Punter missed out on £10,000 payday from £10 bet when Judd Trump lost at the Crucible Visit Coral Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 3 May 2011 Tweet Judd Trump narrowly missed out on this year's World Championships trophy (credit: msuutarinen) Related Articles See all Snooker World Championship news Share it Pin It A punter who, in 1998, placed £10 on Judd Trump winning the World Championships before 2020 was almost celebrating a £10,000 win this yearPunter Neil Morrice missed out on a £10,000 windfall when Judd Trump lost last night's World Snooker Championship final.Morrice placed a £10 bet with Coral in 1998, taking odds of 1,000/1 that the then-eight-year-old would win snooker's biggest prize before 2020.Coral's David Stevens said: "Neil first saw Judd Trump in action when his 12-year-old son played a frame against him, and at the time he was so young he needed to stand on a box to reach the table."Having spotted his star potential so early, he was quick to place his bet at 1,000/1 that he would one day win the World Championship.
