There is no doubt that the bans of Cao Yupeng and Yu Delu have humiliated their Chinese brothers at the British Championships, and more or less, it has made Chinese players more and more unconfident at Barbican. In the third round of last night's British Championship, former World Cup champion partners Zhou Yuelong and Yan Bingtao suffered defeats one after another.
Facing O'Sullivan, Zhou Yuelong played the worst performance in recent years, "fear" the word, the game blew itself up to the opponent, and finally lost 0-6 to the "Rockets" who did not put most of their minds on the game. O'Sullivan said of Zhou Yuelong after the game: "I sympathize with my opponent, he should be very painful on the field. He had the ability to play well, and I made a lot of mistakes, but he didn't take advantage of it once. ”
Yan Bingtao originally dared to play against the opponent in the big scene, but in the face of Karen Wilson, who was fierce, he was still suppressed by the Englishman in the aura. Yan Bingtao lost the match 2-6, and Wilson won 6 innings to save 5 innings to score a super score. "He's a very good young player and a dangerous opponent," Wilson said of Yan after the game, "but I played very well and didn't give him many chances." ”
Unexpectedly, the only one who maintains his true colors is Lu Ning, who regained his professional qualification this year, and the Chinese teenager who ranks only 112th has already played three strong players in the British Championship. Before eliminating the current Top 16 Brechel 6-4, Ronin defeated former Top 16 player McGill 6-5 and professional bird Joyce 6-4. His next opponent will be Tom Ford, and if he can continue to maintain his current mentality and feel, Ronin even has a chance to advance to the quarter-finals of the British Championship.
Speaking of Cao Yupeng and Yu Delu, during the British Championships, all the big-name players gave a corresponding attitude to the treatment of their bans, which summed up that it was a gift not to judge the lifetime ban. Even Robertson also pointed out that Yu Delu's match-fixing was very obvious to him. However, O'Sullivan, the only one who was not asked to take a stand but took the initiative to speak, contradicted the public, and he also made a statement on Twitter: "I am not encouraging crime, but the punishment of Cao Yupeng and Yu Delu is indeed too severe." ”
As a result, Hearne was the first to sit still and questioned O'Sullivan's INTELLIGENCE in relatively euphemistic terms.
Although O'Sullivan now endorses a certain betting brand, he really knows nothing about betting on matches and match-fixing. When Bingham was suspended, O'Sullivan suggested that Steven Lee had been fined heavily, and that Bingham should have been fined for 12 years to be reasonable.
He didn't even understand the relationship between gambling and match-fixing, not to mention that when someone asked him to go to the grove to talk about playing match-fixing, he didn't dare to go, how could he know to what extent the current "technology" had developed?
As for how Cao Yupeng and Yu Delu were caught, I believe that many snooker fans have not yet been able to figure it out. Recently, a report by the British BBC revealed in detail how Cao Yupeng and Yu Delu were arrested. Many people think of match-fixing, and their first reaction is to let the bookmaker trade, let whoever deliberately put water to lose, or deliberately lose a few games (snooker field), but in the "real" world, please believe that the bookmaker does not participate in the bet. Therefore, those who are caught and banned are always those who operate entirely on their own (playing match-fixing) players.
In the 2016 Welsh tournament (yes, it was O'Sullivan who shot a single shot of 146 and won the championship), Cao Yupeng lost 1-4 to Carter, and even fans and spectators may not be able to see how it could be a match-fixing. But at the time of the match, a total of 38 accounts from China or Asia placed large bets on the match, totaling £250,000, or about 2.17 million yuan. If these bets are successful, the bet will eventually make a profit of £1 million, or about 8.71 million yuan.
Bookmakers are clearly not the masters of the mermaids, they have dangerous betting alerts, and after seeing such a large amount of money pouring into a game that is not too high a concern, they quickly terminate the betting window, that is, the closure. In fact, don't just think that the bookmakers will be finished just by investing money in the title of the snooker event, they will also cooperate with the anti-corruption squad of the World Taiwan Federation to catch match-fixing players. Therefore, it is not a cruel role at first glance, and the match between Cao Yupeng and Carter was sent to the World Taiwan Federation.
Cao Yupeng said that he only played match-fixing because of the financial difficulties at that time, and only got paid 5,000 pounds per game...
At the same Welsh Open, Yu de Lu narrowly won 4-3 against the top 100 players, and a sum of money was invested in 65,000 pounds, and the result of the game made a profit of 86,000 pounds on the bet. After the Taiwan Federation traced the source to Yu Delu's head, the text messages he communicated with his collaborators confirmed that he manipulated the score of the game, including his own illegal betting on the game.
So you can probably guess why Cao Yupeng was able to sign an agreement with the World Federation of Taiwan to help fight corruption, and finally "suspended" for many years.
After Cao Yupeng and Yu Delu, Jamie Jones, ranked 43rd in the world, was also suspended last month for the same reason of manipulating the game. In the same year's Welsh Open, Jones was accused of cheating against David John and Dortmund. Coincidentally, John was banned as early as May this year along with Cao Yupeng and Yu Delu. Could it be that this brother confessed to Jones? Of the three, only Dort was found to be clean. At present, the results of Jones and John's ban have not been announced, and I don't know how big a gap will be with China's second general.
Good flow of ah, a Welsh Open so many people play fake ball, I really don't know how many people play fake ball in the 24 ranking tournaments a year...
