I have a little message from Mark Pearson of BetFred.com for you all. If anybody has any questions for the sponsors please post them up in this thread and I will make sure thay get answered for you.
Well it’s definitely a positive response from the new sponsors and at Betfred.com we are delighted to be involved with the World Championships. The betting shop at the crucible is only adding to the atmosphere and Betfred is doing a roaring trade from snooker fans.
Big losers pre-tournament for us were of course the champ Ronnie O’Sullivan 9/4, last year’s beaten finalist Ali Carter 12/1 , Marco Fu 33/1 and 2007 Champion John Higgins 12/1.
So after beating his practice partner Stuart Bingham 10-5, watched by his best mate artist Damien Hirst, we’ve cut the champ to 7/4. Ronnie says there’s more to come so bookies beware !
Also in the second round is Ali Carter, we could stand to lose over 200 grand if the Captain can go one better than last year, he is now a 10/1.
As for me personally, I have a quid on Ronnie and 50p each way on Hendry at a very big price. But whatever happens it’s going to be a fabulous tournament.
