Snooker - International Championship 2017

The tournament will take place in Daqing China from October 29 to November 5.

[Macot]

My first ideas are:
Stevens to beat Zhao Xintong @2,00. Stevens with the new cue is improving, he of course a lot more expirienced player, if he can find his past form, he will beat players like Zhao easily.

Yuan Li v Lika Brecel, Li (+2,5) AH @2,20. Li improving, already won against Maguire, Brecel always gives away unnecesary frames. Note that this is played in China, so home advantage, not so unimportant, although on the other side, Brecel won his first ranking title in China this season. 4-6 is possible here.

Lu Haotian to beat Yu Delu @2,55, Yu Delu with poor season, Lu Haotian coming, upwards form, tight contest.

Hosein Vafaei (-1,5) AH to beat Akani S. @2,00, for me a very good offer, Vafaei with his best season, a very good player, can beat the best. Akani also with solid season, but I see Iranian as a lot better player. My call is 6-3 or about.

Peter Abdon to beat Ricky Walden @2,30, for me a great offer. Ebdon has a very solid season, he improved a lot this season, very tactical minded player, slowish. Walden on the other side, very poor season so far, but it is true he won his two ranking tournamnets in China. Still, I see value on Ebdon.

Lisowski to beat Hawkins @3,00, fantastic value, Lisowski is coming off 1/4 finals in English Open, also beast his friend, Trump. Great talent that did not deliver yet, not consistant enough, very attacking minded. On the other side unrecognizable Hawkins, terrible form, lost many deciders, also against players like Zifan, no confidence at the moment.

Li Hang to beat Gilbert @2,60, Chinese player already one simifinals and one quarterfinals this season, Gilbert a solid player, against home soil advantage for Li Hang... 6-4 or about.

Robert Milkins to beat Graeme Dott @2,23, Milkins in very solid form recently, two oldies, but Dott looks to be totally out of form.

Bit unlucky there with Peter Ebdon. He was leading 5-1 against Ricky Walden but lost 5-6 in the end... Oh well, **** happens...

For tomorrow I do like Lisowski at 3 to beat Hawkins. Lisowski is in good form unlike Hawkins...

I also like Mark Joyce to beat Anthony McGill at 3 which you have posted elsewhere. Last time these 2 met a few months ago Joyce beat McGill. This seems a pretty even contest, I'm not sure why McGill is favored by this margin...

Finally, I will go with Li Hang to beat Gilbert @ 2.62. Again this seems like a 50/50 contest to me.

Moreover, I've taken Vafaei to beat Akani.

[WiserthantheCrowd]

In addition to your tips, Macot, I am also taking Guodong -2,5 vs. Sharaf. Sharaf is in pretty poor form and Guodong should beat him handily. I am expecting something like 6-1 or 6-2.

[Macot]

Hi mate. Yes after Ebdon tragedy today things are going perfectly well we will be 3/0 if li hang does not lose his 5:1 advantage too. But that would be too much. Lisiwski easy winner and joyce 5:2 up and handicap won too. ***9786;

[Macot]

Vafaei obviously did not arrive so that one is void. Li hang made 67 now and that will do for perfect 3/0 today with 40 units profit. Milkins plays at 12:30. ***9786;

YES! Lisowski, Li Hang and Joyce all won their matches easily. Great job!!!

Can someone please confirm if the game Ayouri H. V. 0-6 Songsermsawad A. did not took place, as i had a single bet on Ayouri H. V. and the bet is considered as lost, even if the rules says that if the game does not take place the bet will be considered as Void.
I contacted them, and they gave me this link http://livescores.worldsnookerdata.c...mpionship-2017

Please help.

It did not take place. It was a walkover. I got my money refunded from Betfair. Who did you place the bet with?

Thanks for the answer, planetwin365

[WiserthantheCrowd]

If you go on flashscore.com and click on the score, it tells you that Ayouri did not show up. Might just be poor research by PlanetWin365 rather than them trying to cheat you out of your money. But you should insist.

Yes its maybe just poor research by the bookie, or it is done on purpose so that they hope that the bettors won't notice it.
They're insisting that the game took place, worries me. Lets see what happens.

I would not be worried. It's easy to prove that the game did not take place. I'd be more worried if they said that the game counts for some other reason...

if you go to worldsnooker you will see that all frames are 0:0 ... just send them print screen.

And Guodong beats Sharaf 6-2.

Milkins beats Dott (I didn't bet on that one) but nice to see! Great stuff, Macot!!!

The rocket man imploded and got beaten by the wonder kid 6-1. Who saw that coming? To be frank, Ronny was playing really poorly today. Maybe, he's still sobering up after his last victory...
