Ronnie O’Sullivan v Stephen Hendry
This is a semi-final line-up that those at 888 could only have dreamed about. Hendry hasn’t won the World Championships since 1999, but has shown that class never fades at this years Crucible event.
Some say that Hendry is the greatest snooker player ever in terms of results and competitions won, and that O’Sullivan is the greatest snooker player ever in terms of natural talent.
This match is a mouth-watering prospect for snooker fans, with two greats of the game going head-to-head.
Ronnie is the favourite at 3/8 with Pinnacle, and rightly so after his impressive form thus far - his 147 this week was certainly something to behold.
However, I suggest backing Hendry on the handicap of +3.5 with Bet365 - we know he has the big match temperament, and he should push Ronnie all the way.
It’s worth having a look at Sporting Index as well if you can ‘bet in play’. They offer spreads on the number of points in each frame, and there is some money to be made on minority sports like this.
