Champion of Champions

[Mullahoran]

Time for a bit of snooker.

I am backing Stuart Bingham to beat Ding at evens tonight with a little also on Bingham giving up -1.5 on the handicaps at 6/4 also.

Bingham has been one of the form players of the year reaching semi's and finals like last week where it took an inspired John Higgins with 3 centuries in the last 3 frame to stop Bingham winning the China championship..

Was a little wary as I fancied him to beat Neil Robertson but dint know if the travelling and jet lag would effect him.  But his performance today  was excellent .

And Ding won a scrappy match that Ali Carter will be disappointed that he dint win.

Bingham also has a very good record v Ding winning the last 7 matches back to 2011 though Ding did win their last match but it was only in 6 reds world champs.

I see no reason why Bingham cant win tonight as the outsider.

@MullahoranI was watching Bingham against Higgins in the final last week and as an ex player I can tell you, he was almost playing "too well". As crazy as that sounds, you can be "cueing like an angel" as we used to call it, but it seems only Ronnie can be in that mode and not slip out of it. Losing that match was probably ok for him, and from what I saw he is going to be a big player for the rest of the season, so I'd have to agree with your bet. Higgins also flew out of his box knocking in 3 tons to finish that final off, not much you can do about that.
