Yeah, some weird Snooker in the morning session. Heathcote got it back to 2-2 after one of the most barmy frames I've ever seen and then let it slip. Miah was most frustrating though. Got in first 3 out of the first 4 frames and everytime he got into a commanding position, he choked. Atleast Taylor got a win, but a small defecit on the day. -3pts

Not a whole bunch of time to get this wrote up with Xintong Vs Carrington kicking off in an hour but the majority of the bets are in the 2.30/7pm matches. I expect Jimmy Robertson to continue his good form against O'Donnell. Robertson is hitting the balls very well at the moment and gave Trump some worries at times. I also like the look of Gary Wilson to beat the out-of-form Ian Burns. My main bet in that match is for Wilson to hit the -2.5 handicap with a 5-1/5-2 win but I think if he gets a good start there is a half chance of a whitewash today. This could look silly if he struggles

Yeah, the perfect result for both of us. Well done.

Think Arsenal lived up the the start of their name for lots of us in this round ? 
Good luck to the last 4 .

Lovely to win your bet in the first frame, pretty much

Great start 141 break in first frame

Cheers mate,good to find somewhere where people bet on snooker

In the latter games, I will take Taylor to beat Hugill first up. Taylor is quite an underrated player really and has had some decent results over the last couple of years. He's already beaten a couple of old legends of the game in Stephen Hendry and Jimmy White this season and he's also pushed Murphy to a deciding leg at the Northern Ireland Open last week. I think he beats Ash Hugill, who I think is just abit too hot and cold. Hugill started the season really well and got to the semi-finals of the Championship League. He then beat Kyren Wilson at the British Open before going out to Hamilton. Since then though, 3 lost matches and all in deciding legs and one to youngster Wu Yize.
The Ford Vs O'Connor match should be an interesting one. I can't see that being a one-sided result and I think O'Connor has a chance but Ford made the Semi-finals of this event last year and he will be playing this with a need to keep ranking points. So despite a covid positive test, I can't take him on, here.
4pts A.Taylor to beat A.Hugill 3/4 888sport
 

Well done, nice to get a result though it looked like Higgins was going to snatch it away from you! Thought it was all over at 8-6 but Allen turned it round nicely!

We're straight into qualification for the German Masters today, with 8 matches being played throughout the day. It's a "first to 5" format.
2:30pm
McGill Vs Heathcote
Miah Vs O'Neill
Surety Vs Joyce
Yuelong Vs Devlin

7:00pm

Maguire Vs Dale
Ford Vs O'Connor
First up, I have to take Heathcote to beat McGill. McGill is having a horrible start to a season. He actually boasts 2 4-0 wins over Heathcote and both were in 2021 with the most recent being in March but in this new season McGill has played 5 and lost 5. You can rule out the 3 Championship League matches but even then he has gone out in Round 1 in the last 2 tournaments against players like Lee Walker and Jianbo. They are players well beneath the calibre of Ant McGill. Heathcote has played 10 matches this season and won 4. You wouldn't say he is playing anything special but he's beaten players that you would expect him to (including Walker 4-3, who beat McGill 4-3 last week) at some point McGills form will turn around and it could well be today, but for the odds of 2/1 I'm happy to go with a couple of points on it.
I'll also take Miah to beat Jamie O'Neill. This could end up a right silly looking bet, but Jamie O'Neill has been so poor this season and Miah looks to be a man who is improving everytime I see him. Finally in the afternoon matches, I'm going have a punt on Devlin to beat Yuelong. Yuelong looked terrible against Jimmy Robertson at the Northern Ireland Open and on his day Devlin can cause some damage. He got Allen back to 3-2 at the Northern Ireland Open after going 3-0 down and he's pushed Stevens to a deciding frame.
evening preview to come....

Yep, if Arsenal win tomorrow then we will have just the 3 going through to Week 9. If Arsenal don't win, then everybody goes through to Week 9 as it's over 6 players going out.

just edited the pts win as I put him up at each-way. I thought for a moment in this match that I was going to have 3 players in the last 4 and not get a winner  
you're welcome mate

straight into the German Masters qualifications tomorrow. English Open next big event. Nov 1st - 7th,

so nice to see Allen win in his home town. Higgins was brilliant. Thought that he had thrown it away at 8-6 down but that was brilliant and very tense.
+44pts with the 18/1 winner tonight. The match betting didn't go too well at the back end but the 18/1 and 16/1 quarter winner helped.

lol, yeah i went outright and not each-way. Doh! but i each-way on Walden.
It's hard because Walden wont win the final but he gets the most return. Bingtao has played the best of the 4 for me. Allen / Bingtao final would be a good match.

lol, yeah i went outright and not each-way. Doh! but i each-way on Walden.

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.

I'll take Gilbert to beat Higgins tonight. I thought Gilbert was excellent lastnight, when I watched him against Selby. Took his chances well and could have won easier. He takes on Higgins, who has in the past had a fantastic record against him but Gilbert has won 19 of his last 22 matches now and is most definetely playing the better snooker of the two, so if he keeps his head tonight and can get a nice start, I don't see why he can't go on to make the Semi-finals.
I'll take a bet on a treble today too and if Walden beats Murphy, I'll be happy to lose that one.

2 that I like today and that's King to continue his good form against Haotian. Carter should have beaten Haotian and after going 1-0 up, Haotian fluked a ball to win the 2nd frame and things didn't go well from there. Haotian did play quite well, but King was alot better in his performance and has won the last 2 h2h. Other I like is Lines against Bingtao. Bingtao is an outright pick but Lines is flying right now. I expected him to beat Woollaston but 4-0 was a great result.
