Chapman Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Re: Snooker: World Championships Starts in a few weeks, who's peoples picks? Ive backed Shaun Murphy at 9/1. You can get 14/1 on Murphy at Betfair, quite a difference. ;) Here is the 1st Round draw with the Championship running from 17th April - 3rd May, if anyone knows the bracket for the draw it would be helpful. :ok John Higgins v Barry Hawkins Mark King v Steve Davis Neil Robertson v Fergal O'Brien Marco Fu v Martin Gould Ali Carter v Jamie Cope Joe Perry v Michael Holt Ding Junhui v Stuart Pettman Shaun Murphy v Gerrard Greene Stephen Maguire v Stephen Lee Peter Ebdon v Graeme Dott Mark Allen v Tom Ford Ryan Day v Mark Davis Mark Selby v Ken Doherty Stephen Hendry v Anda Zhang Mark Williams v Marcus Campbell Ronnie O'Sullivan v Liang Wenbo I love the World Championships and will have more to say closer to the time but as usual, much will depend on which Ronnie turns up to play this year because if he can stay motivated and find the form we all know he's capable of it's difficult to look past him - but if the "I don't care so much" Ronnie turns up he could be sent on his bike in the 1st round because Liang Wenbo has the potential to make it uncomfortable, not the best draw for Ronnie in R1. John Higgins, he just know's how to prepare for the two week's and is most likely to stay consistent throughout because his game is made for the long session's required, never easy to beat. My early pick outside of Ronnie is Mark Selby, more experienced and getting better and better, will be full of confidence still after that epic Masters final back in January and well worth an early punt at 9/1 you can get on Betfair. :hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marron Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Re: Snooker: World Championships Just had a quick glance at the markets on Paddy Power (so dont know if there is a bigger price elsewhere) and Mark Allen looks decent value at 3.25 to win his quarter. His biggest challenger looks to be Maguire, who im not fully convinced by when it comes to winning matches comfortably that he is expected to win. However, Allen has shown over the past year or so that he can mix it with anyone and it wont be long before he wins one of the bigger tournaments.

Spooner Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Re: Snooker: World Championships No, because it will take over the first post of the new thread and my first post has all the odds etc... thread locked so people don't get confused. I'll add the posts to other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
