Fader Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I'm patiently waiting for the real snooker and the start of the new season and have largely ignored this Championship League but now we're getting close to finishing the first stage, it's abit easier to get an idea of the final 8 (my opinion) I actually think we'll see a standard K.Wilson / Trump or Williams final but the value is most certainly in the first section which in my opinion would house these 4 (winner goes to the final) : Guodong Saengkham K.Wilson M.White / Long Zehaung With this in mind I'll take a bet on both Guodong and Saengkham. Tiny bet on big outsider Long, who beat Ali Carter and topped his group in the first round. 1pt e/w Saengkham to win Championship League 20/1 William Hill 1pt e/w Guodong to win Championship League 22/1 William Hill ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.25pts e/w Long Zehaung to win Championship League 80/1 Bet365 vikki37 and GhostLetter 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 The start of the 2nd stage today and Group E, comprising of Kyren Wilson, Chris Wakelin, Anthony Hamilton & Sam Lam. Despite being 4/6, I just can't see past Kyren winning this group. 4 centuries already in this and topping his group with 3 wins from 3 and conceding just 1 frame. Might not be fantastic odds but I can't see past it. 6pts K.Wilson to win Group E 4/6 Willhill vikki37 and amity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amity Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Wakelin chose yesterday to put in one of his brilliant spells. No doubt he'll revert to his normal mediocre standard after this! ThunderDan9 and Fader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he'll revert to his normal mediocre standard after this! It's mad isn't it. The ONLY positive is that he is now in the group where my outright are and Saengkham got through today. So, in effect, to make the final we're looking at : Wakelin Saengkahm Winner of (Jak Jones/Craigie/M.White/Long) Winner of (Yuelong/Guodong/Woollaston/Holt) that's one open group. Winner of it is in the final. Yes, they'll play Trump or Mark Williams but each-way placing as a minimum. amity and vikki37 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Group A and D today. I was tempted to go with Un Nooh on the outright market but he isn't in the right stage 3 table (if he makes it through) and he'd have to beat Williams and Trump to a top place. However, I reckon he has a chance today and I am also going with Guodong to top his group. Group A winner - Guodong 2/1 WillHill Group D winner - Un Nooh 14/5 Willhill vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Guodong through, topping the group for a 2/1 winner thanks to his high break all of a sudden now, Mark Williams is in the other winners group, on Wikipedia. God knows what has happened there. I never should have relied on correct info on Wiki vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 I've had a look at the right site (Wikipedia, never again) and it's : Guodong Murphy Wakelin Milkins Yupeng Seangkham M.Williams Craigie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 No Trump, which helps any outright bet you may have. If I had to pick the finalist then I'd probably say Murphy taking on Mark Williams but more than happy with having one in each half and both with a decent chance of making the final. Yupeng certainly value at 11/2 to win from here, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Yupeng is now 13/2 today so that's big enough for me 2pts Yupeng to win Championship League 13/2 Bet365 vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Saengkham bottled it. Needed only a draw to make the final. Gets to 1-1 and loses 2 in a row. Boring expected final of Murphy/Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
