Qualifying round odds included but it looks like the bookies haven't a clue who will win and your guess is as good as mines.:wink:

 

[Slasher]

I'd like to think Murphy is due to win one the way he's been playing, but after the blitz by Maguire in Germany not so sure.

Slasher,

Shaun Murphy has played well so far this season and deserves a bit of luck that earns him a title.

 

[Slasher]

You won't find a straighter cueist or a better rest player, love watching him play.

Anthony Mc Gill plays out of The Lucky Break Snooker Hall in Clydebank and I have never seen him play but my sons tell me he is good.

Anthony has drawn Gerard Greene in the next round,Gerard is a good player but all the best wishes go to Anthony.Cmon Anthony !:thumbup:

My stream links were crashing and the World Snooker Live Score were at it again but I managed to see most of Ali Carter 3 V 4 Steve Davis and it was good to see Steve play well,especially if you took him in the event predictor website.

I said to my son I wouldn't be surprised if a complete rank outsider who nobody has ever seen or heard of wins the worlds and it would be a bit like when Joe Johnson won the 1986 title at odds of 150/1."It's all these extra tournaments dad "Andy said !

However we are at the Welsh Open 2012 and here are the latest bookmaker odds :

[pt109]

I think I like a bunch of tournaments with short matches.
The pressure never stops and the best are not comfortable
even while playing the worst.

Barry Hearn rocks.

 

[pt109]

Hendry looking good beating Robertson 4-1.

I wonder how Hendry and Davis would have handled the fast cloth
in their prime......my guess....they would have made even more centuries.

O'Sullivan win secures World Spot :

John Higgins bows out :

http://www.sportinglife.com/snooker...E=snooker/12/02/15/manual_213617.html&BID=663

John Higgins hasn't been on the ball since he took the World Title but I wouldn't give up on him yet.He wasn't far away from a 4-2 win against Ding but for cue ball position on the pink and having to use the rest to try the pot.Fair play to Ding he played pretty solid throughout the match.

P.S.

Ronnie O'Sullivan and Phil Taylor have have this thing going.Ronnie's 147 total V Phil Taylors 9 dart finishes.Ronnie has 11 televised 147 breaks and earlier Phil Taylor hit a 9 dart finish,counting one in an internet only competition to equal Ronnie at 11 each.Phil scored 180,174 and checked out on 147 for the 9 dart finish.So Phil has set the challenge to Ronnie to reply with a 147.Let's hope it happens.:thumbup:

Ronnie plays Judd 1330 UK time.Sounds like box-office material.:thumbup:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/17076786

Ronnie put the pressure on himself to preform when he decided to pick what tournaments he would play but IMO it is Judd Trumps play that has woken Ronnie up and reignited his desire to play the game.I hope they have many battles on the baize in the near future.:thumbup:
