That's not a good bet. Not even if you're just buying quick entertainment.
Going deep means reaching the round of 16 or better to this fan.
With half the players cashing... I think even I could cash.
Kind sir,
I have never bet on another's pool match before and you may find you got action on that!
Yeah, that's good advice there.
Yes of cos, just saying what is more likely not saying 100% that it will happen.
They can also get eliminated in last 64 by some fired up players who qualified from losers side
It seems that two spots opened up.

From what I can tell, compared to the list on 9/30...It seems that two spots opened up.

The player contract explains the refund process. If they can find another player the withdrawee gets back $600 and loses a $150 admin fee. If Matchroom cannot find a replacement, the whole $750 is forfeited.
I don't find the replacement process unusual.
That all sounds fine. I've just never seen a tournament announce the draw weeks in advance. I know they did last year at the Open and I thought it was very odd. It may not be easy to game, but it seems to crack the door open slightly. Oh well, times change I guess.
Agreed that this is rare. The times I've seen the draw announced well in advance was when there is not a player's meeting on the schedule. Over the years, most event producers have taken the view of not doing the draw until the player's meeting fully establishes who will and won't be participating.
The argument in favor of doing the draw well in advance for events having a full field of fixed size is that it can help market the event by generating some enthusiasm and discussion among the fans and players. As an example, here we are talking about the exciting matchup looming in the Round of 32 between Filler and Gorst, whom many of us count as the world's two best pool players.
The argument against doing the draw early, of course, is that the field might change after the draw is done, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives and this fan favors the early announcement.
Sorry to see Kelly Fisher out. Johnny Salas is from Costa Rica (FR 745 prelim).
Agreed. Kelly's participation adds to any event. Matchroom's bad luck here.
