Ronnie O’Sullivan 8/13 to beat Shaun Murphy Visit PinnacleSports Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 22 Apr 2011 Tweet Ronnie O'Sullivan in action on Saturday Related Articles See all Snooker World Championship news Share it Pin It Ronnie O’Sullivan begins his 2011 World Snooker Championship second round match on Saturday afternoon against Shaun MurphyWe’re all getting very excited about Saturday’s second round match between Ronnie O’Sullivan and Shaun Murphy at the Crucible.Both players know what’s required to win this tournament, with the Rocket having won in 2001, 2004 and 2008, while Murphy was victorious in 2005 and regularly features at the business end of the competition.O’Sullivan is a best price 8/13 (Pinnacle) to win this match and we didn’t learn a great deal from his first round match against Dominic Dale, other than the fact that he is capable of rattling off a century given half a chance.Dale failed to provide a stern test of the three-time winner’s credentials, although Murphy will be much stiffer opposition and the Magician is available at 13/8 (Ladbrokes) to not only give Ronnie a tough game but to beat him and set up a likely quarter final encounter against John Higgins.There are attractive options for those that think Murphy will run O’Sullivan close without necessarily beating him. Many bookmakers offer handicap betting and Shaun can be backed at 10/11 with sponsors Betfred being given a 2.5 frame advantage.This means that Murphy would simply need to reach eleven frames before Ronnie gets to thirteen and many people are expecting a close encounter.On the flip side, a fast start from O’Sullivan could make life difficult for his opponent, especially as the Rocket can be so devastatingly quick when it comes to winning frames.O’Sullivan can be backed at 20/1 with Blue Square to win by a 13-5 frame scoreline and 16/1 with Coral to win 13-6.
