dave Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Time to back Ebdon now @ 13/8? Came from 8-3 down to beat Lee 13-9 From 8-2 and 10-6 down to beat O'Sullivan 13-11 Currently 9-7 down and, while Murphy's break building was superb this morning, his safety was at times a bit loose.

dave Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker I've bought Ebdon's highest break (currently 93) 5pts @ 100.72, small outlay for potentially big return, and he is quite capable of getting well over that mark.

Sir Puntalot Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Not sure about that one Dave, he's not been knocking in big breaks all the way through, just getting through with grit and determination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Murphy does have a tendency to play very aggressive safety shots though so if he makes mistakes there then the balls will be open. Not a certainty, but I'd rather be buying than selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullahoran Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Yep Murphy was outstanding he keeps playing like that well i cant see anyone stopping him. If does win i will probably hold the biggest ever odds for a Snooker tourmanent win though,you might think i should be ecastatic but if he does win in a way i will be disappointed because i should have won thousands on him instead of 100's but it is always easy in hindsight though before the touramanent i always thought he had a fair chance to get to the semi but in my heart of hearts i dint think he would win it. I got the odds months ago on Betfair when the bot was tgiving out odds when the book was going over the 100% mark. I got 500,410 + 400 but as you see only to pence and admittingly dint back him again till he was in 2 figure odds. It dosen't really matter who wins though as i have covered my bases though i will win more on Murphy. S. Murphy 400£0.07£27.93 Ref: 1002433514 Bet matched: 22:13 26-Mar-05 S. Murphy 410£0.07£28.63 Ref: 1002644765 Bet matched: 00:47 27-Mar-05 S. Murphy 500£0.18£89.82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Fantastic snooker by Murphy, he looks like a champion to be honest, its gonna have to be a very good performance by Ian or Matthew to be able to beat him in the final if he keeps up that form. Fancy Stevens tonight as I think his big match experiance will carry him through, not betting though as nothing could surprise me in this tournament anymore.

Norfolk Enchance Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Well done with Stevens Paul, lets hope he goes on to win it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Have to agree with Mullahoran, Murphy won't lose if reproducing that, but it is a very big ask to do just that. Stevens has the experience, but he must win it this time or he could begin to get the mental scars Jimmy has got at the WC. Murphy's fitness would be a worry for me. You have to be physically and mentally fit here, and I can't help feeling he might suffer in the final because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winbet Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Very hard to call for the final, will just have a few small fun bets off backing whoever falls behind in the final. Why is it though that whenever I hedge, you can gurantee my original selection would have come up trumps, and when I don't hedge then obviousely they don't. I guess it is just learning when & how much to hedge, which involves skill mixed in with bottle. I would say Murphy has been the most impressive player all throughout the tournament - you questioned me Paul when I called him as the value bet a week ago, but from what I saw in the early rounds it was a good call at 33/1, although obviousely would had been better had I go ton pre tournament. Ok he didn't have to play O'Sullivan which obviousely helped but a bit of luck when gambling never goes amiss. Murphy's weaknesses is his safety play (even his break offs) curb that then I am sure he will be ranked in the top 3 or 4 in the not too distant future. Stevens safety though hasn't been too hot either, so I don't think there will be too much in the way of safety exchanges in the final. and I haven't see Michael Holt since his exit last week, he is I guess treating himself to a holiday.

dave Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker I've just had a little look back at the matches that these 2 have played so far, and found an interesting statistic - it may or may not be of use. First frame of session or after mid-session interval Stevens 19/23 (82.61%) Murphy 13/22 (59.09%) Final frame of session or before mid-session interval Stevens 12/20 (60%) Murphy 15/19 (78.95%) Now, it may just be a coincidence, but those stats do suggest that Stevens is the much quicker starter, while Murphy plays his best after 2 or 3 frames. Definitely going to have some small bets on the frame by frame markets here. Going to take Stevens in frames 1 and 5, and Murphy in frames 4 and 8 for this afternoon's session.

Declan Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Afternoon everyone, my first post here so hope I don't make a fool of myself.. Was at the crcuible to see Stevens v Hendry and on the back of what I have seen throughout the 2 weeks I am on Stevens strongly, Murphy's saftey game is nowhere near strong enought to beat matthew over the best of 35, 18-12 18-13 sounds about right, quotes of 8/13 are still very generous and once Stevens leads he will not be caught..Be lucky.

dave Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Murphy won frames 1 and 4, so 1 out of 2, hopefully the 5th and 8th will go the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Very scrappy so far, but a superb black from Stevens showing nerves of steel to go 5-3. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Going to try the same thing for tonight's session. Stevens frames 9 and 13, Murphy frames 12 and 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker It's going to take an almighty effort from Murphy now he's 10-6 down, but watch out when Stevens gets about 14 frames on the board, the pressure will totally reverse then. We'll see what happens. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Just looking at some of the prices currently availble and i like the looks Murphy + 5 frames @ 8/11 in corals. Although stevens currently leads by 4 i think it will be alot closer going into the final session. Neither player played particualrly well yesterday and Stevens will have the fact that he lost 18-16 to williams in 2000 when he was leading 10-6 in the back of his mind, which could effect his play.

Tulenos Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Re: Embassy world snooker Well, sitting on the nice EW bet on Paul's selection (Stevens), but thinking better safe than sorry - have to admit I covered myself just in case Stevens loses it - now it looks like a massive payout on Stevens and some (nice) money if he loses (which would be won anyway, but wanted a bit more insurance). Well done Paul and lets hope Matt will make all.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
