Fader Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 This gets underway tonight. I'm taking 3 big prices in this one because it's quite simply where the value lies, in my eyes. 1pt e/w Van Veen 40/1 WillHill 0.5ps e/w Doets 100/1 WillHill 0.5pts e/w Wattimena 150/1 Paddypower ThunderDan9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderDan9 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Absolutely, Van Veen was my very first instinct... In the previous edition of the tournament the dutch (and belgian, LOL) players dominated, so to speak... let's hope for a similar scenario... it's funny to think back: Van Veen was actually the FAVORITE against Littler in the youth final, and he was a shorter price in the outright market in the worlds too... now Littler is 4,5, while Van Veen is 40. So I'm trying it too, especially as Michael Smith could be beatable in the first round, if Van Veen is in form.

I know Littler is obviously special but Van Veen has levels too and we haven’t seen Smith play well since his Worlds win really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 that's Doets through. Beating Wright easily. Let's hope for a full house of all 3 going through. vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Littler looking likely to win back to back tournaments. Anybody else bored of him already? lol hoping Van Veen beats MVG and then a littler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 It’s pretty obvious by this semi final standard that whoever wins it, loses in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didn't bet on Littler now (was doing housework!(😆 ThunderDan9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderDan9 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Those three (Humphries, Littler, MVG) seem to stand out right now... the draw should be important in future tournaments, as whoever of these three has a "clear" bracket to the finals would be in advantage compared to the other two. Or am I overthinking it, lol. amity and Fader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
