Disgraced snooker star Mark King has admitted his downward gambling spiral began at a very young age
💔


🗣️
: “From a young age, I used to stay round my nan’s house on a Thursday. We played Yahtzee, an old-school game.

“My nan used to give me a bag of two pences. She would put them in front of me. That’s how I started betting and learning that sort of stuff.

“I used to go to the snooker club in Romford, the club where Steve Davis first started. And I was playing on the fruit machines — all day, every day. At that time, fruit machines were 10p a go and the jackpot was £100. I was only ten or 11 years old and I wasn’t allowed to play them.

“Once I put in one pound and won £16. I got four bells. I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’m rich’, and I had to run with it in my pocket to the toilet.”

Tom Ford didn't like Ross Muir's pace and play.

For those interested and who have a subscription to the WST videos, that match was recorded. I'm about to see what the fuss was about. I notice that they are starting their second session with only 7 frames completed Ford 3-4 Muir -- so someone was a little slow. Usual is 9 frames in the first session.

report back 🤣 i would bet tom ford is right! even though he's known for sour grapes, he's always brutally honest and often self-depreciating

I didn't watch the whole thing, but the part I saw seemed more or less normal. Muir does have a listed shot time of 32 seconds or so in that match, which is on the slow end of players there, but not outrageous. And Muir seemed to be playing normal shots. Maybe something came up after I stopped watching.

Here is the second session -- maybe the link will work if you are signed in to wst.tv
