World Championship Snooker Final Betting 2011

The final of the snooker World Championships this year is a tale of the old against the new. John Higgins and Judd Trump square off for the title and you could not hope to see two more different players going for the massive prize.

Higgins will dominate World Championship snooker final betting 2011 because he has already won this tournament three times during his career. That is as many titles as Ronnie O'Sullivan and one more than the man he just put out Mark Williams. Higgins is also being strongly motivated by the recent death of his father.

Trump will consider himself very lucky to have reached the final although he has played some immense snooker during the last two weeks. Trump is a player who is reminding many of the way a young Alex Higgins used to play around the table and it will be a superb achievement if he wins the 2011 trophy.

John Higgins Snooker Betting

John Higgins is a player who has dominated Snooker Betting markets over the last six months. He has only been playing since November and already has three ranking titles to his name.

Higgins has been shortly priced in World Championship Snooker Betting 2011 and the final will be no different. His experience and his safety play are two attributes that warrant an odds on price without even considering his positional play and break building ability.

John Higgins snooker betting is going to be one of the biggest sports betting markets out of the whole tournament. Higgins has been playing professional snooker for a lot longer than Judd Trump.

Judd Trump Snooker Betting

Judd Trump snooker betting is where all the value is going to be because he has been the underdog in Sports Betting from start to finish in nearly every single game he has played. Trump is an exciting player but many are expecting him to get picked off by Higgins over a long final.

Trump has made seven century breaks in the tournament before the final but Higgins has the experience and the stamina to grind him down. If Trump is going to prevail through the best of 35 frame match then he will have to play perfectly and keep his mistakes to a minimum.

Strengths of John Higgins

The strengths of John Higgins are numerous and could create a huge document for any opponent about to face him. Ruthlessness and safety play are the two biggest strengths of John Higgins. There are few other players that can control the cue ball up and down the table as well as Higgins.

Higgins has been ruthless in the tournament this year in the respect that as soon as he is given a chance, the frame is over. He has compiled some big breaks and seems intent on snuffing out a chance as soon as he gets one.

Sadly, the death of Higgins' father is also one of his biggest strengths. That sort of emotional motivation can often give a player the energy necessary to get through tough spells in a match. It also means he'll already have a massive determination to win.

Strengths of Judd Trump

The biggest out of all of the strengths of Judd Trump is the fact that his opponent cannot feel confident if he leaves any sort of pot on. Trump will go for everything and this makes him one of the most attack and exciting players in the game.

He is a very young man and age will work to his advantage because he does not carry the scars of massive defeats in finals gone by. His recent victory at the 2011 China Open also shows he does not think much of pressure.
