Monday sees the World Snooker Tour make its annual visit to the most
established Home Nations event, the Welsh Open and at Betcave and on
Betting Radio, former professional Craig Edwards @EdwardsTips_ brings his
best bets.
Stick with Luca and Hossein for one more week.
Why Luca loves Wales?
No luck with Luca Brecel in the Masters and German Masters but we have not
deserted him this week for the Welsh Open as there is much promise in everything
he is doing.
Historically, the Welsh Open is an event that Brecel likes with several deep runs to
Quarter and Semi-finals.
Interestingly, the year of Covid, the Scottish Open was held at the Venue Cymru, yes, I know that sounds crazy but that was a pivotal year that no one will ever forget.
Least of all Luca Brecel who won the event at the Llandudno site, and indeed last years poor season saw his best week here.
So, with lots in his favour this week we are siding once again with Luca Brecel to win
the Welsh Open
Betcave and Betting Radio Welsh Open pick: Luca Brecel 25/1 Ladbrokes (18/1 minimum)
Hossein saves his best for the Valleys
Yes, we backed Hossein Vafaei in the German Masters and unfortunately, he
was denied a visa, something that has afflicted the Iranian before and happily,
all firms bar, William Hill kindly refunded stakes to punters.
He has no such problems when visiting Wales and in fact, historically performs well
in the Valleys. Twice the thirty-year-old has reached the semi finals here in 2019
and 2022 so with his upturn in form at the Championship League that I discussed for
the German Masters, Vafaei has a very solid betting profile.
That heady mix of travelling to your favourite tournament combined with good form is
a mix we cannot ignore about Hossein Vafaei this week.
Betcave and Betting Radio Welsh Open pick: Hossein Vafaei each-way 66/1 Ladbrokes (40/1 minimum)
Enjoy the snooker and please gamble responsibly
