Fader Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Jiahui hit 1 century against Mertens (and a 98). He then hit 2 centuries in his final Q match. Williams hit 2 centuries in his final win over Ronnie and 3 in the semi-final win over Allen. I can't see Williams hitting less than 2 and I think both hitting 2 is a good shout. 5pts M.Williams over 1.5 centuries 4/5 Bet365 2pts both players to hit over 1.5 centuries (Williams v Jiahui) 7/2 Paddypower vikki37 and four-leaf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 last 3 years Lisowski has reached Last 16, QF, Last 16 at the Worlds. Ding has gone out at the 1st round for the last 3 years running. Interesting match but I think the value is with Jack charliepie, amity and four-leaf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Definitely a record year for the qualifiers this year, Pang should have won too but Si produced a wonder break to beat Willo. Dave Gilbert must have a great chance to reach the 1/4's again and maybe even further. Fader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Think I’m going with the centuries in the Ronnie match. End of the day we’ll either get the Ronnie who smashes it and hits multiple centuries or the one that just hits it about and then Page may chip in. 4pts 4 or more centuries 11/8 Skybet 2pts both to hit 2+ centuries 6/1 Paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 47 minutes ago, Fader said: Is it too early to say that page is bottling it? No. Complete bottle job. He's missed almost everything he's played and he's had chances in every frame. And 4-0 down. If it's not a bottle job then I don't know what is. It makes me wonder what's gone through his head - beaten before the first break-off. Surely what you do is remind yourself of some of Ronnie's poor first matches down the years and then that gives you the confidence to believe you can give him a match. The first thing I'd have done is shown Page the O'Sullivan - Cahill match where Cahill won and then from there the mindset should have been if Cahill can do then so can I. charliepie and Fader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Finally he's on the board and the break of 142 and the way he compiled it just confirms he was bottling it before. If he'd played like that from the start then we'd have a match. As it is it's game over. O'Sullivan isn't losing from 6-1 up. amity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Ronnie looks like he's taking it seriously this year so hopefully will have a good run and maybe bag his eighth title. Si or Jackpot in the 1/4's then Trump in the semis and Maguire/Wilson/Allen in the final? Fader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy might go on a run either, I'd make him slight favourite against Maguire, and I wouldn't rule out a run right the way to the final if he keeps his head together.

Maguire is flaky as anything and is liable to have a sulk at some point if things aren't going his way. Fader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 I'm going to take a bet on the 3 favs over the next couple of days. I think Jak Jones looked quite nervous in his last match and I think Jiahui will improve going forward, too. As I said above, I think Murphy beats Maguire without too much fuss and Lisowski beat Ding, who played some great stuff. Ding hit 2 centuries and 7 50+ breaks and he still got the better of him. I think he'll beat Bingham. 2pts Jiahui, Murphy and Lisowski 5/2 Paddypower vikki37 and amity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 I've already taken Gilbert on a handicap against Milkins but I'm surprised that the -3.5 is on offer at 4/5. He is already -1.5 and Milkins was lucky to go 5-3 instead of 6-2 when he tried a double and everything worked out for him, with reds on the cushions. Milkins was awful yesterday and far too attacking. I can see Gilbert extending his lead. 5pts Gilbert (-3.5) to beat Milkins 4/5 Bet365 charliepie and vikki37 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say that he hasn't been working as hard this year and he's had issues with drinking in the past. Who knows what is going on behind closed doors. Guy never looks happy, to me.

charliepie Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Painful watching, how did he beat Willo last round? Jak should have gone 9-3 up which would probably have been match over but somehow it's finished 9-7 overnight. Anything could happen tomorrow if the standard continues like this.

charliepie Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Maguire really doesn't like Murphy so he'll have to play no-miss snooker to claw back from 6-10 down. Trump has got an easy bye to the semis where surely Ronnie awaits. In the top half I'd like Dave to play John again in the semis and avenge his 17-16 loss from a few years back!

chris666 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 What's happened to Ronnie? Started off great but Ryan has clawed him back, good on him, though can he maintain this? Took Ronnie at -5.5, but may be closer than I expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 He could easily pull away from 5-3, the middle session could be decisive. Jackpot's been awful, should be 9-7 up but again all is not lost and he could make a comeback. I hope Joe makes a match of it tonight against the in-form Kyren.

Fader Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 I only really have Allen left in my bets but would like to see Gilbert Allen. I think Trump beats Ronnie based on what we've seen in the bottom half. four-leaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
