Championship League 2023

[Fader]

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

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
