Title: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: TheChipPrince on July 30, 2010, 03:14:41 PM Not sure if anyone will have heard of this lad, just turned 15 and Belgium Champion, beat Bjorn Haneveer 7-4 in the final. Had hit both left & right handed 147's at 13, plays like lightning sometimes, watch this 122 in under 4 mins, when getting the balls out himself!! Also a couple of 147 at 12 vid...
Get on get paid when this lad gets heard of. EDIT: If I can get the vids up! Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: TheChipPrince on July 30, 2010, 03:23:59 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch#v=7NYMx49MDvs&feature=related

Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: TheChipPrince on July 30, 2010, 04:32:35 PM The 122 is just amazing. The black at 1:30 and the quick switches to left-hand are something to behold. Theres another clip on there his ''54th 147'', wearing a Liverpool top, when he plays a little cracker with 3 reds left with masses of right-hand side to keep on the black. Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: The Camel on July 30, 2010, 05:09:35 PM I loved the green at 1:11
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: mondatoo on July 30, 2010, 05:10:26 PM What price would you get if you walked into the bookies and backed him to win the World Champs ?
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: DaveShoelace on July 30, 2010, 05:27:03 PM Is there an age limit for the world championships? Does he have a world ranking yet?
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: TheChipPrince on July 30, 2010, 06:20:09 PM What price would you get if you walked into the bookies and backed him to win the World Champs ? At any time? Evens maybe. He is 6/1 @ sportingbet to win the world champs before 2020, when he'll be 24... Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: DUNK619 on July 30, 2010, 06:23:50 PM he is playing in this http://powersnooker.com/
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: TheChipPrince on July 30, 2010, 06:24:27 PM Is there an age limit for the world championships? Does he have a world ranking yet? I'm 95% sure you have to be 16 to turn pro, so he doesn't have a ranking yet. He is playing all the tour events tho which Barry Hearn has brought in, he beat Ken Doherty 5-3 in the last 1, before he lost 5-4 to Dott. He's 200-1 to win the next one, same price as Steve Davis. Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: Marky147 on July 30, 2010, 06:40:47 PM Wow that's vv special, amazing how he's not even feathering most of the shots in that 122 and that blind cut on the black was just ridic!!
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: StuartHopkin on July 30, 2010, 07:08:10 PM Meh
No different to how i play on the occasional Wednesday night. [ ] Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: TheChipPrince on October 01, 2010, 02:14:21 PM Get on get paid when this lad gets heard of. OK, had 1st bet on him today in Players Tour Champs in Belgium, playing a good young Welsh lad jamie Jones, 13/10, 1st to 4, gogo Luca! Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: TheChipPrince on October 01, 2010, 04:17:31 PM 3-3, sweat!!

Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: 77dave on October 30, 2010, 01:03:10 PM is on itv4 right now in the power snooker
only 8 players so well played to him for getting on the bill and he has got ronnie in the 1st match Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: AndrewT on October 30, 2010, 01:38:37 PM This power snooker is actually not too bad and, crucially, works well as a TV format. Maybe snooker has found its 20/20.

Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: Jamier-Host on April 15, 2012, 09:41:58 PM What price would you get if you walked into the bookies and backed him to win the World Champs ? 200/1 to bash it up first time round this year. Just made the main draw. Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: bobby1 on April 15, 2012, 10:06:10 PM What price would you get if you walked into the bookies and backed him to win the World Champs ? 200/1 to bash it up first time round this year. Just made the main draw. Was a good comeback too against Mark King who obv has a lot of experience in closing out matches. Really really good form too beating Mculloch, Pinches, Holt and King. That is a tough set of qualification rounds and he won the last two games 10-9 and 10-8 so clearly has some nerve for a 17 year old. Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: bobby1 on April 15, 2012, 10:20:00 PM Peter Ebdon in a rare streak of form too, won the other week and just taken out Alfie Burden 10-0. My first instinct was that must have been a walkover.

He is the same price with Corals, didn't seem worth depositing to get the 32pence they would let me have on :D Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: claypole on April 16, 2012, 12:15:07 AM I've hust had £10 ew at 150s, the kid is mustard - just never know, nobody owning at the moment and like Bobby said a tough set of qualifiers to get through, like who thought Reading would win the Championship in November ;letsparty;

Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: Jamier-Host on April 16, 2012, 12:08:53 PM Was thinking he might be a fun one to be with on the spreads. Be interesting to see how they rate him after the draw is done as has done absolutely nothing all season before the Worlds, although clearly plenty of hype about his long-term ability.
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: paulhouk03 on April 16, 2012, 12:58:47 PM I got 20 ew at 100s
Hope he delivers and not do an ding and not win for ages Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: bobby1 on April 16, 2012, 01:02:03 PM The draw for the first round is live on Talksport at 13.30, does anyone know if its available anywhere else?

Ronnie v Ebdon too, that will be a test of mind for Ronnie given Ebbo will make it as slow as possible. Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: Ant040689 on April 16, 2012, 02:12:01 PM On at 150/1, £20 e/w with Skybet, max bet with them is £20.

im on Ebdon 33/1 to reach the final hard 1st game but get through that and after his China Open win could look good value Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: geordieneil on April 22, 2012, 08:11:42 AM Obv an amazing talent, hes currently 4/1 to beat Maguire in his opening match.......must be worth a little punt

Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: paulhouk03 on April 22, 2012, 12:56:33 PM seems to be playing alot better now
seems comfortable got 20£ at 11s when he was 6-2 down maguire is playing terribly imo just luca spazing out too much Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: Jamier-Host on April 22, 2012, 06:47:53 PM Was thinking he might be a fun one to be with on the spreads. Be interesting to see how they rate him after the draw is done as has done absolutely nothing all season before the Worlds, although clearly plenty of hype about his long-term ability. Decided against the outright but had a tickle on his tournament ton ups. Need to check what the spread was and how much I did but looks like it could be a fun freeroll now. Unfortunately only got chance to see the first half of the session. Reckon he's still got a chance to nick the match?

Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: bobby1 on April 23, 2012, 12:13:24 AM The score is 6-3
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: bobby1 on April 23, 2012, 12:41:06 AM The score is 6-3 Cheers. BBC showed 6-2 earlier when I last checked. Not a lot of difference really unless he takes the first two frames. Maguire's been solid since Xmas so don't visualise any reverse here. I would make Maguire at least 8's on here. Probably shorter even. Good luck though as I don't have an interest. yes, its going to be tough for him. I'm looking forward to seeing how it pans out. Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: LeeMcshane on April 23, 2012, 04:20:16 AM this guy is special... He beats Mark selby hands down at his age! I played mark selby reg in alot of tournements around 12-15 and don't get me wrong you could tell he was going to be something special but this boy could be the new ronnie and make ronnie look like joe Perry!

I played mark selby reg in alot of tournements around 12-15 and don't get me wrong you could tell he was going to be something special but this boy could be the new ronnie and make ronnie look like joe Perry! I've played Mark a few times too. At Willie Thornes club like you say was a serious talent. I wish that when I was 13-14 I knew about betting because I played a certain player called Judd Trump at pontins and my god did that kid finish me off lol! Wish i had put a good few quid on him to be world champion. Him and his brother Jack are both really talented players. Luca is good but seems to not handle pressure to well. Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: outragous76 on April 23, 2012, 05:41:25 PM Ronnie O'Sullivan is so good to watch. I know he is competant with his left hand, but to have the ability to switch in and out for 1 shot is amazing control. The pink he just potted to take that frame was sublime!
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: Marky147 on April 23, 2012, 05:48:10 PM Yeah Ronnie is ridiculous still and I'd love for him to win it even though it would cost me money :)
Title: Re: Snooker - Luca Brecel Post by: Jamier-Host on April 24, 2012, 07:33:39 AM I had wanted to oppose Ronnie on the spreads (probably selling his ton ups like I did last year) but it's just too scary a proposition. He can either get dumped out unceremoniously in Round 1 or go on and win the thing with a couple of maximums for fun.
Think i'm glad I bottled it and bought Ebdon on the outright for a small amount instead for a less risky anti-Ronnie bet. At least I'm not sweating like 2011 when Higgins did me a big favour! Another thing I am on though is unders of Mark Williams tourno ton ups. He's had a pretty average season, including only beating top 10 players twice so can't fancy him to go far in the section of the draw he finds himself in (probably meeting Ronnie IF he gets through). He also doesn't tend to make loads of centuries (just 15 this season) as is known for just messing about and wanting to move onto the next frame once it is won - especially now the top break prize is out of commission. The line has moved a bit from the 43 I got, but am tempted to have a bit more at 40 myself after writing that!

Also did us a favour a couple of times by sticking to the script and deliberately ending 60/70+ breaks when had frame won.
