Snooker

Another winning snooker correct score. I'm sure a few of you must have written it off at 5-2 like I did, which makes it all the sweeter. So today its just snooker again.

1 Maguire bt Selby 8/13 doubled with Doherty to bt Murphy 11/8, 2.84/1 (LOST +28.63 - the first leg looked in the bag as Maguire moved to 5-3, but Selby denied us, before, as always happens Ken Doherty obliged with a storming comeback of his own. Hopefully you might have backed him outright after Maguire lost, as to come back from 4-1 down to win 6-5 with three century breaks in four frames was impressive, and he could yet go all the way if he keeps playing the way he is)
Maguire is the form player on tour this season and while Mark Selby is by no means the worst, I don't see him troubling the favourite for the tournament this afternoon. 8/13 is a fair price, but to enhance the value, I would suggest doubling it with Ken Doherty. As you will have seen earlier in the week, he turned in a stylish performance to beat Mark Williams, and if he can reproduce anywhere near that level, his form of old, then 11/8 will quickly fall in running.
