm very much torn, because you have to favour Clayton on all these facts above. I'll go with my heart instead of my head on this one and I'll take Clayton to win. His averages have been consistently good through the tournament and if he goes below 90 for this one then we know he has a real mental block with Price. He did beat him in a Players Championship final but that's not on the TV.
I get the feeling this will either be a Clayton win with ease or Clayton will bottle is alittle bit and it be a scrappy 5-4 Price. One thing for sure, Clayton isn't scoring 180s like Price is and is tending to go T19 after two T20s. He is hitting alot of 140s but that's always been the case with Clayton and so I think Price hits most 180s tonight. 
4pts J.Clayton (-1.5 sets) to beat G.Price 2/1 paddypower
2pts Price to hit the most 180s but LOSE the match 3/1 paddypower
2pts Clayton win / Price most 180s / Clayton highest checkout 6/1 skybet

We just got to 20 winners this week so the over-150 club is getting smaller but top of the table @Soi Bongkot is stretching his lead with another winner.
This week's top performer @Like A Roughie storms into 2nd spot with a phenomenal 33/1 draw treble , next best @botmission's 7/1 treble
 

Start studying, I'll put the selection threads up tonight.

Bayern Munich v Bochum (over 2.5) @ 1.20
Lazio v Cagliari (over 2.5) @ 1.53
112 points Double

A small event that's starting tomorrow and lasts over the weekend. Looks very straight forward for the big guns, this. Can't see past Peter Wright in the bottom half and the top half looks like a Van Den Bergh/Price semi-final. I can't trust Anderson after abit of a lay-off.
Looking at the outsiders, it's hard to make a case for anybody. Can Sherrock really beat Price, Van Den Bergh & then Wright/MVG? I can't see it. She could perhaps run Price close. Perhaps Razma upsetting Aspinall looks to be the only potential slip, based on how horrible Aspinall looked last week.

Half of the 1st round will take place today. Not too much to shout about as all games are heavily one-sided. Well, for the most part. I'm going to take a 4-fold over the course of the 2-days and probably add a few singles in tomorrows matches.  (better value tomorrow)
