UK SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH BETTING TIPS

As if the onset of the Maplin UK Snooker Championship wasn't exciting enough, I got a notice in my inbox this morning that Paddy Power are offering an exceptional deal on match betting for the entire tournament! If you place a losing match bet on any of the UK Championship matches that go to a deciding frame, Paddy will give you a free bet for the same stake on any other UK Championship match! How solid is that? I mean seriously, you can afford to take some wild punts if you think it will be a close match. MATCH BETTINGThe first round is set to kick off on the 13th of December with Ronnie O'Sullivan taking on Rory McLeod, of course ol' Ronnie is listed as the 1-10 favourite. Joe Perry will be taking on Mark Davis as Perry is the 2-5 favourite to take that one. The Ryan Day v Matthew Stevens match should be significantly closer and I could really see that one going either way. That's a good candidate to take advantage of Paddy's special promo. I think this one could definitely go the distance. KUNG FUHowever, if you're looking to back a match to take advantage of that promotion, I would recommend looking at the Marco Fu v Barry Hawkins. Both players are listed at 5-6 so the bookmakers definitely think this one could go to a deciding frame. I'm backing Judd Trump to take down Mark King in his first round match as well. This is set to be an epic tournament and while we probably all have the sneaking suspicion that O'Sullivan will be the ultimate winner, it will likely be a hell of a journey getting there. I would keep my eye on Judd Trump to make a big impression at this tournament.
