Snooker!!

Not much going on tonight so I'm playing the snooker. Snooker is a sport that I enjoy watching but rarely bet on, however when I do I tend to do ok. Tonight there are two Premier League matches... Best of 6 frames which brings the draw into play. The current table stands as:

Hendry W 4 D 1 L 0 PTS 9
Ding W 3 D 1 L 0 PTS 7
O'SullivanW 3 D 0 L 2 PTS 6
Davis W 2 D 0 L 2 PTS 4
White W 0 D 3 L 2 PTS 3
Higgins W 0 D 2 L 2 PTS 2
Robertson W 0 D 1 L 3 PTS 1

Tonight the matches are Ding v Higgins and O'Sullivan v Robertson. Hendry, Ding & Ronnie are through as Davis plays Higgins next week meaning only one more place in the semi finals is up for grabs.

Both Robertson & Higgins must win, but like with anything else, that doesn't mean they will do. Higgins is out of form while Ding is the form player (beating Davis 6-0 last time out) while Robertson is also struggling, especially with break building (he also struggles with the shot clock). Although both Ding and O'Sullivan have qualified I think they'll win tonight... and win well. If either of them turn it on it could be a possible whitewash...

3.5pts Ding to beat Higgins @ 2.58
5pts O'Sullivan to beat Robertson @ 1.77
0.5pts Ding to win 6-0 @ 26
0.5pts O'Sullivan to win 6-0 @ 14

Update: Awful start for Ding... 3-0 down but cannot play any worse... the Ding win bet and 6-0 has gone, but surely Ding has some pride.
1.5pts Ding to draw with Higgins @ 7

Update: Ding had chances with the draw but the mistakes made cost dearly and he lost 2-4. had the chance to level out for no loss, but didn't take it and it's a big loss to start the evening! Come on O'Sul to salvage something!!!

Update: O'Sullivan races into a 5-0 lead and wins the match, I've layed a bit on the 6-0 so the profit is 4.6pts if it is 6-0 and 2.3 if it finishes 5-1

And a good job as a century break for Robertson makes it 5-1. Somehow a winning night!

3.5pts Ding to beat Higgins @ 2.58 - Lost -3.5pts
5pts O'Sullivan to beat Robertson @ 1.77 - Won +3.66pts
0.5pts Ding to win 6-0 @ 26 - Lost -0.5pts
0.5pts O'Sullivan to win 6-0 @ 14 - Won +2.34pts
1.5pts Ding to draw with Higgins @ 7 - Lost -1.5pts

Total: +0.5pts
