Snooker Betting Guide

Snooker betting has become increasingly popular, especially with the development of betting in-running. With markets such as game betting, highest break, and with the nature of the sport in that it twists and turns it's really set up to be a great sport to bet on.

The Snooker World Championship is the pinnacle of the snooker season played over a fortnight at the Crucible in Sheffield every May. Snooker betting is mainly concentrated around the ranking events such as the Grand Prix; the British Open, the UK Championship, the Welsh Open, Irish Masters and the World Championship. John Higgins will be the defending his Championship at the Crucible in 2010.

The first big snooker tournament to be played in 2010 was the Masters at Wembley Arena. Although the Masters is not a ranking tournament it is always a special event as just the top 16 will be present for the tournament. Mark Selby continued his excellent run in the competition beating Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-9 in the final. In three years Selby has lost only one match and that was in the 2009 final. The next snooker tournament is the Welsh Open beginning on the 25th January.

There will be ante post betting available on most of these events and the leading bookmakers reviewed on this site will mark up the odds on these ranking events. If you are considering a bet on any snooker event and you are new customer to any of the online bookmakers on this site you will be entitled to Free Snooker Bets.

Popular Snooker Bets

Match Betting

Bet on the player you think will win the match. Try to do as much research on the player form and the head to heads between the players before placing your bet. Some bookmakers will offer handicap betting to even out the odds, giving the better players some frames defecit. 

Outright Betting

You can bet on any of the snooker tournaments right up until the off and whenever there is a break in play. It is actually during the tournament that you can find some real value in the outright betting as a player could look right out of the match let alone the tournament before they get things back on track. 

Frame Betting

Frame betting is an ideal market to play in-running. You can of course bet on what you think the frame score in a match will be before play, but in-running you can get on quick when players are at the table to get the best odds. 

Live Snooker In-Running Bets 

Any of the markets above will feature in a good bookmakers's in-running diary, plus markets such as next frame winner and top break. Because of the television coverage and speed of play, snooker lends itself perfectly to in-running betting.
