Fader Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Ronnie O'Sullivan has won the Shanghai Masters for the last 4 consecutive times. He's made no secret to the fact that he prefers to play out in China, where he treated like royalty and his results show that. Not to mention the extra money that he receives. However, I can't be having him at 3/1 and he's up against a tricky first round opponent (likely Anda) I wonder how Allen will come back this season after absolutely bottling the Worlds match against John Higgins and he's in the bottom half of the draw where he could potentially play John in the Semi-Finals. I'm going with Allen in the bottom half and in the top half I'll take a chance on the winner of Ding and Carter. 2pts M.Allen 10/1 WillHill ---------------------------------------------- 1pt e/w Ding 18/1 Bet365 1pt e/w Carter 33/1 WillHill ThunderDan9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Good to see Carter get straight into it with a 6-0 win. I'm going with 2 for the rest of the matches today. I think Higgins will have a good tournament this week. I was tempted to even have him up as an outright pick but I think Allen will be inspired after the Worlds. I also think Hawkins isn't playing well enough to be 8/13 and in China, Yuelong may have the opportunity to win this one 2.5pts Higgins -2.5 to beat Hoatian 6/5 Paddypower 2pts Yuelong to beat Hawkins 5/4 Paddypower ElPrincipito007 and ThunderDan9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Higgins wins easily 6-1. Yuelong went 4-1 against Hawkins and looks like he is determined to throw it away as it's now looking like 5-4 Hawkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 scrap that, Yueong nicks it for 5-4. One frame needed now. Both winners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 glad to see that the good matches are at 12:30 tomorrow (UK time) Ding V Carter and Trump v Williams. I'm tempted to go with Gary Wilson to beat Junxu but I think the price is probably about right The one I will take is Jiahui to beat Brecel. The semi-final of the Worlds was the last time they played and Jiahui led 14-5 at one point in that one (losing 17-15) If we add to that, that Jiahui is in China and Brecel has to travel and climatise (whilst Jiahui has already won a match) and also the fact that Brecel has not played in 3 months. 2.5pts Jiahui to beat Brecel 6/5 Bet365 ThunderDan9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 little attempt at a 5-fold with Paddy (money back if one loses) 1pt 5-fold - G.Wilson, Jiahui, Carter, Jak Jones and Mark Wiliams 19/1 Paddypower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Jiahui with a solid win over Brecel. Just the one bet for tomorrow and it's Higgins to beat Murphy. Higgins looked really good in the last round, winning 6-1. He hit 2 centuries and 3 50+ breaks in that match. We've not seen Murphy yet. We saw with Brecel that it can take a bit of time to get into things. Since the Worlds, where Murphy got to the Last 16, Murphy has had a decent Championship league this season but Higgins has won 4 of the last 6 and I think he has an advantage, having played already here. 2.5pts Higgins to beat Murphy 4/5 Paddypower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 no joy with Higgins. Murphy is playing some really good stuff again. He was 22/1 to win the UK Championship last night. Anyway, no bet for today but hoping Ding can beat Ronnie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 Ding needs about 5 chances in every frame. Ronnie isn't even having to play well chris666 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris666 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Would love to see Judd beat Ronnie, and it's not out of the realms of possibility, but I think Ronnie will turn on a show today, so in saying that Ron to win by -1.5 @1.90 at 365 Good luck all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 I watched Ronnie couple times and he didn’t look that good to be fair so could be an element of that, also. Murphy looks very good right now so that should be a close final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
