Uncle Psychosis Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 O'Sullivan is a strange boy sometimes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/35581281 Ronnie O'Sullivan turned down the chance of a maximum 147 break at the Welsh Open because the £10,000 prize money was "too cheap". The five-time world champion had potted 14 reds and 13 blacks, but opted for an easier pink as he made a 146 to beat Barry Pinches 4-1 in round one. O'Sullivan, 40, told BBC Sport: "I knew it was £10,000. If it had been more, I'd have gone for the 147." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 This is one of the more normal things he's done! Ten grand is a fair bit of money so not sure I agree, but if you're going to have a go at something like this, the best way to go is to not take the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grass Is Greener. Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm pretty sure he's done this exact thing before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sure before he had potted about three reds, asked the ref if there was a prize for a 147 and when the ref said no he made 140 and put his cue on the table. He eventually potted the black after a bit of encouragement. Just searched for it and you're right. I say good on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 He's a cock. Why not give the fans a 147 if you can do it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Because he's a p***k and he always has been. Fucking weirdo as well. A prodigious talent like no other but he's not right in the head and episodes like that are why I'll never wish him any success. Hopefully someone else wins the rolling prize long before the c**t ever considers it worthy of his efforts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 He should also be fined for bringing the game into disrepute. Never mind that people paying to watch him would have loved to see it, imagine you had a sly 5er in match betting on a maximum only to find out he deliberately fucked it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Why not give the money to charity then? What a cretin he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just watched it. Commentator said that on the previous occasion (when he eventually did pot the black after some persuasion from the referee) he ended up giving the money to charity. That reflects well on him. However, it makes him even more of a cock this time as, if the money doesn't matter to him, why not give it to charity again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybs Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 There's rumours a guys fleeced him of 125K as well so I'm sure 10K might have been a wee bit helpful to him just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Power paid out on the 147 yesterday, both in terms of during that match and during the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meddabhoy Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 10k seems a pretty decent amount for a 147 in a tourney such as the Welsh open so I don't see why he has a problem with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
