Yes, he looks very likely to regain his Tour Card via the 1-year list.
He's managed to finish in the ideal position, just outside the top-80, which means he gets an easy match against an amateur to win £5000. Two of his rivals, Chen and Xu, are just inside the top-80 seeds, which means they will have to win to stay on tour, against White and Mann in round 2. They will be under huge pressure.
Likely that Jimmy's rival, Stephen Hendry, will have an inter-generational matchup with either Zhao Jianbo or Brandon Sargeant.

Just like Ding won it last year.

This year is 40 years since Jimmy first played in the World Championship. In that time he has reached the one table stage ten times. This means he has a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of doing so this year.

You are not allowing for his decline over time.

You can't argue with science Dan. KrazeeEyezKilla has used an algorithm.

Ah, but divide that by his practice form, and you have a clearer picture. It takes him up to a one in three chance

I lost my house and car when I gambled it on Ding winning the World championship cos Pin Ball said so. So I am going to put my organs on Jimmy winning the world championship this year. Double or bust.

Jimmy was great player in his time but the sad thing about his career is for more than about 50% of it he has been a journeyman pro you could argue.

Not as good as that. A typical journeyman pro does just enough to stay on tour and earn a modest living. Jimmy's had to rely on invitation tour cards.

Jimmy White is not the people's champion, he's the people's chump.
That is something Vince McMahon would say!

Respect fellows please. Jimmy was and is the one and only people's champion. So many people took up the game because of his influence and he has always been a man of the people. Alex Higgins? Do me a favour. Only ever had one person in his mind. Ronnie? That's a laugh too.
I wish people would leave him alone. More than just about anyone, JImmy deserves an invitational for as long as he likes. In life you get back what you put in. Same goes for snooker. By the way did his oppos all let him win on his run to the last 16 of the Gibraltar open? He can still play, but of course the older you get the more inconsistent you are. Will he get to the Crucible? I doubt it, but if he could play a bit more freely like he did the other week he might come closeish.
I think Jimmy is enjoying life on tour despite the lack of consistent results so let him be cos he won't be around forever.

I'm with you Mr Rabbit,Jimmy brought so many players to the game, playing attacking, brilliant snooker. He obviously is past his best but for fans of a certain age he was box office. Think younger fans don't appreciate him not seeing him in his prime and watching him on YouTube. Who would you rather watch making a 147,Jimmy or Selby

You get out what you put in?
In that case Jimmy should be getting a hell of a lot of white powdery substances out of the game.
