Can't understand why Ronnie pulled out. I thought this would be right up his street and he looked like he really enjoyed last years tournament !!

Who was number 65 who got a lucky place in it? I believe it was Michael White. Son of Jimmy?

I believe it was Michael White. Son of Jimmy? No !! But he looks the hottest prospect of the new guys from last year !!! He's been winning quite a few rounds in the qualifiers and done well in the PTC's. It's tough getting up the ranks in Snooker. It's a damn site easier in Tennis !!!

Michael White's definitely one to keep an eye on for the future.
He's a young Welsh player who earned a place on the tour at the age of 15 a few years ago. He didn't keep his place (not helped by the fact he wasn't allowed to play in pro events until he turned 16) but managed to get back on the Tour in 2009 and is now looking like being in the top 64 at the end of the season.

The shoot out is one of those tournaments that will probably see an outsider come through and win. Everyone there is capable of clearing the table given a chance ! Enjoyed seeing Nigel Bond winning last year !

Unusual betting patterns regarding the Selt-Jogia match have been reported by World Snooker. An unusually high number of bets have been placed on Selt to win.
As things stand, the match is scheduled to go ahead.
There was a similar case at last year's Shoot-Out in the match between Marcus Campbell and Jimmy Michie. Michie retired from snooker immediately following the match. No action was taken against either player.
In other news, there will be five ranking events in China next season. In addition to the China Open, Shanghai Masters and World Open, the Wuxi Classic in July will be upgraded to ranking status and there will be a brand new tournament in October with a top prize of £125,000.

Joe Jogia will be under big pressure now to make sure he tries or look like he's trying in the match otherwise he'll be under a similar investigation.
The shoot-out lends itself to match fixing !!

You have to wonder whether it's wise to make such things public before the match takes place. I remember the Maguire-Burnett match at the UK Championship a few years ago when a large number of bets on Maguire to win 9-3 had been reported. Burnett had to pot the black to reduce the deficit to 8-4 and missed it by a mile - didn't even touch the jaws. Deliberate miss or huge amount of pressure?

Personally if I was chairman of world snooker I'd have kept things very quiet then scrutinise the match ! The players, if they were involved in anything fishy, will just have to go into it as if all bets are off !!!

Joe Jogia has now pulled out for medical reasons !!!!!! He is to be replaced in the draw by Rod Lawler.
And Mark Allen has been fined £250 for swearing at a press conference during last months UK Championships. I think he can consider himself quite lucky really.

Apparently the flurry of bets on Selt to win were from Jogia's mates who knew he'd hurt himself and could barely walk so they piled their cash on him to lose...

Perhaps it's as well he dropped out to take the heat away from him a bit. Can't imagine what level of betting would alert the bookies like that. Not from a few mates I'm sure !!

Depends how much they were putting on. If it was large sums, that would be enough to get the bookies' attention.

Trouble is once the people who work in the bookies realise this, they tell all their mates and so on !!! I've had a couple of tips from a mate who works at Head Office of a leading bookmaker. Sadly for me one was the Grand National and the other the Eurovision and they both bombed out !!
