Snooker Lucre

With the World Championship starting this morning, I can present you with the best options for profiting on the first round matches if you fancy a flutter. I have used a few different rating systems and the bets below come out as huge value whichever system is used.

Anthony Hamilton v Marco Fu
Hamilton is abysmal nowadays and along with Andy Hicks is one of the worst two players appearing at the crucible this year. Fu is a quality player on his day and showed his class doing well in last years championship
Fu available at approx 1.71 on Betfair - Correct odds 1.16 or shorter.

Allister Carter v Andy Hicks
Hicks has had a terrible season and should be no trouble for Carter.
Carter 1.47 on Betfair - Correct odds 1.15 or shorter

Barry Hawkins v Fergal O'Brien
Until a recent upturn Hawkins had been having an atrocious season whilst O'Brien is currently underrated and should be favourite for this match.
O'Brien 2.7 on Betfair - Correct odds 1.45 or shorter

Stephen Lee v Mark Selby
Piggy has run hot and cold this season and allegedly couldn't go and play in the China Open because he was to heavy for the plane to take off with him in it. Mark Selby is the only relatively unknown player with a realistic chance of becoming World Champion and should send Lee home early.
Selby 1.76 on Betfair - Correct odds 1.33 or shorter

I can't believe that Piggy has run anywhere this season.
