The World Open gets underway in the early hours of Sunday with the qualifying
round bringing a huge opportunity for listeners of Betting Radio and followers of
BetCave to steal a march on the Top Nationality bet.
It appears for the time being to escaped the notice of the bookmakers and snooker fans
how much better the Chinese players are playing in their home events.
This season, Xiao Guodong and Ding Junhui have won two of the three played so far
while last season Zhang Anda won his first professional event at the International
Championship.
It does not stop there with Si Jiahui making a final, and career best efforts from Long
Zehuang and Xu Si who both made the semi-final stage of those events this year.
The bet for China to be the nationality of winner is still easily available at prices upwards
of 3/1 with popular high street firms.
Yes, England has Judd Trump, Kyren Wilson and Mark Selby all multiple winners
this season but apart from those three, the next most likely winner of this week's
World Open will come from China and 3/1 will not be the price of the future.
Betcave Pick:
Nationality of World Open winner, Chinese 3/1, William Hill, Ladbrokes, and Coral
Enjoy the snooker, good luck with your bets and always gamble responsibly
