THE MASTERS 2010 SNOOKER LATEST BETTING TIPS

We’ve got more exciting snooker action coming up for you over the next few days as the world’s top players are looking to earn their way into the last 8 at the 2010 Masters of Snooker. We’ve examined some of the betting markets available at William Hill and we’ve put together some very interesting selections that will hopefully help you maximize your profits, or at least give you some clues as to where the money is heading before you make your own decisions.
Today at 19:05 we have #3 ranked Shaun Murphy listed as the 4/11 favourite against Mark Williams who is trading at 2/1. You can expect live in-play betting on this match and that’s a bit of a different beast. If you’re going to go that route, we suggest making a few bets beforehand on some of the more profitable margins and then using the in-play to either hedge or enhance your existing bet.
The favoured correct score outcome for the Murphy-Williams snooker match today is either 6-3 or 6-4 to Murphy with both selections listed at 9/2. A 6-2 victory pays out at 11/2 while 6-1 is a solid 15/2. Should it wind up a 6-5 thriller in Murphy’s favour, you’re looking at a hefty 6/1 payout. Williams lowest correct score price is 7/1 for a 6-5 win while 6-4 trades at 9/1.
The handicap has been set at (-1.5) to Murphy and you can back that at 4/6 while Williams trades at 11/10 (+1.5). Murphy is also favoured for highest match break at an 8/15 price while Williams can be backed at 11/8.
At William Hill, you can also bet on total points, total points odd/even, 1st colour potted, 1st red potted and first frame betting.
Tomorrow’s fixtures bring us Stephen Maguire vs Ryan Day and heavily-favoured Mark Selby vs Mark Allen. In the Maguire-Day fixture, we’ve got #2-ranked Maguire listed as the 4/7 favourite ahead of 5/4 Ryan Day. You can back Maguire on the (-1.5) handicap at a price of evens while Day trades at 8/11 (+1.5). The lowest-price correct score is 6-3 or 6-4 to Maguire at 5/1 while a 6-5 victory pays out at 11/2 for both competitors. That’s an interesting fact to remember.
In the second Masters Snooker match-up tomorrow, Selby vs Allen we have the favourite, Mark Selby, strongly-priced at 1/2 ahead of Allen’s 6/4 listing. The (-1.5) handicap is 5/6 for Selby and Allen trades at 5/6 (+1.5). Your preferred correct score listing is Selby 6-4 at 9/2 while Allen’s best option looks to be a 6-5 final frame thriller.
A treble on the 3 favourites, Murphy/Maguire/Selby pays out at 2.21 with William Hill.
