Looks like it'll be Si going through. McGill has been proper 'toilet' this last frame with Si currently on his third chance to get the job done.
-
Exactly. But it'll probably make the odds on McGill even juicier. If McGill wins this decider, I'll be on him to beat Brecel and I expect it'll be a very nice price.
-
If I'm Brecel I'm crossing my fingers McGill doesn't win. He'll know that playing McGill will be a real test because McGill will have to be scraped off the table, plus he's had experience of the latter stages here. Si's style will suit Brecel better and I'm sure Brecel knows that.
-
I see what you mean but weirdly that's exactly the sort of play that's likely to trip Brecel up. O'Sullivan is either good or bad. McGill on the other hand, has more variation. He can be good or bad but he'll also battle and frames will become scrappy at times and that'll mean Brecel can't get into any rhythm. McGill also won't be giving Brecel any encouragement by giving up any frames where only a snooker or two is required - like O'Sullivan did. Ronnie played right into Brecel's hands today. McGill - if it is McGill - won't do that.
-
Completely agree. He beat O'Sullivan playing attacking snooker, which got increasingly attacking the more he realised that O'Sullivan wasn't at the races and wasn't punishing his misses. It's easy to play high-tariff snooker when you're confident that your opponent's having a shocker - less so when your opponent plays steady, percentage snooker. Like I said, Ronnie put Brecel under no pressure at all and that was the key to him winning. All the talk after the match from the pundits and also Ronnie - not surprisingly - would have given the impression that Brecel played lights out. He didn't. He played well but I don't call 89% pot success across the match lights out snooker and a repeat of that in the next round and he's going back to Belgium but this time not coming back.
-
It'll never happen unfortunately. Besides, he wouldn't care about being fined.
-
There used to be a pinnacle api but not sure if it's still live. I wouldn't fixate on pinnacle closing lines though - they aren't the be all and end all, despite what you might read.
-
It'll be worth opposing Brecel in the next round now. That result will guarantee he's overvalued, especially as he was nowhere near as good as was suggested after the match - that's just what always seems to happen when Ronnie loses. He played well there's no doubt, but to an extent he was allowed to. I don't see that happening next round.
-
Bookie odds on 7-0 to Brecel in that session must have been ridic. Combined with no O'Sullivan break over 30 and the odds must have been astronomical.
-
Ronnie was atrocious. 79 percent pot success in the session, misaligning shots, played like a rank amateur. To go from 10-6 to 10-13 is ridiculous. He gave up in places and put Brecel under no pressure - if he had, it might have been a different story. Hendry in the commentary box would have beaten O'Sullivan playing like that.
-
Nice pick
-
Also, the suggestion that if betting on player 2 all the time leads to losses then betting on player 1 will make gains is flawed. There's juice on both sides so what you'll find in the long run is betting on player 1 all the time will lead to a loss as well. If player 1 is normally the favourite then that loss should be achieved more slowly as you'll have more winners than losers, but it'll be a loss just the same and most likely a lesser loss than when picking underdogs.
-
Speaking from experience, you'll need thousands of bets before you know if you're on the right track. I know you've had a few goes at this sort of thing so my advice would be to persevere rather than tweaking all the time. When I say persevere I don't mean forever as that could lead to large losses, but at least until you reach a stop loss point.

First thing I thought after the 147 - what price two or more. Wouldn't surprise me if there's another the scoring is so good.

I took that. Came nowhere. Still worth it though. -
147 landed. Cheers Kyren

Alexandrova is very hit and miss in my experience. The kind of player who can beat anyone but also lose to anyone.
-
Best of luck @Swami but personally I can't have the words Alexandrova and reliable in the same sentence.
