Victorian Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Murphy is playing really well. His long potting is outrageous and he's hitting everything really positively. This is some group of quarter finalists and Murphy isn't even one of the 'best 4'. He needs to stay close to Trump as he has a poor record of coming back from a deficit against the better players. I reckon if Trump gets about 4 ahead at any time it's virtually over. He'll beat Trump given half a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Then you look at Selby and ask who the **** is going to live with him. He's the nearest anyone has looked to the robotic perfection of Steve Davis of the late 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Final frame decider for McGill again. He never gives up. Was 10-7 up again Bingham, but then Bingham won 5 in a row to be 1 frame away from the semi before McGill won the next 2 to draw level again.

Victorian Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Unlucky for McGill. Bingham will be a real threat if he keeps his high scoring up. Murphy coming good vs Trump. Almost home and dry at 10-6. Any player left looks a good chance of winning but Trump is in big trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Please God not a Selby vs Wilson final. Two monster players but a grinding robot vs a boring *****. Bingham vs Murphy would be brilliant but it's not likely. Both favourites are capable of going well clear in their matches and it's going to be some effort for either underdog to stick close through into a 4th session. Selby by 8+ frames and Wilson by 6+. But please no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Selby -5.5 / Wilson -3.5 double pays 6/1. Bet365 aren't offering wider handicap odds and it's understandable because a couple of biggish wins are very possible and my prediction would probably be at least 24/1. That 6/1 looks very, very good though so an interest bet placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NANOJAMBO Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Murphy was 1-0 up and has Wilson tied up in knots in the 2nd but blows it. Looks like he's about to lose 5 on the bounce having lost his rag earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Can't take to Murphy. He thought he was a Billy big-time a few years ago but claiming he could be a golf tour pro.

neilnunb Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Can't stand either. Weird to think Selby could go level with Higgins it world titles. Maybe biased but I don't think he is anywhere near Higgins' level. I'll probably be wanting Murphy to wallop him simply due to Selby still playing on when needing about 15 snookers. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
