You would've done well to predict that quarter final lineup
The final 4 I did at the start, Higgins, K Wilson, Carter + Trump. After the first session it looked well out, going into the final session3/4 were 9-7 down nice little £100 +
Split loyalties from here for me, I have Wilson outright 2 bets would return £360. I have 3 other players in a auction thing which gurantees me money but the better they do eg. win the whole thing will do even better : Gilbert, Higgins + Maguire. Fingers crossed I think Robbo wins personally but if he doesn't I should get a nice return somewhere
stuck indoors with illness a t m so I'm watching far too much TV (when I should be reading some of the many unread books that are waiting on my shelf) .. the snooker is compelling viewing and the standard of the modern players is remarkable .. so many in with a chance of winning the tournament .. watching on Eurosport as I prefer the commentary especially good ol Joe Johnson ((:>)

The standard in terms of scoring and break building is ridiculous these days. In the 70s and 80s centuries were not all that frequent, probably less than 10 made in 1978. Perrie Mans got to the final and even a fifty by him was a rarity. This season the record of 86 centuries is probably going to be beaten.

Hope your feeling much better soon
many thanks .. man flu+ (so I am told) .. nothing too serious ((:>)
Anyone watching the current frame Higgins vs Robertson? just finished as I typed Higgins won. Was odd the last 15 mins was a bit of lull as Robertson needed a snooker but got nowhere near. Might be a short break as Robbo needs his cue retipped could be dangerous for someone on form to have to change his cue/tip.
