Apologies for the lack of posts but the first couple of days of the international week have been slow and bare in terms of good bets, but there are a couple today.
6pm Holland to beat Norway Evens (WON +8.64 - Holland edged a tight game 1-0)
Holland sit atop a group they would expect to dominate, having won in Macedonia and at home to Iceland on Saturday. Norway meanwhile have drawn both their games, at home to Iceland and away to Scotland on Saturday. They have failed to win at home in the European Champs Qualifying last season, losing to Turkey and drawing with Greece. Holland are up there with the best again these days, and so evens seems worth taking advantage of.
Ronnie O'Sullivan to win the Royal London Watches Grand Prix 2/1 (LOST +7.64 - Went out to Judd Trump 5-4 in Quarters)
Ronnie is a strange beast - depressive, genius, nutter, call him what you will, its undeniable he is one of the greatest ever cuemasters and may be the best. Yesterday he went 2-0 down to Liang Wenbo, before rattling off 5 frames in a row to set up a rematch with Marco Fu, who he lost to in the final of this competition last year. And in the post-match interviews yesterday Ronnie said he didn't feel he was playing well and didn't expect to win matches, but was happy when he did because he wasn't expecting to. Well I wish I could play any sport that badly! So far this season he has won 14 out of 15 matches in ranking tournaments - the one loss being a final! And the run goes back longer than that given he won 5 on his way to the World Championships at the end of last season. And with noone looking like they have the sort of form or talent to match O'Sullivan, 2/1 looks generous. Maybe with a hedge if he gets to the final but lets just back the man first.
