Again he missed the blue. It seems those inches are not his friends today.

[psrquack]

Oh man, Highfield is totally out of concentration. He couldn't pot those red too.

[Purps]

Nailing all the long tough pots, but missing way too many easy ones.

[Purps]

This Murphy - Jones match is a cracker.

We already have the over 16.5 nailed but now we need him to win also for some more money.

Go Jamie Go!

[Livertool]

Just watched ronnies´s 14 th 147 earlier this year. He is just awesome..... somedays not so but who cares, he is the man :)

[Purps]

Great deciding frame win for Jamie Jones already guaranteeing us a winning day with still 3 more possible winning bets coming in the evening session if Carrington doesn't get run over by Hawkins.

 

These bets have been concluded today so far:

Mark Allen - Liam Highfield / Allen -4.5 @ 2.50 :Cash: 10-5 for Allen

Bets for day 4 ( tuesday )

I picked under 14,5 games for Higgins-Um-Nooh and I'm ready for the evening session.

Let's hope it doesn't end 10-5 or 10-6 and nobody wins. The 6-3 1st session is kinda heading that way, but your under may happen, my Un-Nooh+3.5 probably won't.

[psrquack]

What a sensational game for Milkins. Robertson had the chance for comeback at 5-6 but Milkins showed an awersome performance and now lead be 5-9. I think he will win the 15th frame for 2,23 too.

[Purps]

Can't remember seeing Robertson play this bad.

On the other table Wakelin is looking surprisingly good.

Not gonna be a good day for my bets... oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

[psrquack]

I think your Un-Nooh bet will be succed. I don't think Higgins can make a 4-1 run. I can't follow the other table, because I have had running icehockey and tennis games too, but try to have a look if you are saying it's worth to watch.

[psrquack]

I think that black really hurts you @Purps.

[Purps]

OMG he did it!

Saw you mentioned me @psrquack but didnt know how long the delay was on my stream so couldn't check what you said before the frame was over :)

Had been brutal if it went to a respotted black :wow:

Ryan Day started well too but then dropped 2 frames... 3-2 ahead now but he needs to step it up a little.

Can't you follow the game at Unibet tv or at Eurosport or why you have such a big delay?

Eurosport not showing on TV where I live and my computer is an old Linux laptop, which is really bad at streaming anything flash-based. I'm using a mediacenter software named Kodi to watch games and sports channels. Some have a delay and some don't, can't really tell which do and which don't.

Guess I need to put some of my snooker winnings ( sick brag ;) ) to use and buy a new machine and move to the dark side ( windows ) :sad:

That would help playing poker on this site too, even 2-tabling the browser poker is undoable.

Wednesday results:

Weird day. Both bets that seemed to be going our way after the 1st session yesterday, failed:

Mark Williams - Jimmy Robertson / Under 14.5 frames @ 2.90 ( 7-2 after 1st session ) :Veryangry: 10 - 5 for Williams

Neil Robertson - Robert Milkins / Over 16.5 frames @ 2.55 ( 3-6 after 1st session ) :Veryangry: 10 - 5 for Milkins

Thankfully Un-Nooh saved the day with his mini comeback against Higgins:

John Higgins - Thepchaiya Un-Nooh / Un-Nooh +3.5 @ 2.70 :Cash: 10 - 7 for Higgins

 

Bets on this tournament:

Settled: 23

Won: 15

Return: 40.14

 

Tomorrow is the starting day of round 2 ( 16 players round )

Excited about that, will be posting my bets shortly....

[Purps]

Allright. We are starting round 2, and the matches will be played best of 25 frames on this round and will be split into 3 sessions. Tomorrow will be a little special and there's only gonna be 2 sessions played.

On the 2 games that start I'll be going heavy for Perry and especially for Haotian. That may backfire, but we've been doing good so far, so let's hope it won't.

 

Bets for day 6 ( thursday ):

Joe Perry - Mark Allen / Perry -1.5 @ 2.90

Joe Perry - Mark Allen / First to 6 frames: Perry @ 2.15

Lyu Haotian - Barry Hawkins / Haotian @ 4.00

Lyu Haotian - Barry Hawkins / Over 22.5 frames @ 2.55

Lyu Haotian - Barry Hawkins / Highest break: Haotian @ 2.63

Lyu Haotian - Barry Hawkins / First to 6 frames: Haotian @ 3.20

 

Bets on this tournament:

Settled: 23

Won: 15

Return: 40.14

 

GL!

[Purps]

Thursday results:

Bad bad day started with the total meltdown of Ryan Day. The match continued from his 6-3 lead, he then went on to make the tournament highest break ( 145 ) on the 1st frame of the day to take 7-3 lead. Somehow he managed to lose the game 8-10 from there.

Judd Trump also struggles against  Chris Wakelin ( deciding frame going on currently ), so that didn't go our way either.

 

Judd Trump - Chris Wakelin / Total centuries: Over 2.5 @ 2.25 :Veryangry: 1 or 2 centuries

Judd Trump - Chris Wakelin / Total frames: Under15.5 @ 2.00 :Veryangry: 19 frames

Anthony McGill - Ryan Day / Day -3.5 @ 3.20 :Veryangry: McGill 10 - 8

 

Bets on this tournament:

Settled: 26

Won: 15

Return: 40.14

 

Bets for day 7 ( friday )

Ali Carter - Ronnie O'Sullivan / O'Sullivan -6.5 @ 2.70

Kyren Wilson - Jamie Jones / Wilson -4.5 @ 2.60

[psrquack]

Poor Cartet. He really had the chance to get a spectacular lead but he missed. I hope you still have Lyu for win @Purps and didn't sell it after 0-4.

No, haven't sold any of the bets.

I really hope Liu starts the session better tomorrow morning. First session he lost the first 4 frames and on second session he lost the first 3... Can't do that anymore. Gonna be really interesting which way this one will go.

I wasn't happy about him carelessly missing an easy pink on a 125 break, since Barry has done a 129 and I have Lyu to score the highest break of the match 😠

 

The start of the 2nd round has not been great for my bets, 0 for 4 on the bets that got decided today:

Joe Perry - Mark Allen / @Perry -1.5 @ 2.90 😠 13 - 8 for Allen

Joe Perry - Mark Allen / @First to 6 frames: Perry @ 2.15 😠 6 - 4 for Allen

Lyu Haotian - Barry Hawkins / @First to 6 frames: Haotian @ 3.20 😠 6 - 3 for Hawkins

Ali Carter - Ronnie O'Sullivan / @O'Sullivan -6.5 @ 2.70 😠 9 - 7 for Carter ( after 2nd session )

 

Bets on this tournament:

settled: 30

Won: 15

return: 40.14

 

I'll make bets for tomorrow in the morning since there are no new games starting in the morning session and odds for the games that have already started aren't up yet.
