As the Betfred.com World Championships reaches the quarter-final stage, it seems a great idea to re-visit the prices of the potential winner, especially since the loss of Judd Trump has shocked us all.
Trump led 12-9 against Ali Carter and seemed to be comfortable in his play and yet managed to lose, yet another loss of concentration opinion stops the 22-year-old from reaching his full potential and being the new World No.… Read More…
It seems that every time of the year will a certain outside sport gets the lime light for once. Tennis has Wimbledon, American Football the Super Bowl and snooker has the Crucible. The World Championships are upon us people and its time to see who is worth a bet to win it all.
The Joy of Writing this after a few Upsets
It seems that some of the main contenders have lost already in this year’s event.… Read More…

Jimmy White Returns!!!
The return of Jimmy White, the ‘whirlwind’, to snooker will bring a huge smile on my face. The crazy left-hander, seemingly known off the table of recent, has qualified through to the China Open and has a crack at Judd Trump.
White was very upbeat about his return and still has that air of confidence about him.
“I just still love playing and always have done so… I can still win any tournament”
White is looking forward to qualifying for the Crucible this year where he will turn 50.… Read More…
The Haikou World Open opened with a bang today as Din Junhui was smashed by Jin Long leaving Judd Trump and John Higgins to top the bookies Favourite to win it all.
The Welsh Open Champion, was many people’s pick to win it all on home soil but it was not to be. Jin Long came through the qualifying round on Monday was but was certainly not feeling the pressure today as Ding cracked like an American bell.… Read More…
After watching an unexpected Masters’ final between Neil Robertson and Shaun Murphy, the German Masters arrive on our calendar and it should be a big one this year.
The German Masters can be seen on British Eurosport starting tomorrow at 9 AM. The event will be a real big test for Robertson and the new pressure that comes with being a Masters champion.… Read More…
Back to Ally Pally, but not for Darts
Enjoyed a superb day at Alexandra Palace on Tuesday, where I saw John Higgins make short work of an out of sorts (and possibly in decline) Matthew Stevens followed by Neil Robertson playing some flawless snooker to rattle off four frames in a row in defeating Mark Allen.
As blogged about already in my Ally Pally Snooker blog it’s a really well chosen location to host London’s premier snooker event.… Read More…
Fill your boots with the 11/10
Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump both won their first round matches setting up an affair between the two in the quarter finals on Thursday. In other news, John Higgins, Shaun Murphy and Mark Williams also advanced to the quarter finals.
The ‘Rocket’ is the favourite at 4/5 by Bet 365 to beat the 22-year-old.… Read More…
So back to Ally Pally, after only a few weeks having attended the “arrers” with the guys from my day job!
Really impressed with venue, they have used the same hall as the Ladbrokes Darts World Championship, but curtained it off so only the last 3rd is utilised. They have the usual crowd arrangements with the spectators arranged around three of the four snooker table sides, with press photographers and commentators stationed at the head of the table.… Read More…
The Snooker Masters beckons BBC once again on Sunday as the best 16 players will duke it out in a new setting, The Alexandra Palace.
The ‘Ally Pally’ takes over from Wembley who held the event for 33 years. With a new venue comes a new era in my opinion; the era of Judd Trump’s dominance of snooker.
Snooker’s most exciting young player, Judd Trump, sits as joint favourite at 13/2 by most bookmakers.… Read More…
So another Crucible World Championship over and John Higgins wins the Sheffield snooker extravaganza. However it seemed that the world and his dog were cheering on super aggressive (on table, nice lad in real life) Judd Trump.
For those not acquainted with the 21 year old Bristolian follow him on his twitter @judd147t, he updates it during frames.
His style of play is much like that of his practise partner Ronnie O’Sullivan except he smiles more and doesn’t threaten to quit every month.… Read More…
