As far as today's action goes we think there is a great opportunity to trade Mark Selby (currently 3.15 on Betfair) in his Q-F with hot favourite Ronnie O'Sullivan (1.45 on Betfair).

In their last three matches Ronnie has won two (10-8 in last year's Masters final and 9-8 in a memorable semi-final in the UK Championship in 2007) while Selby just beat him in the 2008 Welsh Open final in a decider. It is worth pointing out that Selby went odds-on in-running at some stage in all three of these matches.

So, today's advice is to back Selby at anything over 3.0 on Betfair and look to lay it off at around the 2.0 mark in-running.
