So who do you have to win it?

I think it will come down between Ronnie and Mark Selby. If Ronnie is in a good mood I like him to win it again or the ref will have to give him a nosh.:D
 
too difficult to call i think - the standard is so high and there are quite afew players who are more than capable of winning it. peter ebdon, matthew stevens, ding...

stephen maguire has a sublime game and is playing well these days. john higgins is also playing well and can annihillate anybody. peter ebdon

my favourite player mark williams hits em like nobody else does but he's been in a slump of late however - would be great for him to regain some form.

then you've got the young guns like robertson, jamie cope, ryan day, even ali carter who are all capable.

let's not forget probably the greatest snooker player ever stephen hendry and also ronnie, fresh from having a nosh - will probably be fired up too lol.

impossible to call!!
 
I like Mark Selby or Stephen Maguire, their both in great form and bring a lot of confidence into the tournament.

Of course Ronnie is always a threat.

My nostalgic vote goes to Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis. Very unlikely, but I would love to see it happen.

Davis doesn't have the game he used to in the eighties, but hendry still has his you know. i don't think Hendry is a long shot at all in the slightest!

I know, it just seems from his interviews his mind isn't in the right place, in other words his confidence isn't there.
 
I think Maguire will take it, and I think Hendry is out first round this year, Mark Allen is our big hope from Northern Ireland and he is playing great. Robertson is going to win the worlds soon but just not this year.
 
These are the odds available from Victor Chandler. Selby or Murphy for me.


Ronnie O`Sullivan 11/4
Mark Selby 9/2
Steven Maguire 7/1
Shaun Murphy 15/2
John Higgins 11/1
Ding Junhui 12/1
Neil Robertson 16/1
Ken Doherty 25/1
Peter Ebdon 28/1
Marco Fu 33/1
Jamie Cope 33/1
Stephen Hendry 33/1
Matthew Stevens 40/1
Mark Allen 40/1
Ryan Day 40/1
Ali Carter 50/1
Barry Hawkins 80/1
Graham Dott 80/1
Stuart Bingham 80/1
Joe Perry 80/1
Mark Williams 40/1
Liang Wenbo 100/1
Stephen Lee 100/1
Anthony Hamilton 150/1
Mark King 150/1
Joe Swail 150/1
Mark Davis 200/1
Michael Judge 200/1
Steve Davis 250/1
Liu Chuang 250/1
Nigel Bond 250/1
Dave Harold 250/1
 
I like Higgins at 10-1 and Williams at 40-1, nice betting odds for multiple time world champions who can still play at the highest levels
 
i really hope williams gets his act together this year and finds a gear but going by his recent form the odds are fair.

but there's some great odds on players like higgins, murphy, ebdon, ding, and hendry etc.
 
I think Higgins at 11/1 is a outstanding bet. I shall be placing some money on him and Murphy tomorrow.
