Premier League Snooker betting: Week One

Last year’s Premier League finalists are both involved in tonight’s opening night of both the Premier League 2010 and the new snooker season.

Shaun Murphy and Ding Junhui will get proceedings underway as Murphy begins the defence of his Premier League crown. The Premier League was a solitary highlight in what was an otherwise poor season for the former World Champion. Ding, on the other hand, won his first ranking event title since 2005 and enjoyed a season which put him back amongst the world’s elite.

Extrabet offer odds of 17/10 on each player winning and 19/10 on the draw. Therein lies a good opportunity to back the ‘Star of the East’ Ding Junhui.

The night’s second match is between Ronnie O’Sulivan and Marco Fu. O’Sullivan has always prospered in this form of the game as seven titles in the last 10 years suggests. However, Fu will not be daunted by the prospect of playing ‘The Rocket’ having beaten him on eight of the 20 occasions that they have played against one another.

O’Sullivan is the deserving 8/13 favourite with Sportingbet, but approach this one with caution.
