the 2.19 of the Hawkins match is on you tube

stops at 5-4...

[Karabiner]

Not sure what's going on in the Snooker, I don't have any streams or TV coverage & am following it on Flash Score.

It currently shows Hawkins 5-4 ahead but states "Interrupted". Maybe that just means mid-session interval?

End of session perhaps, these semis are best of 19.

Kyren Wilson almost made it 4-5 to mirror Table 2, but @markjesterselby extends his lead to 3 frames by taking the 9th. How crucial will that be? The Fuhua Group China Open semi finals resume at 7.30pm (local) this evening! Follow the action LIVE on @Eurosport_UK #ChinaOpen

This is better than flashscores shows the inframe scoring up to date within 20 seconds:

Gotcha, thanks, though I think the evening session will be televised on Eurosport.

What a day for televised sport - Snooker, Merseyside Derby, Manchester Derby, Bahrain F1 qualifying, Masters Golf. We are blessed.

taking my mind off the snooker

where is the value now?

https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/winner

1. Patrick Reed (-9): Will this be Reed's moment? He strung together three straight birdies on three different occasions, pushing the lead into double digits under par for the first time all week. Reed finally got his first top-10 in a major at the 2017 PGA Championship, and now the five-time PGA Tour winner is looking to win his first major championship

2. Marc Leishman (-7): The opening holes have been good to Leishman. He's 5 under on the first three holes after two rounds and one of just five players in the field to shoot under par on both Thursday and Friday. He's only played two bad holes after 36 and been better than most of the field on the tough Augusta greens with zero three-putts so far in the tournament.  

3. Henrik Stenson (-4): The Masters is the only major where Stenson hasn't recorded a top-10 finish. He got off to a good start with a 69 on his 42nd birthday yesterday and followed that up with a 70 on Friday to enter the weekend four strokes off the lead.

T4. Rory McIlroy (-4): The scary thing here is that Rory doesn't need his best stuff to win this thing. He's got birdies on five of the eight par-5s from the opening rounds, and even without hitting a ton of fairways, he's been able to save pars and balance his card to remain under par and in the hunt.

T4. Jordan Spieth (-4): Two bad swings -- tee shots on the first two holes -- cost Spieth three strokes right out of the gate, but the takeaway from the former champ's round is positive after turning it around and picking up two birdies on an under-par back nine.

T6. Dustin Johnson (-3): If not for Reed's late-afternoon tear, Johnson would have finished with one of the best rounds of the day. His stellar round of 68 got started with an eagle on the par-5 2nd and included three birdies to just one bogey. Johnson was much better off the tee than he was on Thursday, and it helped set him up not only to score but to avoid bogeys on a tough day for everyone in the field.

T6. Justin Thomas (-3): Few in golf are better or more exciting on a heater than JT. Thomas fired six birdies during his second-round 67 that put him right in the thick of championship contention after going 2 over on Thursday. Less mistakes and impressive accuracy -- particularly on the two front-nine par-3s -- has the No. 2 player in the Official World Golf Rankings in a spot to challenge for No. 1.

T8. Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau, Justin Rose, Louis Oosthuizen, Bubba Watson, Charley Hoffman (-2): Who among this group has the best chance to make a move on Saturday? Previous history suggests Watson, Fowler, Rose and Oosthuizen all have the potential to put themselves in position to contend on Sunday, but don't rule out Finau continuing this impressive showing in his first Masters appearance after injuring his ankle on Wednesday.

thats a CBS summary

Dustybin has played some pretty decent golf so far, to my mug eyes. A few putts a smidge short or lipped being the difference. Sadly it's 4 places 1/5, so is 11/1 outright any good?

[maldini32]

It's been a while and it's good to see TPFT still going strong.

The IPL starts today and as with the normal MOTM bets I like guys who bat in the top 5 and bowl the full quota of 4 overs. I've had a look and like our Friend Krunal Pandya @ 18/1 with 365 and betway. For those of you that can remember he copped for us last season too.

With it being the first game and IPL selection committees being as they are and doing random shit let's go with a sensible £20. I don't know what accounts you've still got, happily take the 16s that are about too.

[hhyftrftdr]

f the Premier League table was based on Expected Goals it would look like this....

In terms of points, Burnley and Manchester United are massively overperforming

Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur and West Brom are massively underperforming

So City are running bad this season?

Feels like a Pep backlash is coming today, not very often we're 5/6 at home. Not tipping this for Fred cos I'm way too biased, but I think 5/6 could look huge when the team news comes out later.

I'm happy to disregard the top two at the prices, great tip on Leishman though. Let's hope he gets it done. I like both the Justin's at the prices and I still think Spieth is exceptional around here and it's not quite in the price how good he is.

We are indeed. Just to confirm the ‘evening’ session starts at 12:30 local time.

Eurovision time!

Isreal's chicken song is tight at around 2-1 and is crushing on youtube, but it's essentially annoying.

Estonia is opera, which never does well, like Italy a few years ago when they'd almost been odds-on.

I'm happy to take on the pair of them and that sends us into the double-figure prices. Bulgaria has been backed in the past couple of days and is under the current best-priced 14-1 on the machine. 14-1 EW a quarter four spots with Betshight and NobetVictor is more than pleasing for those that can.

Also, please take some of Sporting's 11-1 to win semi no.1 please. They've wound up in the same semi as Israel and Estonia but the price is obviously OOL and, if they're going to win the whole thing, they'll be winning this too.

Head and shoulders the best song for me and Bulgaria are the ESC's form horse. Fourth in 2016 and second last year.

Love to see someone approach Jose with this table and tell him how golden he has run this year and not being incredibly unlucky like he constantly thinks his team is.

[Chompy]

No Marcus Maddison for Posh. Twisted his ankle in training, something he does about half a dozen times a game if you believe his rolling-around antics. He's no Tony Finau.

Looking at today's midfield of Grant, Cooper, Forrester and Lopes, none tops six foot, none pulls more than 11 stone, and they've contributed one league goal between them this season. Our midfield really is garbage.

I've topped up on Plymouth.

[horseplayer]

Grant still enjoying passing the ball backwards? decent tackler but  very limited needs a lot alongside him
