DRAW

ORDER OF PLAY

Don't suppose this is going to be on proper telly?

I´m so f***ing tired of this sh*t now. All i want is to see a fair and proper stream of snooker, but nowadays it seems to be impossible.

I feel i must look after a betting site that are streaming. Do u have any tip for me who is the best? And no, not Bet365 because u can´t get fullscreen and i am also banned there for ever, and no not unibet because u cant get fullscreen there and i am banned for six months there., and no not 1Xbet, because they have a lot of advertising all over the picture so you can´t see the snooker. Do anyone know a betting site that will show Indian Open and where it is nice and flowing pictures, and where u can choose to see in fullscreen?

Please god, help me!!!!

An alternative is to put in some dollars on bet365 anyway and make an account there even if i am blocked. They will block me again but let me have the money there so i can see the snooker.

But they don´t have fullscreen. Gaaah!!!!!! Give me advice of other betting sites that will stream Indian Open!!!!

Will Eurosport Player stream? I can´t find information about it on their Swedish site. Nothing about snooker. Don´t wanna pay if it´s not any snooker there. How do i know???

As I can see right now on my ES player schedule, there will be live streaming fron India.

I can't understand, though, why they don't show anything on their proper channels...

Too much Wimbledon and Tour De France on Eurosport at the moment.

Yeah i think I can see it too now :) It will cost me 7-8 dollars, just to see the snooker!

Since they stopped stream at Livesport, there´s much fewer streams out there. Eurosport Player now owns the rights so it looks like we all must get Eurosport player to see the snooker

Is it possible to unsuccessfully defend his title? :P

Now you mention it, the term #successful defence' though commonly used, doesn't make a lot of sense. In that you defend your title, or you don't. There's not really a difference between a successful defence, and a defence. It's like saying a dead corpse or a true fact. It's one word too many.

Saying that, it's a bit of a pedantic point.

I would say there is a big difference between just "a defence" and "a successful defence". The error is to say someone who successfully defended a title merely managed "a defence"; this is because "the defence" is the act of defending regardless of outcome, otherwise to suggest that someone is a "defending champion" would make no sense in the present tense. To say someone "failed to defend" is also wrong unless they didn't actually play.

However, as the point of defending is to eventually win the title (or stop another from winning) then a defence can be successful or unsuccessful in that regard. Hence, it is possible to "unsuccessfully defend a title", particularly if you go out early in the tournament. A journey as defending champion to the final could, perhaps, be classed as "moderately successful", or maybe "moderately unsuccessful", while...(Oh dear, I've even managed to bore myself here.)

A couple of wild cards through to the next round. Wonder if Hamza Akbar was advised not to go on security grounds?

Fang Xiongman draws the short straw of getting Advani as a wildcard.

Some good points there, man.

I was gonna suggest the world snooker tv service as well but I just noticed it's been cancelled http://www.worldsnooker.livesport.tv/

It appears they are merging with ES player which makes totally sense.

Streamed matches

Principal reasons. I don´t think i should need to pay just too see some snooker. Whatever it is, too see some hours of something i should not pay

I think i have right too see a free stream from it. As I always have done. But propably now i must buy eurosport player for tomorrow, i have no choice if i want a good nice streaming of it.

Why are you banned from bet365 btw?

Rubbish. No form. Jimmy is just battling it away to stay in the match and in the tournament. Swail leading 3-2, 34-42. Best of 7.

This is just livescore-wise, don´t know any details about the match. I have a one link (crickfree.tv) where to possible watch it, but can´t be bothered right now.

dafaq is happening in the Poomjang's match? he was in a break and the ref just left

Looks like they are doing some fixing to the table with another dude...

seems they solved the problem, Poom didn't get distracted on the next difficult shot although the break ended on a rest shot then knocked in another good 50ish break to win the frame. 2-1 now.

Spot on! Advani won 4-2...
He now meets Elliot Slessor in the main draw - he'll fancy his chances in that, too.

Why should entertainment be free? Sport is a business. When you go to the pub, do you expect free beer? :P

In my pub, the Landlord sometimes buys a drink for the regulars. You have to be known to him and have spent a lot of money in there previously though. So it's more of a loyalty scheme.

Disappointing 0-4 loss for Aditya Mehta in his home tournament (vs. Jimmy Robertson).
Meanwhile, defending champion, Michael White is just starting out in his match against Anthony Hamilton.

Mark King has crashed out, losing 1-4 to Rory McLeod, despite knocking-in a 142 break.

I must apologise for that performance. . There still a lot of work to be done yet. #IndianOpen #keepthefaith
