The second largest prize in snooker will be up for grabs from Sunday at the Saga Insurance Masters event in Wembley. Sporting Index offers punters a similar opportunity to win big with a number of special spread markets including the highest tournament break, currently predicted to be between 140.8 – 141.3. Both buyers and sellers will be interested to know that previous highest breaks going back over the last five tournaments (since losing Benson and Hedges sponsorship) have all been around this mark (141, 139, 141, 138) - the one exception being Ding Junhui’s maximum in 2007.
Besides the standard frame supremacies on every match, another exciting wager can be found in the ‘Ton-ups’ markets, where a prediction is made on the total number of points scored over 100 in breaks throughout a match (ie. a break of 107 contributes 7 to the make-up). For the final the figure is currently set at 36-40. Buyers will certainly be buoyed by the number of competent century break-builders in the draw but the recent history of Masters Finals will make great reading for these spread bettors. No final of the last five has had a make-up below 43, and in 2006 and 2007 the figures were 77 and 97 respectively. However, the statistics which should really get buyers excited are those from last year’s demolishing of Stephen Lee by Mark Selby. Going into the last frame the ton-up figure was already 81, before Selby emphatically equalled the tournament’s highest break of 141, bagged the Masters title and took the ton-up value to a staggering 122.

Snooker Spread Betting - 19 Dec 08
From the green grass to the green baize and one of the top events in the Snooker calendar, the UK Championship.
Spread betting with Sporting Index is great for a wager on snooker – the points generated in breaks, frames and matches are an ideal base for numerous spread betting markets. Bettors on the frame supremacy in Sunday’s final will be interested in previous finals in this tournament and should note that of the previous four, back to 2004, the winning margins have been significant in each.
Ronnie O’Sullivan won the tournament convincingly last year, beating Stephen Maguire by 10-2 in the final, whilst the previous two were won by four frames, and in 2004 Maguire won by a huge nine frames (beating David Gray 10-1). With the frame supremacy spread set to be around 0.5-1.3, both buyers and sellers are sure to be glued to the climax of snooker’s last tournament of 2008, and hoping for a very Merry Christmas.
