Fader Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 that's mad. Must have been some serious fouls in that one. One I like for this afternoon is Hang to beat Murphy. Murphy has been poor over the last month or so. Lost to Jiahai and had a little paddy fit about it and how amateurs shouldn't get into these tournaments and then he struggled big time against lady player Ng Yee. 3-1 down and won 4-3. He says now that he has an injury. I'm not sure if that's true or not but either way, I think Hang is value to win and even on the -1.5 handicap 4pts Hang to beat Murphy 2/1 paddypower 2pts Hang (-1.5 frames) to beat Murphy 5/2 paddypower vikki37, ElPrincipito007, Simeon Borisof and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had the chance to watch too much but will go with one more later and it's Higgins to beat Gilbert. I won't go over the same old stuff but after such a big win for Gilbert against Trump, I expect the level to drop alitle and I think Higgins will be well up for this one. Higgins has won the last 6 in a row between the two and has won by -1.5 legs in 5 of the 6. All 6 were in the last 2 years. 5pts Higgins -1.5 frames to beat Gilbert evens paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even necessarily say that Gilbert played at that high a level against Trump, and he suggested as much in an interview afterwards. It should be Higgins v Trump and it would have been if Trump had been able to seal Gilbert's collapse from 3-0 ahead, but he choked with a miss on the final green that you have to see to believe. If it wasn't a choke, the only other explanation I can think of is that he was thinking too much about position on the brown so that he forgot to make sure about the green. After that, Gilbert had work to do and credit to him for being able to pick himself up and clear. The blue he potted was high tariff and worthy of winning the match. four-leaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-leaf Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 @Torque I had Trump in-play to turn around and win from 3-2 down but had to Cash out quickly when Trump failed to rack up more than 48 points in the final frame as he stopped at 52-53 with a foul by Gilbert. I still got a win by 2x the stake. But Higgins is gonna roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Good decision @four-leaf I must admit I'm starting to form the opinion that Trump can't be trusted when the pressure is on. He has a great winning record in the best of 7 format, but I wonder how many of those wins were achieved via a decider. He seems to be great when he has a lead and is at the table when a frame is won, knocking in exhibition shots from all over the table, but when missing counts he does seem to miss more than his fair share. The green that I mentioned for example, I don't think he misses that if it's the first frame of the match or if he's 3-0 up. In fact, he probably smashes it into the back of the pocket and gets position on the brown after going all the way around the table. Definitely something to consider in his matches going forward, because he's always going to be the favourite in a deciding frame and an even bigger favourite if he gets in and looks like winning. He was something like 1.06 standing over that green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means you're probably right. Not seen asmuch Snooker as i normally would recently. Higgins has really been knocking on the door recently and I would fancy him to win this event from here either way but the head-to-heads scream Higgins, too.

Torque Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Not over yet. 3-1 and he's right back in it. Gilbert nearly blew 3-0 against Trump and Trump wasn't even playing that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 4-3 Higgins. Gilbert missing blacks off the spot like last night against Trump. His body language doesn't look good, almost like he's resigned to his fate. In fairness though, he looked the same last night although he was fortunate that Trump let him off. I don't think Higgins will be so charitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 I will also take Brecel to make the final. He beat McGill only last week with ease and it makes me wonder if that will be in McGill's mind. McGill has won 2 deciding legs and a close 6-4 in his last three matches but Maguire just didn't turn up and McGill still made it hard. 6pts Brecel to beat McGill 5/6 paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hey all I placed an in-play bet on Ronnie to win frame 4 by at least 9 points or more at evens with Betfair, all-in to. I can laugh all the way to the bank now LOLÂ Higgins misses the easy black in the middle after racking up 44 points to nothing and Ronnie clears the table just to lose 6-1 HAHAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
