Snooker Free bets are what to look for as sports betting fans must have been on the edge of their seats for the opening two quarter finals in the battle for the snooker title of World Master. In both matches the winner came from behind to demonstrate nerves of steel which were also evident in the losers of these games. Mark Selby recovered from 5-3 down to claim his semi-final place with a 6-5 win over Stephen Maguire.

Selby, 3-1 down at the interval, described himself as gobsmacked to still be in the tournament although the shrewder of online betting enthusiasts will have spotted the reason. Selby demonstrates consummate skill together with an ice like demeanour and he never gives up.

Another man who never gives up is Ken Docherty, the second semi-finalist to emerge. He came back last night from the graveyard of 4-1 down to beat Sean Murphy 6-5. Docherty was 5-4 with two to go when Murphy took on a difficult table in the tenth to draw level with a clearance that was the most impressive of the match. Alas, he barely got a look in at the clincher and Docherty stole the match with a display of masterful snooker and a glimpse of character which suggests he will go all the way.

Snooker betting will see a surge in wagers over the next couple of days as the final two quarter finals are played out between Englishmen, Stephen Lee and Peter Ebdon and, from the East, Marco Fu of Hong Kong and Ding Junhui of China. The Semis are on Saturday and the final on Sunday so dig around for those free bets now and get stuck in to this betting bonanza.
