Chinese Doctor Set For £100,000 Snooker WinChinese Doctor Set For Snooker Win

Bookmakers William Hill face a massive £100,000 Snooker Betting payout to a single customer if sixth favourite Ding Junhui wins the World Snooker Championships, which get underway this weekend.

The bet was placed eleven years ago by Dr You Sen Huang from Beijing, who staked £200 at odds of 500/1 that a Chinese born player would become World Champion before 2010.

"The client has two more years in which to land what was a bold gamble, as there were no Chinese-born players anywhere in the rankings when he placed the bet." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Junhui is a 10/1 chance to win the tournament this year.

The Ding wager is not William Hill's only potential six figure Sport Betting payout to individual punters who have taken out long term bets. They are also facing a payout £109,000 to a Scottish client if Tiger Woods can equal Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 Majors before the end of 2010 after he staked £10,900 at odds of 10/1 seven years ago.

Meanwhile, champion John Higgins has branded Ronnie O'Sullivan "stupid" for making lewd comments during a news conference at last month's China Open.

Ronnie O'Sullivan's gestures after he lost to Marco Fu, are to be reviewed by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association disciplinary panel.
