Am ready to start the WSOP 2024 thread. I did my June accounts and realised I am still up on the year, pretty much due to getting to June in a better position than in any year since 2013. Think in a few of the recent years the WSOP has bailed me out, this year has been very different.
I think I played well for most of the trip and genuinely enjoyed nearly everything away from the tables. I just read some of the hand histories and just think why would I ever miss this?
It definitely isn't guaranteed though, just bought an eco car, and might just not have the cash this time next year.

I don't know if everyone noticed, but Jason Mercier won a bracelet last night after going on a near sabbatical for a few years.
Pretty strong performance for someone who has barely played recently. I don't know if his emotional support dog was present.

Good luck in the Stud Rob. Sounds a cracking night too. Used to spend my childhood holidays up the road in Croydon, but stayed in a place in Kilkhampton a couple of times. Nice part of the World.
Ha small world . We will discuss that one further when I bump into you next time . Think that is a spell checker error (or am going daft). To be fair just autocorrected to Croydon again, but am probably going daft too. Croyde not Croydon obv.

Thought Katie Boulter was more impressive than Murray. Still 500/1 with Paddy Power and Betfair Sportsbook. Does nobody there even work on a Sunday? Only 2 weeks until Wimbledon, so 2 weeks for the rest to get their eye in.
Think Cazaux is one for the notebooks. Was a bit overawed at the start, but have Murray a tough test for someone so inexperienced.
He has run good on opponents injuries (when winning) but had reached the semi final in Ilkley. I have seen it suggested that he should get a wildcard for Wimbledon, so not exactly flying under the radar. 500/1 Boulter and 150/1 Norrie both gone. Nobody seems to want to play well on the grass amongst the women. Seeds are getting skittled at Berlin and Edgbaston too. What chances Dart makes the final?

Burrage, Boulter is interesting.
I had Burrage close to her after watching the last few matches. She has improved enormously over the last couple of years.
Have laid Boulter at 1.54 and think it is a great bet.
Quite sad in Nottingham today, walked past the Dart/Watson match and less than 20 there. It is on court 1, but they have only sold centre and Match was rescheduled.
How is it at Nottingham, are the mens matches getting bigger crowds and hype even though on paper the Challenger is a step below the women's 250? I have had a little bet on Burrage for a sweat on your recommendation! Have not followed the tournament this week there on the ladies side. Am only here today. I think Men's challer is > women's double final, and we have really good seats right behind Andy Murray, hence not moving. I came last year and would say WTA final was better supported than the men's final despite Dan Evans in the latter. We are in the gap between matches so less than half full now, but natural time to eat. We sneaked out between sets as I have grumpy kids with me.

just need paddy or skybet to offer 25/1 a british women's winner of wimbledon now to suck all the mugs in!
Paddy Power are 500/1 Katie Boulter. Katie Swan and Jodie Burrage were only 200/1, not really sure why that is. Think Boulter is better than both. Can get the same at Shy and Betfair. Probably a bad price, but got to gamble at 1/2 first 2. Edit. They laid me £2.50 e/w and Shy £2 e/w FWIW. Can get the same price on Alize Cornet, so I did. Feels like you have to go with current grass form at these prices.
