The value has to lie with Peter Ebdon who despite a dissapointing season to date always seem to bring his best to the Crucible Theatre and excels in the longer format at the Worlds. Another who perhaps is worth an each way shout is Steven Lee outstanding value at 80-1, arguably the finest action in the entire game.

 

[Trigger]

I have to disagree, I think the value is Ebdon's first round opponent, Jamie Cope at 40/1, that has to be THE tie of the round...

Mark Selby will be thereabouts as his 6/1 price suggests and he should confirm his most improved player tag...

And here's to local lad Mark Davis, a 250/1 shot!

 

[bright1064]

Stephen Lee is one for the people who like long odds 80/1 may be worth a flutter??

Imagine the return for your money!!!

 

[Lander]

Where is the Sweepstake?!?

 

[paddy]

Doherty looks reasonable value at 25/1. He's looked quite good this season and he tends to perform best in the longer frame tournaments.

 

[crodonilson]

Live on British Eurosport as we speak, the legend that is Stephen Hendy against newcomer Mark Allen. A sheer privelige watching a genius such as Stephen Hendry on the green baize.

Peter Ebdon is colour blind FACT.

Yesterday he asked the ref 'which is the pink and which is brown'

Funnily enough I actually play snooker with someone who is partially colour blind. He always needs me to tell him the difference between red and brown

Hendy in trouble against gay haired Mark Allan......

Stephen Lee Eng v Joe Swail NI


I f***ing love World Championship Snooker.

Evening session begins in 15 minutes and Steven Lee has it all to do against Joe Swail, 7-2 down.

If Lee can come back it promises to be a thrilling evening of high quality snooker, so far the Championships have not dissapointed.

I like snooker as much (no, probably more) than the average bloke - but are you working for 888.com?

A match between Stephen Lee and anyone can not be described as 'thrilling'. A good workout for the big man, perhaps. Or two hours between pies. But not in any way spellbinding.

I'd like to hear crodonilson's take on this morning's encounter between six-times world champion Steve Davis and the darling of Basildon Stuart Bingham. I think the highest break was when Bingham cleared up from the blue in frame 3 - absorbing...

 

[champion7]

Where is the Sweepstake?!?

sweepstake was drawn weeks ago.

 

[Tooting Gull]

St Leonards' Mark Davis enters the fray today. Good Old Sussex by the Sea - do they let you sing that at the Crucible?

 

[Normal Rob]

Avoiding the obvious joke i'll just pioint out that Mark Williams is also colour blind.

Personally i would rather watch paint dry though.

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

The smart money this year is on Eddie Charlton.

 

[vulture]

davis a sad shadow of himself 6-3 down

davis a sad shadow of himself 6-3 down

Bit harsh he is about 50 and still in the top 16.
