WORLD SNOOKER WINNERS
The World Snooker Championship is the climax of snooker's annual calendar and the most important snooker event of the year in terms of prestige, prize money, world ranking points and, of course, snooker spread betting.
The Crucible Theatre has played host to some thrilling finals and some massive snooker betting upsets, not least in 2007 when second seed and seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry was dumped out of the quarter finals by Ali Cater whilst UK Champion Peter Ebdon was also knocked out at the same stage by surprise finalist Mark Selby.
But perhaps one of the most memorable finals in snooker betting history was the 1985 final between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor.
With the match tied at 11-11, the final instalment of a marathon five-hour effort, saw Davis lead 17-15 in the first to 18 frames final but Taylor clawed his way back to level at 17-17 and force a deciding frame. On the ‘black-ball finish’, Davis missed what was described as “the shot of his life” and Taylor found the pocket to claim the World Championship.
