charliepie Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Great bet on the ton-ups! Would love a Mark/Ronnie final. I'm with Yan too as Selby was poor, looks like it's going to be a 13-11 grueller as they are just in their 8th frame and it's after 6pm already!

charliepie Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 It's always struck me as laughable how they still stick to the same ridiculous system for replacing balls after a foul/miss where the two refs have to verbally communicate the positions of the balls. Isn't it so blatantly obvious that the job would be so much easier if thay just used a tablet device as it is purely a visual process without the need for the verbal to and froing(which also disturbs the players on the other table! The technology has existed for years, it's just so mind-numbingly frustrating! Rant over now! Judd should get past Ant fairly easily. Yan should also be 10-6 up but I'll take any lead I suppose. Robbo wins easily too but I'm hoping Noppon beats John, the new father effect perhaps? Foo_Fighter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo_Fighter Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Judd Trump after his win over Vafaei : "I think my cue action is one of the worst on tour". That's a rather shocking statement by Judd, wow. Worst? He could have said "unorthodox". Personally I won't be surprised if he wins his Quarter or even reach the final. We all know he's out of form and perhaps he's feeling mentally drained, but he certainly possesses all the skills required to taste the glory of ultimate success at the Crucible again.

I thought Wakelin played really well against Bingtao in the first session but despite Bingtao not scoring heavy, he scored consistently and I think if he gets ahead against Selby then he could come out the other end as the winner. He has won the last 3 head-to-heads against Selby and that shows you he isn't scared of Mark. Selby has beaten Jones 10-7 when Jones hasn't turned up atall. 4 50+ breaks isn't enough at this standard, with a top break of 60. I can see Bingtao winning. I could look very silly here taking him on the handicap, too. Follow at your own risk. 4pts Bingtao to beat Selby 5/4 paddypower 2pts Bingtao (-2.5 frames) to beat Selby 9/4 paddypower 2pts Bingtao to have 10+ 50+ breaks 3/1 paddypower Handicap aswell.

charliepie Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Excellent result for us there! One of those rare matches where Selby was ahead on every stat except the frame score. Judd is all over the place but I think he will beat Ant but as you say not the cert I thought it was going to be. He may even win his 1/4 final but no way can he win the title surely?! ?

Fader Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 lol, would highlight the quality around him, too. I’m going for one in the morning and it’s Kyren Wilson on the handicap to beat Bingham. I’m still not convinced that Bingham is in form right now and luckily for him, he had Haotian in the first round. Huge gulf of quality in difference here and Wilson came through a real hard test, in Ding. 4pts K.Wilson (-2.5 frames) to beat Bingham evens paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 You were lucky with the Yan handicap as Selby should have won at least another frame or two! Tomorrow's match could go either way but good luck with the -2.5! Fader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Judd's done well to be 10-6 up, Ant has probably blown his big chance of another good run. Jack might rue not being 10-6 up too, he probably would lose from there anyway as his head just can't cope when it gets near the finishing line. Robbo still wins this one for me! Kyren was shocking this morning but only 2 frames adrift. Noppon not scoring but lucked his way to a 4-4 session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 John looking very sharp, he's going to kill this match off tonight probably 11-5 overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Ooh, you're a lucky chap, Ballrun could have been 10-6 up but it's nicely balanced at 8-8. Shame Kyren bottled the 147 attempt, I think someone might hit one this year, pockets are playing fairly generously. Fader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foo_Fighter Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It's hard to imagine Neil Robertson getting eliminated by Lisowski...I suspect a nice comeback win. Do you? @charliepie @Fader @Torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Evening play just starting now, I would love Jack to win but I'm not sure he can keep his head together despite having Ebdon as his coach. I think Neil wins 13-11. Remember he beat Higgins from 9-4 down recently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Lisowski about to go 10-7. I wouldn't have expected that before the match started, but Robertson has missed a lot. You'd think Lisowski should win from here, but then Robertson does love a comeback. I'll stick my neck out now though and say I think Lisowksi takes this. Robertson can't carry on overturning deficits and his form here in recent years is poor, he's complained about the two-table set-up previously - although he's said he's over that now - but the excuses for losing are there. Lisowski has played well and just needs to keep it up which is a tough ask but I reckon this time he converts a lead into a win in a big match at a big tournament.

Torque Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) After that last frame I've changed my mind Should have been 11-7 but Lisowski missed a black he shouldn't have missed and then butchered an easy safety to hand Robertson the frame. Robertson in now as well so probably 10-9 Lisowski coming up and from there I'd say Lisowski has no chance.

charliepie Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I was liking the new Jack ver. 2.0 but then old Jack came back as expected! What a miss on that black, fully expect him to roll over and capitulate once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Wish I'd bet on a 147 being made after I flagged it up previously, everyone was going for them and the tables were playing looser than usual. Even the lowest ranked player left, Noppon got 14 reds/blacks this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Credit where it's due. As scrappy as that final frame was, Lisowski gets over the line. Much harder for him to have done it than for Robertson. So strange to see Robertson miss so much at crucial times after the amount of times he's been sublime when chasing deficits this season - particularly against Higgins when he was 8-3 down in a best of 19 IIRC.

charliepie Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Delighted he's finally won a big match against the tournament fave. Hope he can keep it going against John. I'm rooting for a Mark/Ronnie final but would be magic to have Judd vs Jack however fantastical that idea might be! We'll probably end up with a Yan/Maguire final?

Do you? @charliepie @Fader @Torque Have to admit, I am quite suprised. If you said to me a deciding frame, who wins? I would say like 80% Robbo but I don't know what it is, but Robertson just doesn't have the same aura here. It's so odd.

Fader Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 I'm interested to see if Williams keeps his level up because if he does then he makes the final, surely? If Bingham plays as good as he did, in spells, against Wilson then he should be able to beat Trump, too. I think Higgins beats Lisowski. No value in the bet but it's evens that he wins the first session and so I'll have some of that. 4pts Higgins to win first session against Lisowski evens paddypower 1pt treble - Higgins first session, Bingham and Williams 10/1 paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 I'll go for centuries again in the WIlliams/Bingtao match. Williams hit 6 against Page and 4 against White and that's dropping just 3 frames in each match. He has a higher level against him today. Bingtao hit 3 himself against Selby and 2 against Wakelin. You would have to expect them to have 3 each. 4pts Williams to make 4+ centuries 5/2 paddypower 2pts Both players to make 3+ centuries 11/2 paddypower vikki37, harry_rag, Foo_Fighter and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
