You tried, and you failed miserably. The important thing to remember is - never try. UK Open round 5

My god what an absolute shitshow that evening session was. Be it van Veen running into peak Cross, Veenstra making an absolute pig's ear of 140 in six for the match, Pratnemer somehow losing to Lukasiak or me mistakenly thinking Menzies might be able to win a big match, everything went wrong. Outside of Gotthardt beating Sykes. From a peak where we were up 20%, and a couple of legs away from being that way at the end of round 3, after round two we are more than down 20%. Which sounds a lot, but we are betting fairly aggressively and will put up to 10% in play on any given bet. Let's try and rebuild in the last 32.

Pilgrim/Clayton - 26/74

Suljovic/Bunting - 25/75

Wright/Noppert - 15/85

Nijman/Price - 32/68

Rock/Gruellich - 90/10

Doets/Littler - 13/87

de Decker/Cross - 52/48

Lukasiak/Ratajski - 4/96

Gotthardt/van Gerwen - 15/85

Humphries/Chisnall - 91/9

Joyce/Barry - 57/43

Searle/M Smith - 65/35

Yeah. Some of those matches are not going to be pretty. Eleven of 16 which are basically 3-1 one way or the other (and a lot bigger than that in many)? For fuck's sake. Oh well.

Edit - I'm at football and leaving in about half an hour from this post and won't be back at the master computer until way into the evening session. So expect no round 6 stuff.
