World Championship Snooker Quarter-Final Betting 2011

The last eight of the World Championship snooker tournament at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield is where the matches get a little harder to call as players start to up the ante. World Championship snooker quarter-final betting 2011 could see some of the old and new guard progress to the last four.

This will be the biggest test that some of the players in the last eight have ever faced. If they rise to the challenge then it could make for one of the most open Snooker Betting markets in living memory.

World Championship Snooker Quarter-Final Favourites

There are four players who can all be considered World Championship snooker quarter-final favourites; Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Williams, John Higgins and Mark Selby.

Each of these players has a great chance to win the tournament and all are jostling for the favourite position in World Championship Snooker Betting 2011. Unfortunately one of O'Sullivan and Higgins will go out at this stage as the pair face each other for a place in the last four.

Mark Williams is one of the World Championship snooker quarter-final favourites because he's been going quietly about his business while others have taken the attention. Williams has been arguably the most consistent player of the tournament so far.

Selby is where most of the money is going because he's reached the later stages of the tournament over the last few years. However, he faces Ding Junhui from China who many have said is destined for the title at some point in his career.

World Championship Snooker Quarter-Final Contenders

The list of World Championship snooker quarter-final contenders includes Junhui, Judd Trump, Mark Allen and former winner Graeme Dott. Each of these four players has a good chance to win but they all face a slightly steeper climb to the top of the mountain.

Allen and Junhui are the flair players out of all the contenders. Both are very aggressive and will need to be careful that they don't get picked off by players with a better stamina for the longer matches.

Trump will probably be the longest priced out of the World Championship snooker quarter-final contenders because he is the youngest and least experienced. It will be interesting to see how he copes with the additional pressure.

Dott has the experience of winning this tournament before and this means he is not going to be vulnerable to the pressure. Dott has played well and is one of the World Championship snooker quarter-final contenders because he can beat any other player left in the hat.

Snooker Last Eight Betting

Snooker last eight betting is not a stage where punters should start to panic. The matches remain at the best of 25 frames which means there is still space for players to recover even if they have a bad start or session.

The odds on the last four are going to drop dramatically at the semi-final stage. The snooker last eight Sports Betting is one of the final markets where any value can be obtained from using free bets in the competition.
