Re: Snooker: World Championships - Early thoughts..

Sport	Snooker/Pool
Event	World Championship Outright
Selection	Mark Williams (1/2 odds 1-2) (Each-Way)
Strength	2/10
Date	01/05/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Blue Square @ 26.00 (Back)
Reasoning	Williams has himself gone on record earlier in the season and said "I can't be bothered practising." This would of course explain his early season form and slide down the provisional rankings. However, 25/1 now looks a very big price for this twice world champion on his recent form. I'm a little surprised that 25/1 is still available after his first round match in China, where he he hit 71 ,116 & 133 in 3 frames, which clearly shows he's in top form. He said about a month ago that he had to start practising hard now because his ranking was suffering, well he clearly has and that makes 25/1 an exceptional price.
