ZuluWarrior Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Yea, I can't see anything in the Semi's market at all, lets hope Fu's pumped up and wins a couple out of the gate this morning before Ebdon takes over and slows the game to a crawl, that should drop the in-running a bit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Pity Williams couldn't beat O'Sullivan @ 2.9:(, but at least O'Sullivan won the highest break @ 1.42:D and Ebdon beat Murphy @ 2.48:D. Doesn't seem to be much for me in the semis....maybe some in-running bets will prove tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Am I missing something important other than the fact that Ebdon odds-wise is expected to win so therefore is expected to have more chances at the high break for the match? From the BBC site. Centuries so far: Ebdon 3, Fu 6 Also 4 of Fu's 6 are bigger than Ebdons best. Odds on Betfair: Ebdon 1.83, Fu 2.12 ? I'm thinking Fu is a bet given the above. Any opinions?

Cosmetic Bob Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships 7-1 with Fu for the Outright is now good price IMO in what is effectively a four horserace. He beat Doherty and I fancy him to beat Edbon. O'Sullivan said after his match in interview last night that he thinks he has the lowest self confidence of the four remaining players.

Cosmetic Bob Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships O'Sullivan has just conceded last two frames even though he needs only one snooker, his mind is not on the job i don't think and that terrible shot when he tried to go for the brown with just colours left. His given up I say 15-8 down now :lol :lol :lol I can't believe what i'm seeing here, Dott is destroying him..ohwell my bet looks good even though I predicted it all wrong :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereoman Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Far too late for a sensible comment now but wow, Ronnie doesn't seem likely to give a fcuk for some reason. :\ EDIT: As of right now on Betfair, the odds to win the WC are now: Edbon 1.7, Dott 2.6, Fu 60 and O'Sullivan 65 Anybody back Ebdon before the Championships started? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Probably the craziest session of snooker I have ever seen, I would have honestly backed myself to beat O Sullivan there :eek He was pathetic to be honest, how can you look so good one game then look like a Division 8 pub pool player the next game? Dott hasnt actually played that well has he? He has missed pots to leave Ronnie in the balls 4-5 times and he has beat him 8-0 :unsure This is Ebbos for the taking now.

davidmphill Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships A shocking effort from thr Rocket today. His head was fcuked yesterday and today he wasn't interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevshat Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships I'm amazed. I honestly didn't think the rocket could ever play that badly, even when he's not played well in the past he still doesn't miss easy balls but today he missed god knows how many easy balls. Dott made 3 50+ breaks in the session and won it 8-0! Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabell Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships What would you do in my situation, I backed ebdon at 36 at the start of the tournament, amazingly I also had a small bet on dott at 80's but closed this out at the start of the ronnie match! DOH! Anyway, now that Ebdon is down to 1.7 do you think I should close out for a healthy profit, and enjoy the final? OR let it run...I didnt see this mornings session, and im not sure what to do.

premierblade Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships i'm in the same situation as you Mabell i wont post my bets as i didn't before the start of the tourney but looking at the scores i would be confident enough of letting them run through to the final. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlehead Ned Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Id lay it off mabel, i remember having a 50/1 shot about to come in once and i laid it, of course it won anyway, but still you dont want to let the chance of guananteed money slip thru your fingers after it got this far.

mowgli77 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships If he was at the top of his game no-one would beat Ronnie, he always beats himself. Last year his head went against Ebdon and this year is the same against Dott. It's sad to see him like that because he is a genius and snooker needs players like him. I can see him winning a few frames in a row tonight but Dott is bound to win one frame eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevshat Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships It's got the makings of a close final, but for the good of snooker and the honour and prestige of the World Championship I hope Ebdon wins it, I don't think it's right for the 1st tournament a player wins to be the World Championship. Murphy did it last year and it would be nice for an established and proven tournament winner to win it this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Intensity Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Knew I should have been more aggressive on Ebdon rather than just taking him to win the 1st quarter:eyes. He really should win this final, however, just like in the semi, I don't think the best price of 1.57ish is that good. I feel that Dott will get off to a good start (like 2 years ago but maybe not so spectacularly!) so I'll wait to see if there's a decent price about Ebdon after the first session.

DC Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Current bets: Hendry @ 11 (9pts) OUT!! Williams @ 18 (6pts) OUT!! Doherty @ 23 (5pts) OUT!! Ebdon @ 36 (3pts) currently 1.57 Wattanna @ 210 (2pts) OUT!! Stephen Lee @ 44 (3pts) OUT!! Going back through the predictor posts on pages 4 and 5, including myself, MrIntensity, Davidmphill and 2damnhype all had Ebdon down to reach the semi-finals and Paul Ross had him to get to the quarters. Time to lay off and secure a profit now that he's reached the final- it's not going to be the best final in the world but I don't really care! Thanks guys and well played Ebdon! :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
