On the other side of the coin I've already lost 3 of my last 8 and we are only halfway through the 1st round!

Story of my month so far! Can't wait for May to come.

Hi betking , Still along way to go, four 1st round matches to be settled and I see you still have 6 players left outright, I think if Ebdon beats Ronnie 18-14 in the final and O'sullivan makes a 145 along the way you will win it!

Stephen Hendry beat David Gilbert 10-7

Everyone predicted the correct result, nobody predicted the correct score.

deco121 leads the way with 35 points, predicting 9 out of 12 correct results, including 2 correct scores. andyclark57 is just behind with 31 points, predicting 9 out of 12 correct results, including 1 correct score.
