Nottingham Snooker Forum

With the exciting Betfreds world championships snooker 2011 rapidly approaching on the snookering  calender, i thought it would be a good new idea for snooker enthusiasts of Nottingham to do our very own sweepstake for the world championships 2011!!!

Now we have the final 32 players that make up this years first round draw, i thought it would be a great ideal time to start a sweepstake!!!

Although i would love to have a £5 stake to boot the prize pot, i thought it's best to keep it fun and friendly to everyone! So i was thinking "Friendly £3!"

HOW IT WORKS.....?
£3 x 32 = £96 Total Prize Pot
Winner £40
Runner Up £20
Semi Finalist £10
Semi Finalist £10
Highest Break £16
Total Prize Pot £96!!!

This will simply work on a first come first serve basis, Pay your £3 and you are in the 2011 world championship sweepstake draw! I think to give everyone a chance to get a piece of the action i will have to restrict one play per person so we have a ray of different players in the hat!!!

Once the 32nd £3 is finally collected and all the £96 Total prize Money is all collected, then and only then the draw will be made!!! The draw will take place a week before the world championships which starts on 16th April!!! The Draw will be made @ BCI snooker centre, my great trusted Bci Super Elites Team mates like James Moore, Barry Stark, Bash Maqsood, Jason Bettridge will do the draw on the night!!! The draw will be put online under this post so you will all know which professional is playing for you throughout the world championships!!!

There are only 32 places so once they are gone they are gone. Please feel free to register your interests and thoughts... Please Note your place is not Guaranteed Unless i have received and have confirmed online that you are in!!!

I'll be the first to put £3 in  :thumbup:

EXAMPLES!!!
1) Cpt Kwok Yip & Cpt Ali Carter
2) Steve Butler & Steve Davis
3) Mike Langdon & John Higgins
4)
5)
6)
7)
32) Please note i need to wait untill all 32 places have been sold before you know which professional you have playing for you!!!


Here are the last 32 professionals that made the last 32 draw!!!

Neil Robertson(1)  v  Judd Trump
Marco Fu(16)  v  Matin Gould

Cpt Kwok :smokey:

Kwok, count me in. I backing Stephen lee. I got a further 50 quid on him at 150/1.

Just had a game of darts at bci and got a fantastic 44 dart finish against Jo. Ended on my favourite double - double 1.

Can't play it to save my life, but love to watch it.

Me and Sean got serious tip problems. I think I found one I now like, but mind you, I said that about the other 9 I put on since last week. Very frustrated at mo. Hopkins on his 5th this week. Every time I see him he's changed his tip.

Nav it's your fault after introducting us to the taliban.

Now seams really messed up, but I'm ok cause o was messed up anyway.

Bash

I'm sure you will find the right tip, just have faith boys.

Alright Nav,

Are you or any of your great Pegasus team mates interested in entering the Nottingham World Championship Snooker 2011 Sweepstake...?

I'm sure we still got a Ko plate match @ Pegasus next week against your C Team!

So if any of you guys are interested I'll be up your neck of the woods next Tuesday ok!  ;)

Only £3 to enter guys!!! Dig deep  :laugh:

Alternatively you can pass any payments to good old Wayne, who I'm sure won't mind dropping it in while next passing  ;)

Alright kwok, may be, dont know, i think about it lol  ;) Will keep you updated, thanks

Count me in Kwok...great idea :thumbup:

Cheers Bash & Mike, I'll put both your names down  :thumbup:

Nav - Do you want to use one of your 3 life lines 50/50, Phone a friend or ask the audience..? :laugh:

Put me in Kwok. I'll see you MOnday night. We are at BCi and you are at Spot On. I have to go to Spot On to see James.

Im only interested if i win kwok  :laugh: :laugh:

Put me in Kwok please, Ill give you the £3 tomorrow!  :thumbup:

NAV! what have you done to me lol! Put a talisman tip on friday night, Went yesterday for a half an hours pratice before i played Chris Clark, Still didnt make my mind up while i was praticing, When i played Chris we have play for like 3-4hours, Couldn't get any breaks put together, Bash walked in and i thought, 'just the man i need' the tip was off in no time, I suppose they suit certain players and its defonatly not me, Just felt like by the time it got shaped and everything there wasnt much left of the tip.

The pressures getting to me big time, Big tournment next saturday and dont want to go there knowing im going to be knocked out because im not prepared. Bash come and get god to give me some of his magic powers!! Anyway after i got home after playing chris clark, Around 4:30ish, Sat down couldn't get this tip problem out my head.. What happened next...? I went back down to bci at 7:45 to try this new tip. Only had 2 frames but had 2 nice breaks in both frames, Hopefully this tip is the one, Might have a day off though because as Bash said to me, Im playing far too much at the minuite knowing ive got this big tournment coming up next saturday.

Hows your tip now Bash.. Sorry i didn't say much to you before i went from the club yesterday, This tip buisness is recking my head big time!!!! only 7 days to go!!!

See you soon.

:thumbup:

as you say Sean, the talisman tip may suit certain players and not others. I personally found them too hard and lost the "feeling" in the shot. I initially only thought about using them because i heard they last a lot longer than an elkmaster. However, for me personally, i dont think its suitable. The tip, as you know is so important, and so i think i will stick to elkmaster.

As for mine Sean, i am happy with it. I had a few frames with the "bci ghost of table 7" and would say i was very happy with it and played well. Once its bedded in proper i should be on form again. Watch out lads !!!!

Bash

Listen lads, talisman tips may be ok for one player then another, but most players are moving away from single layered tips. You will not get used to talisman tips right away as they are much stronger then elk and blue diamond. But after a week with it, you will get used to them. Ronzo wouldn't use em if they were poor or Higgins wouldn't use kuumi tips and they cost more then talisman at 9 pound per tip. Eventually you will see the light my fellow snooker players .

stop it Nav, me and Sean are only just coming over the taliban episode, we would rather not joint the african tribe Kuumi Kuumi "Kinta Kinta -- Sean's really upset now because his granddad just beat him 4-0 at bci this morning .

His next match is with kunta kinta in the African Jungle - but from what i remember from "roots" i think Kunta Kinta had lost his hand 9or was it foot) and will be playing with one of Nav's Kuumi kuumi Tips - so i think you may win that one sean

Bash
medication is now finshed

Lol!  :laugh:

Ill see you back down bci in about a hour Bash, Just having my sunday dinner!  :blush:

Just a "tip" about your sunday dinner - dont eat any mushy peas cause i dont want to be smelling your farts around BCI this afternoon !!

OH deaaring me, please plaease  bringing me a very very nice sunday english dinner with bradford pudding.

Ali - Thousand apology

This may be the only occasion when I will be wanting Shaun Murphy to win!

:laugh:

Cheers kwok for your Congratulations.

I think you may have to do the draw again. Just a word of advice, what you do is put 32 names in a hat and, magic tricks aside, then 32 names should come out. If you, Sean and the others at bci need any assistance, then I be happy to send my baby 2 old to give a helping hand.
:laugh: :laugh:

Oh blimy
Ali

Steve- Yes I'm sure Super Silky Smooth Cueist, former World Champion Shaun Murphy will do well for you in this years World Championships :thumbup:

Not sure about my Harry Potter look alike Martin Gould! Fingers crossed he has some magic in him and aces up his sleeve being a croupier! :laugh:

100% Random draw guys, well done if you got a good draw! Mike feel free to strangle the snake tonight!  :laugh:  

Saying that, I haven't a clue who he is! He could be one of them fantastic professionals that has a awsome debut at the World Championships, You never know!

All I can say is any professional who makes it to Sheffield World Championships Now days is more than capable of producing the goods.
Five good chances of prizes up for grabs! With the highest break prize, it'll make intresting viewing! If your in it, you can win it!!! :thumbup:

Bash - You've got a good chance with Mark Allen! You know if we could play pairs with the pro you have been drawn with, Ali help anyone who draws you two!!!

Cant believe your moaning about Mark Allen Bash. Do you want to swap for Barry Hawkins lol!!!!  :laugh:

Sorry Mike, We was all having a right laugh when we pulled out Andrew Pagett, We was all saying.. 'Whos the proffesional here then? Mike Langdon or Andrew Pagett?' I thought Kwok put him in for a laugh lol!!!!

Sorry matey!  :drink: :blush:

No sorry Bash. I'll stick with what i got.

SNAKE!!!! :laugh:

what the ......, who is this Andrew Pagett anyway? Does he have a decent handicap  :oops:

Im so sorry Mike!  :oops:

I just thought i'd search him and he looks very nice in his pink waistcoat lol!!!!  :laugh:

Hes off +42  :raspberry:

Thanks for Harry Potter as well Snake!!!

Hope this guy can do some magic @ this years world championship!!!

Maybe swap his cue for a broomstick to mop up Lol :laugh:

You gotta laugh!!!

Sorry about the draw Mike, blame the Snake  :laugh:

:england:

Not that i'm being pushy Steve, but just noticed that all matches have been played in the comps (hoooraaay!) except Kwok v Bell.

Perhaps the next round draws can be done today to save us staying up till midnight tomorrow !!

Also, i got an e-mail earlier this week from world snooker about the Q- school and they said they will be doing the draw today to coincide with the world championship. I have not heard anything yet, but if you do manage to find the draw, perhaps let me know and stick it on the forum.

Cheers

Bash

Appologies for the delay guys :sorry:

I've been giving Paul a "Bell!" since week one of the draw, but he has been very busy with all his singles league matches and indeed work! But I have managed to get him to play tomorrow afternoon! Talk about lastmin.com!!!

I'll text you the result tomorrow Steve Asap!
then forward match report on forum later ok :thumbup:

The world Championship snooker has just kicked off!!! Good luck to all players in the Nottingham sweepstake  :thumbup:

Nice to see your man hanging in there Mike at 4-4  :thumbup:

Good luck matey, it's a tough first round draw against Jamie Cope!!! Fingers crossed he get a nice break for you :thumbup:


Williams is looking very good and relaxed as ever around the table at the mo!!! Neil Elliott will be pleased to see so far  :drink:
137 Break  Williams / Elliott  :bravo:

Kwok, you don't nee to apologise matey, as the deadline is tomorrow. Does Paul bell still play wearing his track suit bottoms and trainers?

Good luck with your new cue kwok and  hope that new cue  does the damage to Mr Bell:

I think Malc Belshaw has actually booked that "outdoor" table to play his crucial league match against Lee crombie. Good luck Lee.

Bash

You'll get Plenty of power and follow through with that cue hey bash  :laugh: :laugh:

Cheers Matey :thumbup:

Has there been any more BIG Or Higher breaks over 137 Yet...? Or does the break of 137 stand for the highest break for all the action in day 1 of the championships!!!
