I couldn't believe Murphy's play to get out of the snooker in the final frame. How could he miss it three times in a row?! His final attempt was particularly amateurish whereby he just belted it and hoped for the best. 🤦‍♂️ Possibly the pressure got to him, can't think of any other explanation. Both players made uncharacteristic mistakes in that final frame but Murphy must be kicking himself, Juahui gave him several chances to win after all, but he couldn't seize the day.

Saw a bit of Ronnie's match, he's not playing well enough to win the title, if this match is anything to go by. Watching Carter and Jones now. Standard has been pretty poor from both. Jones has been shocking at times yet somehow is leading 5-3. Carter must be wondering how on earth he lost that eighth frame, having been in total control and with a free ball and needing just one more pot to leave Jones needing snooker. Twas a comedy of errors though from both players although tbf Jones redeemed himself with a quality clearance to steal the frame.

Just saw the Musetti Kec result, a bagel in the 2nd set, what the heck happened there.. 🙈 Glad I didn't go too big on the Serb. Will steer clear of him for the next while after this no show.

ok my dude, if it's working out for you then great, keep crushing it 😎

I agree. Without wishing to sound preachy, if you're treating the betting as anything other than a fun hobby, then that's not a good sign. Sure, you can make a little bit of money on the side if you play your cards right, but you can also lose big if you get too eager. Don't force it. Otherwise you'll start to take on unwise bets and before you know you'll be down quite a bit of money. My policy is I take a look at what people are saying on here, contribute my own thoughts here and there, and then put on a tennis bet or two every second or third day, and that does me, Overall I'm probably more or less breaking even this last while, but I enjoy the process. That approach works for me. Not saying you should do the same, but there's a lot to be said sometimes for stepping back and taking a breather. 🙂

Out of interest, as am following the games live, but Paddy Power doesn't appear to be updating their outright prices in play, despite some rank outsiders looking like they might win their opening matches. Check Stan Moody for instance, still out at 175 to 1, despite being 4-1 up. Same with 'O Neill, Pinhey and one or two others, Maybe worth a small punt on some of the long odds outsiders, especially the ones who are close to winning their first qualifying matches.
