SHEFFIELD, England, April 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --



Ante-post favourite Judd Trump has been cut into 7/2 with sponsors Betfred for the World Snooker Championship after a 10-7 victory over Dominic Dale.

With seven of the top seeds already eliminated from this year's competition, the draw is not shaping up as everybody expected.

If Trump was to go all the way at Crucible, Fred will be forced to pay out all losing bets up to GBP200 courtesy of his cashback offer before the tournament got under way.

There has also been plenty of money on the Rocket Ronnie O'Sullivan who has been shortened into 4/1 second favourite following his 10-4 victory over Peter Ebdon in the opening round.

For the latest information throughout the snooker Betfred have launched their own microsite at www.betfred.com/snooker [http://www.betfred.com/snooker ] which will also include exclusive interviews with the players.
