Snooker: Welsh Open

[kevshat]

After the Masters ended yesterday the Welsh Open is next up on the snooker schedule. The tournament itself doesn't begin until Monday but the qualifiers begin tomorrow and they usually get priced up. More bookies price up the nearer we get to the main event itself so there could be some betting potential so it's worth starting the thread early, even if it's a bit quiet to begin with. The actual tournament itself is on BBC Wales (Sky channel 991) or Eurosport. No outright prices are out yet but I'll update this post with the prices or a link to the prices when they are out.

Re: Snooker: Welsh Open Going to go with a small double over Tuesday's matches. 3pts M.Selt to beat D.Gray & M.White to beat X.Guodong 2.36 Sportingbet I quite like this double on the opening day of qualifying. If we excuse Selt's 1st qualifying round defeat at the Masters then neither of these two players have lost in this round in any of the qualifiers this season. Even Selt's defeat at the Masters was to someone who ended up in the semi finals of the qualifying tournament so that was no bad loss. Matthew Selt has made 2 main events having qualified for the Shanghai Masters and the Grand Prix. Michael White is having a decent season at Prestatyn as well and made the final qualifying round of the UK Championships, beating Jamie Burnett along the way. Selt beat Gray in the UK qualifiers so he's got recent form on him and Guodong has only won 1 match since the Shanghai qualifiers so I like this double which pays just shy of 11/8.
