Dear snooker member,
The three quarter finals left look difficult to bet on. We do have Bingtao effectively to win at 8.00 for his quarter. Murphy (13.00) scraped through yesterday to play Allen. Joining Bingtao (51.00) leaving us in a promising each-way outright position.
Selby v Maguire
Looks a match to swerve between two generally inconsistent performers this season. Both have had a few great tournaments this season but also a few more abject displays than ideal.
Perry v Bingtao
First time these two have ever played, Perry has the experience of playing in the televised/main table on Tuesday. Overall Perry has a below average record in quarter finals however, I was surprised to see his price open 2.20. Possibly the bookies now over reacting after all season under rating Bingtao. There is also ranking connotations for both players in this match to consider not that I expect either to have an adverse reaction.
Generally a difficult match to call. I will hedge our Bingtao quarter bet if he gets in front (in-play telegram channel).
Murphy v Allen
I will be back with my thoughts on this match tomorrow because today’s results may have a bearing on Allen’s mindset and whether or not we have a bet.
