yea i'm never betting on a chinese player. not because of that travesty but because i lost 3 or 4 times booking ding.

i like xintong. but 12/1 is too low, imo. i've seen some odds that are a bit off this year, barry hawkins for example.

soft draws for the favorites. except maybe higgins v o'connor. i think wu yize can upset v williams. gilbert, xintong and vafaei could hardly count as upsets

A year ago, Lei Peifan didn't even hold a professional tour card.

Now, he is a reigning ranking event champion, and is in the last 16 of the World Championship after sending home the reigning champ on day one.

Sport can move very quickly!

I tuned in at Kyren 6 v 3 Lei and just like everybody else expected a landslide win for Kyren but strange things happen at The Crucible Theatre but got to be honest i never seen that result coming .

Kyren on the ccomeback but lei playing fearless I thought Lei is worth a bet Kyren's on the drift.....


Kyren on the comeback so might as well try Lei for the win 80p 10-8 price drifted 10/3 for 10-9 , worth a bet so :
