Hang in there, Mark
15-10 is a formidable lead, but sometimes Higgy doesn’t pay attention.

I love Mark’s playing style, flashy, but sane

A tension filled final...almost better than players running centuries.
Mark Williams, a worthy champion.

Steve Davis looked exhausted, still has the heart of a snooker player.....
....and he’s one hell of a commentator.

The Johnny Archer Bobblehead Doll #83/100

On the back of Patrick Reed's US Masters win and Tiger Roll Grand National win bet got placed on the Snooker , just £1 E/W to keep the interest flowing as I passed Da Bookie AKA Ladbrokes and a bet was placed on Mark Williams on 08/04/2018 the next night a bet was placed on John Higgins and at the Quarter Final stages it was there to be had as to who would meet in the Final but I let it go .

Now I'm asking you for a tip for next years winner .

In this years Championships who caught your eye as to who will win next year ?

Sitting back watching this match I was thinking WTF are you doing Judd , have you forgotten how to win a match ? Ask the audience FF'S hahahaha , they will tell you what to do .

Well as we know Judd went on to win the match :

" So, the figures as they stand are since 1981:

Winning Favourites (Including Joint Favourites): 15

Losing Favourites (Including Joint Favourites): 23

Most Successful Favourites: Steve Davis (6 wins out of 9 attempts) and Stephen Hendry (6 out of 9).

Least Successful Favourite: Ronnie O’Sullivan (2 wins out of 12 attempts).

Most Successful Non-Favourite: Ronnie O’Sullivan and John Higgins (both 3 times winner when not favourites)

Clear Favourites who have lost in Round 1: Ronnie O’Sullivan (twice), Stephen Hendry (once), Steve Davis (once).

Co/Joint Favorites who have lost in Round 1: Neil Robertson (once).

Victims of The Crucible Curse: John Spencer (1978), Ray Reardon (1979), Terry Griffiths (1980), Cliff Thorburn (1981), Steve Davis (1982), Alex Higgins (1983), Dennis Taylor (1986), Joe Johnson (1987), Stephen Hendry (1991), John Parrott (1992), Ken Doherty (1998), John Higgins (1999), Mark Williams (2001), Ronnie O’Sullivan (2002), Peter Ebdon (2003), Shaun Murphy (2006), Graeme Dott (2007), Neil Robertson (2011), Mark Selby (2015), Stuart Bingham (2016)…..(no curse this year)

Hi Bob !

Bob Jewett said:
I'll go for one of the top two seeds. I would say that Selby is the steadier but if Ronnie hits top gear at the right times, no one else has a chance.
Click to expand...

Ronnie O'Sullivan equalled 5 title wins for the season but only played 'Devil Mode' once and that was against Marco Fu .

Mark Selby , the World Number One had a bad season and to watch his matches is like watching paint dry and there's better things to do with your time .

The next two most consistent players over the season after Ronnie O'Sullivan were John Higgins and Mark Williams and the fought out a great Final .

Ding Dong.....

Lonestar_jim said:
Sheffield welcomes Joe Perry. He is throttling the current champion 7-2.

To answer your question, Church66, I am pulling for Ding this year, but the draw gives O'Sulluvan an easy path to the finals. Ding vs Rocket would be a great watch.

The way the draw worked out Ding Junhui had his best chance but once again let his fans down and I should've went to the Jet garage for the £2 jug of milk thinking back now .

Ronnie OSullivan was never going to win this years World Championships from a punters point of view .

Wow...that’s a lot of heat the bookies are putting on the Rocket.....
...it’s hard to picture anybody being 6/4 at this stage.
Don’t read the papers, Ronnie

pt109 there was no way Ronnie O'Sullivan was a short pre tournament favourite in my minds eye and Da Bookie was having a laugh with the 6/4 favourite quote .
