Tonight's Premier League Snooker action centres mainly around the battle to avoid finishing bottom of this year's table.
Marco Fu is currently a top-priced 11/8 favourite for the wooden spoon with totesport following a draw and two defeats, but he does at least have one more point than his Grimsby opponent.
Shaun Murphy has opened his campaign with two straight losses and is 15/2 at best with Stan James to stay at the foot of the table.
However, with those losses coming against John Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan, he may well relish this drop in class and is 6/5 with the last-named firm to prevail this evening, with Fu 12/5 at Coral, who offer 9/4 a draw.
Stephen Hendry is 11/4 with Boylesports to finish bottom despite picking up a respectable three points from three matches, including last week's Abderdeen tie with Higgins.
However, the seven-times world champion is 7/1 with the Irish firm to beat O'Sullivan in Grimsby, with the Rocket 4/9 at best with William Hill and a draw 10/3 at Boylesports.
Those who think O'Sullivan will whitewash the Scot can get 8/1 at sportingbet for a 6-0 scoreline, while he is 11/4 at Sky Bet to oblige 5-1 and 11/5 there for 4-2.
Boylesports make the Rocket Evens favourite to record the highest break from both matches, with Murphy a 3/1 chance for this market, Fu quoted at 9/2 and Hendry the 5/1 outsider.
They have special enhanced doubles of 15/8 for both O'Sullivan and Murphy to prevail and 28/1 Hendry and Fu pull off a brace of upsets.
It is 28/1 that each match ends in stalemate, 10/11 for at least one of the fixtures to finish all square and 5/6 there are no draws.
