I can't let you post a link like that in this section especially as you described it as a free site and it is clearly not also the email address you have signed up here with is clearly associated with the owner of that site as the surnames of the whois report on the domain name clearly match.

If you want to post a link to your site their is a members sites section on the forum but be clear about what the site is and what it does, if you charge for a service then state that you charge.

My tip is for Mark Selby to win with best of odds of 13/2 with Hills. Good outside bet for me is Marco Fu.

Think this year it's the most open World Championship just like it has been now for the last few years.

It's Maguire for me - 9/1 on betfair.

Wenbo to beat Ken

Fu to beat Ding

Stevens to win his quarter

Dott or Robertson to win their quarter

O Sullivan to go out in the Quarters

Murphy for the title

no offence fatman but judging by your latest bet on the china open winner you do need some betting tips

[fatman]

tell me about it!

My snippets....

Selby is a major lay. I think he is way too short at 6-1 ish, bearing in mind he has to beat, probably, - Cope/Ebbo, Murphy, Maguire and then the final. If you price up each individual match, then his outright price comes up higher. No doubt a contender and the form horse, but way too short for me.

I like Maguire to be the top Scotsman at 5/4. Hendry and Higgins could both go out very early, and would meet in the QF if not. Dott has gone at the game, is on a long losing run and I expect Perry to beat him in Rnd 1. So Maguire is my man. Again, if you price up their matches individually, then I make Maguire shorter than the 5/4 on offer.

Ronnie to win his quarter at 4/5. I make it 8/15, so it's a bet for me. So often Ronnie looks great in the first week, before throwing in a bad session somewhere. But his quarter is there for the taking, and I expect him to breeze through the first 10 days or so.

Finally! I like Marco Fu to win the top quarter at 9/1, again I made it shorter. I may also have a small dabble on him on betfair for trading purposes.

Any views?

Good luck all

My biggest bet of the week so far....Ryan Day to beat Stephen Hendry. Everything points to Day, recent breakbuilding prowess, his match play is much improved and he is comfortable in the arena.

BACK Ryan Day at Evens

Any other thoughts anyone?

I did a £20 quid double yesterday

perry to beat bingham 4/6
wenbo to beat swail 4/7

They are both leading 9-7 so it pays aboout 65 quid i think, if it comes off

[studavis]

Just a bit of a brag but I took Ebdon to win it a 40-1 on betfair, traded him off after his match the other day (can't see him winning it to be fair) for a very healthy profit. Very nice. Was going to do the same with Hendry but never took the plunge.

Might do something around Day or Maguire but with the remaining players I'll probably play on a frame by frame basis as there hasn't been any great consistency to speak of as yet IMO.

[leroy86]

Yeah I have a bit of Ebdon on the outright, but am leaving it as I think he will beat Carter. A few books make it each of two which is wrong imo, Ebdon has to be favourite on every stat going this year and in the past

[snookerfran]

I lost the 4 quid I put on Mark J.
