    I’ve been having a few quid on both Trump and Robertson throughout the year.
    I think Robertson will win the whole thing have him at 7’s down.
    Trump at 7’s down aswell although he is a saver on both Robertson and Wilson.
    Have Wilson at 250’s down to 100’s and would be biggest win.

    Robertson took more bad shots than a James Bond villain. He kept blaming the bounce off the cushion and it knocked his confidence. Credit to Holt he played well and beat O’Sullivan recently so no fluke about it.

    Wilson has given himself a chance against Perry leading 5-4 at half time. He was 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2 down and should of been 5-2 down but for a poor miss from Perry. Up until that point Perry had looked the more solid player but Wilson grew in confidence and like I say has given himself a chance tomorrow.

    White has become disappointing recently, I thought he could turn things around this week and he had a chance until Sam Baird played really well in the last 4 frames. He needs to start showing some better form next season to keep his place in the top 16. The same applies to Brecel who has become equally disappointing, he has got plenty of talent but is too inconsistent. Wilson played well tonight to lead Perry and if he can finish the job off tomorrow then anything can happen especially as so many favourites have already gone. If Trump goes tomorrow it will be even more wide open. O’Sullivan may win the tournament but he is no value considering you don’t know what is around the corner and Hawkins is more than capable of giving him a match. Overall I am now leaning towards Ali Carter, he has played well enough to reach 2 world finals and with the top half being so wide open he will do for me at 25-1.

    If you get a chance to see frame 16 of the Perry/Wilson match you should watch it.
    Wilson at his best.

    A well earned win that Nathan. Missed the 16th frame but thought it was going to go wrong for Wilson when Perry fluked the brown and then the snooker on the blue to level at 9-9. Was pleased to see Wilson hold his nerve especially the thin cut on the red into the corner bag in the decider to effectively clinch the match :good:

    I backed Wilson at the start of the match, greened up and then backed him again at 8-7 down and 50 odd points down at 11/4.
    I’ve heard a rumour that Michael White has been suffering with depression which might explain a bit of his in and out game at the moment.

    Not a rumour Nathan. He admitted this himself after his loss. Wonder if Pat would have backed him if he had this info before the World Champs :scratch:

    Until his doctor confirms it, I’m treating it as a rumour…… :rose:

    What a match between Selby and Baird. 11-11 from Baird 11-7 down.
    Baird has got the momentum but you can never write Selby off.

    Strange match between Allen and Wilson.
    If Kyren can keep knocking in the long balls he’ll have a chance against Selby who likes to do things the hard way. Could do with Hawkins knocking out Ronnie, now that would open up the betting.

    Great to see Ding Dong back with a smile.
    That will be an epic semi if Higgins meets him.
    Wilson missed a trick last night, need at least 5-3, almost impossible job now, needs to get 3 of the first 4 frames today or it will be curtains.

    Had Wilson at 18’s for that Indian tournament, he lost in final.
    Not going to get the 250’s for the World Championship like this year, he’s top price 33’s with Paddy but will be already there when it comes around as he will be top 16 player.
    If Wilson isn’t automatically qualified by then I will leave forum and never bet again. He will be better than ever this season that run in the World’s has given him so much confidence and another year’s maturity and experience he will be improving leaps and bounds.
