Fader Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Straight into this. After Jordan Brown wins his first ranking event, it means he makes this Players Championship that gets underway in the morning. Just 16 players in this event. Mostly the cream of the crop. I'll take one from the top and one from the bottom. My main bet is Mark Selby. He sits in the bottom half and faces Mark Williams first up. He would then face the winner out of Higgins/Brown and a potential out-of-form Neil Robertson. I'm not sure how much practicing Robbo has had, because his eye looked pretty closed up, last time I saw him, on Twitter. (Son blacked his eye with a toy) In the top half, I will keep faith with Yuelong. I'm not too keen on taking anybody else up there. I'll have a little half point on Jordan Brown as an outsider. Not because I think he has a chance in hell of winning but more for cover against Selby in round 2, if he beats Higgins 2pts M.Selby to win Players Championship 7/1 paddypower 1pt E/W Z.Yuelong to win Players Championship 40/1 paddypower 0.5pts E/W J.Brown to win Players Championship 66/1 paddypower kroni and vikki37 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'm going to go with it being close between Day and Kyren Wilson tonight. I'm not sure Kyren is in best of form and Day has looked decent for a while now. I can see this being a close one and so it's worth having a point cover for Wilson to edge it on a decider, also. 2.5pts Over 9.5 frames - K.Wilson Vs R.Day 6/5 paddypower 1pt K.Wilson to beat R.Day 6-5 6/1 paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 No joy lastnight. Day started alright but couldn't string 20 together. Judd Trump goes out, which helps the outrights I honestly think you could argue that all four underdogs have a chance today : Lisowski Vs Gould N.Robertson Vs Ning O'Sullivan Vs Ding Yuelong Vs Hawkins Although you would expect Robbo to come through, he does have a question mark over him, for form. He has lost to some lower quality players recently and isn't match sharp. I can't see Ronnie being up for it. Gould and Lisowski is always a close match and Yuelong Vs Hawkins isn't much more than a 50/50. I'll take a chance on Gould and Yuelong and a very speculative accy. 2.5pts Yuelong to beat Hawkins 11/10 bet365 2.5pts Gould to beat Lisowski 13/10 bet365 0.5pt accy - Gould, Ning, Ding, Yuelong 75/1 bet365 vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Didn't get much luck today but Robbo looked awesome and will take some stopping this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yeah, Yuelong really frustrates me. I think I will take Selby on the handicap today. Selby was the only person to really put Brown in a position last week, where it was in his own hands. A missed black in the middle pocket. If he got that, we could easily be speaking about Selby winning the event. I fancy him to do well this week. 4pts M.Selby -2.5 frames to beat M.Williams 5/4 paddypower Players tips -9pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 isn't it always the way, you go -2.5 and the player wins -1.5. Atleast Selby got through. Two matches today. Robertson takes on Kyren Wilson and tonight Lisowski takes on Ronnie. I think Lisowski has a chance tonight. I didn't think Ronnie would be that up for this and he didn't look it against Ding. If Jack plays like he has been, then he has every chance. I'll take Robertson to hit the highest break in the 1pm match. I also think it's worth taking the 5/1 on him winning with most centuries. Hoping for him to pot the first ball. The only downside to the bet. 7pts N.Robertson (highest break) Vs K.Wilson 4/7 bet365 1.5pts N.Robertson to pot the first ball, most century breaks and win 5/1 paddypower 2pts J.Lisowski to beat R.O'Sullivan 11/4 boylesports vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Robbo looks to be a shadow of what he was in round 1, 3-1 down at the moment. I do like the Lisowski bet though and will be having some of that for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo_Fighter Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Lisowski to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan???Not even a remote chance. There's a deep chasm between the two players, an abyss. Watch how he's gonna get destroyed by Ronnie. (2-6 or 1-6 the most probable scores.. 3-6 tops). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Sure Ronnie is fave with 2-0 h2h and for Jack it is hard to play his idol but Ronnie has lost to players with half Jack's talent so 11/4 is about the right price. Jack will beat Ron one day and tonight might well be the night! A lot depends on which Ronnie turns up as always... Torque 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, in my opinion there is a profound difference in quality between the two players... Okay, prior to this match, Lisowski might have had a 5-10 percent chance of pulling off the upset, which isn’t exactly a zero percent chance. In fact, that’s roughly the same odds that it's raining in downtown LA (read this on FiveThirtyEight lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hawkins takes on Ronnie tonight, to see who will be the first finalist. Higgins takes on Selby first, though, to see whom will face Kyren Wilson in the other Semi-final. Higgins played some really good stuff against Jordan Brown, but after a big first win for Brown, it was only going to go one way, I suppose. I think Selby wins this and I've been looking for an angle to have a bet. I think Higgins could perhaps make the highest break (based on recent form) but I fell for that trap in the Robbo match. I'm keeping it simple here and going for a double on the day. Selby and Ronnie. Hawkins beat Ronnie in the last head-to-head but I still see him coming through this with a few to spare. Yuelong should be here against Ronnie really! 3pts M.Selby & R.O'Sullivan both to win 2/1 paddypower 1pt Selby/Higgins both to hit two centuries 14/1 paddypower Players Champs bets -19.5pts vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree less. Higgins is one of the finest snooker players of all time, and one of the most decorated. He said after the match that this performance was his greatest ever. Having watched the match in it's entirety, I can see why he said that. Selby stood little or no chance. No player would have lived with Higgins on that form and for that reason, I have backed Higgins to beat Wilson and then Ronnie in the final at 4/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 In my opinion, Shelby still has to play bad to lose 6-0 and pot just 7points. with that mind, I’m going to take Higgins to bear Kyren tonight. It was a good performance from Higgins and part of me thinks the beating of Robertson, from Robertson, was masked by a poor performance from Lu Ning prior. 5pts J.Higgins to beat K.Wilson 4/5 Betfair Foo_Fighter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
