World Snooker Championship

[Matt50]

The World Snooker Championship starts tomorrow - always some great betting opportunities here and i generally do pretty well so am looking for a profitable couple of weeks (hope i havent bokked myself there lol)

I have been trading for a couple of weeks on betfair and just need a couple of lays matched for an all green book with massive profit on Burnett, Greene and Gould that hopefully i can lay off if they can get through a round or two.  In total i have traded 21 players so should keep some interest going.

It is difficult to pick a winner this year.  Obviously Ronnie is the favourite but is not for me at 9/4.  I am still unsure about Selby and Carter having the bottle to go all the way and Maguire and Higgins are always under priced for the big tournaments in my opinion.
I have gone for Peter Ebdon in the spreads, which means that he needs to reach at least the semi-finals, but if he does then it is big profit for a small outlay mainly due to the fact that he is due to meet Ronnie in the quarters if they both get that far.

As for match betting, i will be trying to keep an update on here with my picks which i will start looking at tonight.

[Matt50]

Would have to be organised pretty quickly - you need 32 people before 10.00 saturday morning.

[Pelham Boy]

I'm in. If we could get 16 then do two players each.

[Matt50]

Yeah 16 sounds better and you get 1 seeded player and 1 qualifier.

I'm in - are you running it Barry?

[GreekStein]

Even 8 people is fine. Everyone just gets 4 in that case.

Erm no, lol, I'm actually about to go out and prob wont be near a pc until late tonight. Sorry for the hit and run sweepstake suggestion.

If someone else wants to do it, Im well up for a 16 peeps get two players or 8 peeps get 4

[Karabiner]

The trouble with backing Ebdon is that you'll be forced to watch all of his matches
