Seventeen days and nights at the Crucible must be as brutal for a player as it is for a punter trying to predict what's going to happen .

Wile E. Coyote has chased the Road Runner for many years without much success .

Best of luck with the bets skogstokig my friend !

" John Higgins v Kurt Maflin
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 5 (1300 GMT) & THURSDAY AUGUST 6 (1000 GMT & 1900 GMT)
TV Coverage: BBC & Eurosport
World Championship draw and schedule
Four centuries including that failed 147 bid and subsequent middle-finger salute mark down Kurt Maflin as one of the most impressive first-round winners. Granted, he only scraped through, but he was up against a Crucible semi-finalist who also played well in the shape of David Gilbert, and it could be an important victory when it comes to how his career develops as he has the talent to achieve plenty in the game.

The Norwegian is very highly regarded and has every shot in the manual, as displayed with a 10-1 thumping of Matt Selt to seal his second World Championship appearance. And while he's sometimes found wanting at the business-end, he'd previously beaten Joe O'Connor 6-5, while his Sheffield debut five years ago saw him take defending champion Mark Selby the distance in round one.

Throw in the fact that his sole previous meeting with John Higgins ended in a 3-0 win, and you can see where the bits and pieces of support has come from. He's now 100/30 in a place, 11/4 generally, and that's a mark of the impression he's created - and the way in which he's spoken about by commentators and pundits.

The trouble is, he's facing one of the greats of the game here and though Higgins wasn't quite at his best against Matthew Stevens, he did the job, and he'll likely do the job again. He spoke prior to that match about his practice sessions with fellow Scots and will have been pleased to see one of them, Anthony McGill, show some Higgins-like nous and see off Jack Lisowski on Monday.

No doubt come game-time here he'll be focused on the job he has to do and the extension of matches to best-of-25 tips the scales further in his favour. Maflin may well win the odd mini-session, but should he blast out of the blocks and take three of the first four or even six of the first nine, it may well pay to get with Higgins in-running. Expect him to ensure this match is played how he wants it to be played.

Higgins has lost three second-round matches to unseeded players, but two were Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry, and the other was Shaun Murphy en route to his 2005 victory. Maflin hasn't the nous of that trio and 45-year-old Higgins, who has won at least two matches here in each of the last four years, is considered banker material to progress.

Finding a bet isn't easy, but if you've fallen for Maflin's break-building talents, he's 7/5 to record the highest break or around evens to bag the first century of the match. Both look short enough to my eye, and I prefer the 11/2 offered by several firms on a century in the first frame. It happened in five of the 15 first-round matches and should've been six, Tom Ford missing black off the spot when on course for a maximum and instead settling for a break of 97.

That alone makes the price look big enough, without even considering the fact that Higgins has made 31 across the last three renewals including a dozen last year, and that Maflin is enjoying his most prolific year yet in terms of centuries to frames played. It's a small, speculative suggestion, but 11/2 about either man taking a chance in frame one is probably on the generous side.

Prediction: Higgins 13-9 Maflin

Mark Williams v Stuart Bingham
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 5 (1900 GMT), THURSDAY AUGUST 6 (1430 GMT) & FRIDAY AUGUST 7 (1000 GMT)
TV Coverage: BBC & Eurosport
World Championship draw and schedule
Two elder statesman of the game face off in a clash that really ought not to go under the radar.

Either side of a brilliant win at The Masters in January, Stuart Bingham hasn't been quite as good as in previous years - certainly in terms of results - but he remains a very fine operator who held off a spirited fightback form Ashley Carty in round one.

It seems fair to assume that he will need to improve again if he is to get past Mark Williams, winner here in 2018 when becoming world champion for a third time.

Williams is one of the greats but he has lost his way since that latest world title, certainly enjoying the moment and spending more time with a drink in his hand than a cue.

As his results predictably took a downward turn, talk of retirement once again resurfaced, but he has reaffirmed his commitment to the sport in recent days and Williams has professed to having worked hard on the practice table in preparation for the World Championship.

That might not have been in evidence in the first session of Williams' first-round encounter with Alan McManus but he was much sharper in the second session, reeling off six frames on the bounce to surge into the last 16.

The Welshman might just have turned a corner now and given his fine Crucible pedigree, I'm very surprised to see him priced up as second favourite.

Prediction: Williams 13-10 Bingham

Best bet: Mark Williams to beat Stuart Bingham at 1/1."
