2017 World Championship

[ADR147]

Fu and Higgins for me.

I hope it's Trump but think it will be Selby, he's just so strong mentally.

Signature nearly as good as phil's 2 x 9 darters, and missed his 8th dart while trying for a 3rd !

( jump to 17:10, then 43:30 , and finally 45:34 ). Both stunning players .

I think this is the first time O´Sullivan hasn´t been top favorit in here before the start of the WC.

To be fair to Taylor his were in a major final, bit harder than on the floor. It was more the way MVG wasn't even bothered that struck me, as if it was nothing lol.

Agreed. The way I feel/act when on a 2nd red, after a red and a black.


Selby for me again this year ( Selby head ruling my Higgins heart ).

[cueman]

so far there hasn't been a China open winner who has gone on to win the World Championship in the same year.
So can Selby break the hoodoo

Not only that but the last 5 winners in china have gone out first or second round in Sheffield. You can peak too soon and I wonder if Selby can maintain his form?

[Gav110]

Judd Trump or John Higgins at 9/2 and 9/1 respectively, both worth serious consideration to lift this years World Championship. Personally would prefer Higgins to achieve his 5th title.

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

lay it then and make a fortune.

What sort of odds would get for him not winning?

[andy carson]

I have gone for other, as I can see it being abandoned when smurf beats ronnie in the opening round as hearn and the BBC will flood the arena with tears over viewing figures on telly

[Neil Taperell]

That can't happen until round 2 surely ??

[PatBlock]

....You can peak too soon and I wonder if Selby can maintain his form?

But has he peaked yet? Although he's not too shabby atm, we've certainly seen him play better. I'm hoping he's got another 5% in reserve somewhere, I quite fancy a Trump v Selby final, tasty. each:

About 5/1 at the moment by the looks of it, but I'm not an authority on betting by any means. Free money, no?

I'm no authority on betting either but would think it's more like 1/5 than 5/1.

It's 5/1 - see for yourself, put your money down and hoover up cash from all the people who think he's a possible winner(Betfair has him joint favourite with Selby)

[richiet]

O'Sullivan is 5-1 to Win.

I'm not sure what he is to Not Win - I don't understand all that exchange betting stuff.
