Murphy should win i agree but his last couple of months have been not his greatest a few shock defeats losing to players likejohnnybev1987 said:Murphy should really get through to Semi's, next couple of days are the tough ones to call. Watched alot of Ding vs Hamilton yesterday was very poor, Hawkins vs Day the opposite starting with 3 tons and good standard. Well done Hamilton.
Ronnie has a tough draw, Robertson and then winner of Higgins / Mcgill
Selby's is tougher, Lliang Wembo and then winner of Trump/Brecel.
Recorded the rest of the week but might just skip if i know results or looks dull.
Slessor in indian open
Wells in first round of world open
Yuan Sijun in Shanghai Masters qualifier
Ursenbacher in english open
Then was very dissapointig in losing 6-2 to carter last week.
His game isnt were he wants it at the moment and think King actually has a chance
Personally i think White will.be the player who gets through today0 -
I think it could be anyone really , but i'd say personally Murphy is on the best form of any of them. Even with losing some he shouldn't, Fu if he is on form will be tough to beat, likewise Michael White.
I think Murphy has a very good chance today, others similar its short format best of 7 for first match so more chance there of Murphy getting beaten.0 -
Michael White 4-3 Marco Fu
A very topsy turvy first match of the day goes the way of White
4th match of the tournement and all 4 have been won by the lower ranked player
Can King keep it up or can Murphy finally end the bad run for higher ranked players2 -
Shaun murphh 4-2 Mark King
As predicted last night tonights group final is

Here's a genuine question or two for all you snooker (and betting) experts.
As far as I can tell since the World Champs have been held at the Crucible (40 years this year I believe) it has been won as follows:
Hendry 7
Davis 6
O'Sullivan 5
Higgins J 4
Selby 3
Williams M 2
In addition14 players have won it once.
The correlation between the number of times won and the value of the balls is apparent and if 2018 throws up a first time winner, say Judd Trump they will match exactly and total 42.
So my questions are; is it possible to place a bet now on a first time winner in 2018 which encompasses the pattern above, what do people think the odds would be and most importantly, am I correct?1 -
Firstly if the bet u want is any first time winner then most places would do it bit u would probably need to go into a shop or enquire online.JWADDICK said:Here's a genuine question or two for all you snooker (and betting) experts.

On bet365 Trump is 3rd favourite ding is 4th both never won before so price you are probably looking at 7/1 maybe 8/1.
Will it happen is a tougher question. Former chanpions O'Sullivan(although i think format is to long for him) Higgins and Williams all looking good atm.
You can never discount Murphy, Robertson or Bingham on the big stage.
And selby will be looking to retain for a 3rd year and his 4th in 5 years.
Trump is playing fantastic atm on his day Ding can be unstoppable.
So I wouldnt rule it out wouldnt be surprised to see a Trump Selby final0 - Sponsored links:
