2007 World Snooker Championship Update

The 2007 World Snooker Championship started on April 21st at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. And even though it’s still underway, there’s already been plenty of action. For example, Ronnie O’Sullivan alleged that the draw had been fixed (an accusation he later withdrew) before the tournament even got started. Then things really got crazy when defending champ Graeme Dott was knocked out in the first round by underdog Ian McCulloch.

And as the finals approach, there’s no telling what’s going to happen next. With all the upsets in the tournament, snooker fans who bet on the outcomes at Bodog are bound to have raked in some serious cash.

Here’s an update:
