Not sure myself. Selby is probably the favourite out of the 4 that are left, but maybe just maybe Kyren Wilson's name is on the trophy after getting the bye in the 1st round.

We had a fair few "easy week's shopping" believers many years ago when I worked in a butcher's that was three doors down from Ladbrokes.It was sad watching them come in and cancel their Christmas turkey or Sunday roast and go home with a bag of sausages or a bit of belly pork.

Between that and my paternal grandfather's love of a flutter, I was cured for life.

Selby is down 5 frames to 3 yesterday after playing like a WMC Christmas handicapper.

That won't happen again!! Enter the "A Game" this afternoon.

I have never put one foot in a betting shop unless you count a PMU in France.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

I can't say the same - but only because I was sent to find the old fella as a nipper or because I was the general dogsbody when I started as a butcher's boy and got the job of putting on the old boy's bets if the shop was busy.

Nothing wrong with a pint or six even, but gambling is a mugs game in my opinion. A tax on stupidity. Once in a blue moon I might buy a lottery ticket but that is about it.

I used to go to the PMU but only for fags and beer. I always thought that gambling was more civilised in France where you can put on a bet and then watch the race with a drink and a smoke.

For those who don't know there are no private bookmakers in France, only the PMU which is a bit like the old TOTE before it was privatised.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

All,

I don't think we have (whatever you're talking about). Been to Vegas and take $25.00 so I can have the free drink. wander around watching people (I enjoy people watching) put $12.50 back in my pocket and I am done

I also enjoy neighborhood poker games but mostly from a social aspect. 

I cannot remember betting on the outcome of an event
