Fader Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 This got started yesterday. Not too many matches have appealled so far and the quality is somewhat lacking but there are a couple tonight that I like the look of. Here is the evening session : Burden Vs N. Robertson Murphy Vs Saengkham Mann Vs Un-Nooh Vafaei Vs McGill Higginson Vs Maflin Jak Jones Vs Trump The 3 I like are Saengkham, Vafaei and Higginson. Much of the Saengkham liking is the form of Shaun Murphy. He's still winning games and he hit a period of good play at the Northern Ireland Open, with a Quarter Final spot and a L16 spot at the German Masters but losing to the likes of Patrick and Jiahui, it's showing a lack of consistency. I think Saengkham is a decent price. Vafaei takes on McGill and whilst it's been a couple of close matches, Vafaei has won the last 2 head-to-heads. Vafaei is having a real good season. He's made the L16 of the English Open and the UK Championship and then won the Shootout. I think his form is worth backing over McGills, who is playing decent stuff but I'd favour Vafaei. Finally I'll take Higginson to beat Maflin. After a poor start to the season, a L16 Shootout spot has reignited Higginson. He has beaten Vafaei recently and looked very good in the 5-0 thrashing of O'Neill. 5pts Vafaei to beat McGill 11/10 bet365 4pts Higginson to beat Maflin 6/4 betfair 4pts Saengkham to beat Murphy 13/8 bet365 Foo_Fighter, ElPrincipito007, vikki37 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Thanks for your thoughts, a close one with Higginson losing the final frame. Good job opposing Murphy! Fader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Yeah, 4-3 up, Higginson. Loses 5-4. What can you do? I thought Vafaei was awful. I watched that match. McGill played well but Vafaei was oddly poor. I will go with 2 today in the afternoon session. Jordan Brown to beat Dott is the first one. Brown has already beaten Selby in this event and thrahed Guodong 5-0. He only scored 2 50+ breaks in that 5-0 win but he didn't really need any more than that. Against Selby he scored a century and 2 50+ breaks, too. Dott has won a couple of deciding legs against Yuelong and Mark Davis. H2H shows Brown winning the last match and it could be a close match but I fancy Brown to see it through. The other one I like at bigger prices is Zhengyi to beat Bingtao. Zhengyi is trolling me hard at the moment. I think he is playing some great stuff and he loses the first time I back him and then follows it up by beating Kyren Wilson when I don't back him. 4/1 is a big price for him to beat Bingtao. 5pts Brown to beat Dott 11/10 bet365 2pt Zhengyi to beat Bingtao 4/1 bet365 vikki37 and Simeon Borisof 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Finally he delivers for you! Pang played great as well to beat Robbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Yeah, I was looking to lay robbo but I just didn’t fancy pang but fair play. Wide open tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepie Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Maflin/Macgill on table one, lol. Shows how many shocks there have been so far. Fader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 I give Fan his chances today and I think the +2.5 handicap is plenty enough to take the 8/11 on offer. I think the evening match between McGill and Wenbo should be high scoring galore as Wenbo has hit a century in 3 of his last 3 matches and holds the 2nd highest break of the tournament and McGill has also hit 3 centuries. I think it's worth taking the 6/4 on offer for no player to win 3 frames in a row. It's a "first to 5" so I think there's value in that. I was tempted too by Wenbo hitting the highest break but I'll stick with this. 5.5pts Zhengyi (+2.5 frames) to beat Gilbert 8/11 bet365 4pts Either player to win 3 frames in a row? NO! (McGill Vs Wenbo) 6/4 bet365 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1pt 4-fold- Zhengyi (+2.5 frames) / Ronnie (-2.5 frames) / Dott / Either player to win 3 in a row (McGill V Wenbo) 16.5/1 bet365 Simeon Borisof, vikki37 and ElPrincipito007 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElPrincipito007 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I was brave enough to take Fan Zhengyi to win @3,5 after your comments here ? I think his odds against Dott are also a bit too high, but I couldn’t see his match against Gilbert were he was choking a bit?

888888 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 yesterday Day against Dott was shockingly bad, then Dott also was very very average; even the eurosport commentator was saying how a low level match it is; of course it doesn't mean that today Dott will also be that bad; but yesterday they both looked like ranked 80th or 90th players.

Fader Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 We'll likely see a better Dott today but you're right, a very poor performance and based on that and how well Fan has played, he is worth following today. He's beaten Kyren Wilson, Gilbert and Bingtao in this tournament and whilst I think he is feeling it abit, hopefully he can score well and take a big lead like last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Good luck to Fan tonight, he's done well so far to be 4-4 though he really should have had a lead going into tonight! Nigwilliam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Ronnie was below par but well done to the new kid on the block! I didn't think he could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 absolutely brilliant. The Chinese are really taking over recently. Fully deserved and has beaten Ronnie, Selby, K.Wilson, Gilbert and Dott. I had a little each-way bet on him after the Kyren Wilson win so he's made my day Next tournament in like 11 hrs Nigwilliam and vikki37 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
