In Response to Re: Snooker World Championship : Wish i had £400 on Ronnie. Can't see anything other than an easy win. Loving this thread. Gone with Robbie Williams + 5.5 handicap v Neil Robertson. 5/6 Posted by 1267
Just for disclosure I have absolutely no affiliation to Betting Emporium whatsoever. However it is run by Jow Beevers and Neil Channing (you may have heard of them, if not google them) They DO NOT charge for all of their service, in fact at the moment most of their content is free, all you have to do is sign up to access the free stuff, there is no charge for signing up. They give info on a wide range of events and if anything it could add a lot of valuable reasearch to you own thoughts even if you don't follow their advice. It is true that they have started to charge for some services like the Cheltenham Festival and Aintree however anyone that did sign up (I did) got amazing value for the content and were in profit at the end of it. You mention level stakes, I'm not sure why as there recommends are not to level stakes, Neil will recommend based on points eg 12 points each way. You as the customer decide what those points mean to you. For me it was £1 a point for others it could be £5 a point. That's why they achieved the results they did. Which by the way if you sign up you can read all of the write ups and recommends for all services even the paid ones. All of the bets were single each ways or wins. Just so happens amounts others Neil had the winner of both the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National.
You may be aware that Neil also owned Black Belt Poker which is why you probably got the email. Anyway thought I would put a bit of clarity to your post as it seems you are a bit sceptical of the service they provide. Your choice but i certainly would recommend at least signing up to read all the reviews and content, you certainly are not forced to pay anything at all and lots of people probably don't agree with what they write, but many of us are a lot richer because of them.
Joe also started a thread on another forum. Both he and Neil (Badbeat is his forum name) will happily respond to any question you may want to fire at them.
I've provided the link but the mods may or may not take it down as it's for another forum.
Looking at my options here on the exchanges, seems I don't have many. I'm heavily on the ale tonight, so the chances of me being awake @ 10 in the morning are slim to none. Gonna cost me £200ish to get out now. Is there any value in putting some money on Perry for the match as opposed to laying Ronnie for the tournament? Then hope Ronnie sorts his head out, smashes Murphy/Fu early next round and take it back? I aint taking a £200 loss so if there's no other options it's going to run. Perry 5/4 to win the match fwiw.

I don't think you have a terrible situation with your bet. If it was me I would let it ride. Ronnie is without doubt the best player in the tournament and everyone is allowed an off session or two. If it goes pear shaped I'd just put it down as a learning experience, but I would take Ronnie against the field (and I have at 2.75). It would not surprise me to see him wim the next session hands down. Your money though dohhhhhhhh, but laying it back now for a loss is (for me) a negative ev move.
Oh ronnie, wtf were u doing with that red!? That could be the killer blow.
Nice post by omm above. Agree about betting emporium, only recently discovered it myself. They give some great tips, & detailed reasoning behind all the tips, & nearly all of it is free!
Can I say that I have nothing against betting emporium in particular.
I think its impossible to back winners over time and when they post things saying they got 11 horses placed in 21 races at Aintree I genuinely do doubt that.
If you're that good you'd be retired within a week.
I'll take you up on 1 point though.
"12pts each way"
My point stake is £4 and I would have to punt £96 to follow that particular tip you mention. This is extremely risky and doesn't encourage responsible gambling. Granted its good if it comes in.
I will also apologise for ranting and being facetious and hopefully they bring you some more winners over the weekend.
In the end, as I had no real idea what I was doing I just left it.
I wasn't even sure how to go about laying a bet, betfair shows the price, then a number underneath. The £ numbers were often way too small for what I'd need to bet (or lay).
I should just give up and stick to punting. Can't beat the 'all or nothing' scenario for entertainment, and that was pretty exciting for only round 2!
Very confident of making the final now, if he was going to lose before meeting Selby/Robertson it would've been today.
Worth waking up for even if the room was spinning throughout

That's all.
Signed up to the betting emporium this morning.

Fella suggests Mcmanus will beat Docherty. 8/11 too short for me to go big on again.....
Think a playoff chasing Brighton will P all over an all but relegated Yeovil at home tonight, so added that to make a 1.27/1 double.
A certainty + a Certainty normally = a loss, but gamboooooooool anyway
Ronnie is going to win 8-0 this afternoon, and twitter says Super Kev could return for Dehli this morning too.
Today is going to be a good day !
Finally Perry makes a couple of mistakes.
He's been flawless up to that stage.
Rush of blood . Come on Ronnie
