At Betcave our snooker expert, ex-professional Craig Edwards gives you his best

bets from the opening round of the Masters Snooker at Alexandra Palace.

Judd Trump and Barry Hawkins have a rich history of producing classic

matches, and I think it is fair to say that both players enjoying playing the

other.

Certainly, it is a spot that Trump has been historically been vulnerable in compared

to the other players in the field, in fact the head-to-head reads, 20-13 and importantly

6-4 to Trump in their last ten encounters.

In that time, they clashed here at Alexandra Palace with Hawkins winning 6-5 in the

2022 semi-final and Trump winning their quarter final encounter the following year,

again 6-5.

Barry Hawkins price of 11/5 with Bet365 is an easy value pick and, I like to

combine that with a play on the match going over 9 frames at odds against,

and Skybet price of 11/8 is an amazing one to perm the money line with.
