There again, neither is Cornet. If Osorio is to break out of her current malaise, this is a good chance for her. Having said that though, I can see the appeal in the prices. -

Only just realised it's on so no. Wouldn't really know how to assess it in any case - Taylor's playing but his averages nowadays are dreadful and there's a couple of ladies playing also. Preference for me would be for the likes of Cameron and Scotty Dog and possibly Ashton - those that still play on the main tour. Thornton probably heads the market - I haven't looked - and Howson is also probably near the top of the betting. Part is playing as well I believe but it's difficult to imagine he'll have much of an impact.

Slight loss overall. Was on course for a profit if SF had won as it's likely that would have made Purdy MVP, but they couldn't make enough of their drive in OT. Can't complain too much though having found a big odds TD scorer and only hitting the teams points line because of OT.
-
I'm not sure it's ever worth backing at the head of the market in what are minor tournaments for the top players. I reckon you'd have lost a decent amount of money backing the shorties in these over the years.

This is a pasting the likes you rarely see in WTA. Cocciaretto is winning three quarters of all points on serve. Is she playing well or is Potapova having a nightmare - I'm not watching so have no idea. -

Should have a good chance. Ostapenko is capable of going missing for an entire set.

For clarity, my initial post was never about stepping on any admin toes; rather it was out of frustration at some of the posts I was seeing - and still do see from time to time. Like @Smiles Tennis I post much less than I used to because it's just not worth the potential hassle. -

Looks as though the game's up this time. Missing far too much. It probably doesn't matter anyway as far as the final goes - Ronnie is dialled in.
-
Allen for me. I can't see Carter winning easily so that just leaves Allen winning easily or a tight match. If it's tight, I reckon Allen's greater emotional control will see him over the line. Even if he falls behind like he did against Selby, he's got the mental resolve to hang in and recover. Trump let Carter off the hook when they played, as Carter was visibly frustrated at times and that affected how he played. I don't think Allen will do the same.
-
Probably didn't help that he was up until the early hours commentating on Allen v Selby. As @Fader suggested, you wonder where his priorities lie. It looks to me like he's far more interested in that side of things and playing snooker just goes along with it.
-
Exactly. Moaning about the venue almost looks as though he's getting his excuses in after underwhelming against Hawkins.

Best of luck @Foo_Fighter but for me Korda has absolutely no chance and isn't worth backing even at those odds. The quarter maybe, but not a prayer for the tournament. He's far too flaky. I'd love to see Murray do well but it's very difficult to see him having any sort of run as he seems to be involved in long slog-fests every time he plays and his body just isn't up to that any more.
-
You could also make the argument that a smaller sample should use 99%, whilst a bigger sample might be more able to tolerate lower confidence of 95%. I'd be looking for a bigger sample that satisfied p < 0.01 myself.
-
I use 99%. The extra 4% makes a big difference.
-
That worked out. Ronnie went odds against when it looked like he might go 4-2 behind, but after making it 3-3 he didn't lose another frame. Poor standard from both though - I thought Hawkins might get ahead by playing better than Ronnie but it was actually because Ronnie was worse than an average Hawkins. Pot success not even close to what's required to win this tournament so unless it was just on off day from O'Sullivan he'll do well to win the tournament on today's showing.
