Top snooker players from all over the world battle it out to become the best in the sport. Elite competitions get extensive television coverage in the UK, and there is an engaged betting community seeking the best odds and markets.
If you’re more used to betting on football, Betano reveals the key things you need to know before making your snooker betting selections. We highlight the different snooker betting markets and explain how the odds work, whether you’re backing Ronnie O’Sullivan to continue his extended winning career or fancy top earners Mark Allen or Judd Trump.
Snooker betting markets will depend on the tournament. For example, there will be more on offer at the Triple Crown events - the World Championships, The Masters and the UK Championship.
Bigger events have odds for who’ll win the tournament. You can pick an outright winner or place an each-way bet, where you can still pocket some cash if your selection makes it to the tournament final. For specific matches, you might find odds relating to the final score in frames.
As a significant championship approaches, check out our odds pages to see everything available.
Betting on snooker is simple once you familiarise yourself with how the Betano platform works. Here are some steps to get started when it comes to registering and placing your bet:
If you want to place a live bet instead of a wager before the event, you won’t need to wait for the event to start before placing your bet. You can place your bet even after the match has started if you have enough money in your betting account.
Remember that placing bets should be done responsibly. We invite you to explore the Betano Safer Gambling Portal for a safe and enjoyable experience when betting on snooker.
Betano offers in-play betting, so you can bet on a match as it progresses. This might be beneficial if you believe that momentum is shifting.
When a tournament is underway, and the players are competing to progress to the next round, you can bet on the outcome of a frame, the number of frames won, and other markets relevant to that match.
When it comes to live betting, there are so many betting channels to choose from. Take the rugby betting markets at Betano; match betting, handicaps, half-time/full-time, and winning margins are available for betting customers. These types of offerings apply across many sports on our platform.
Each-way betting is an excellent way to back up your bet in case the player you’ve selected falls at the final hurdle. But how does it work?
Rather than betting on somebody to win a tournament outright, an each-way bet requires you to wager half the stake on the player to win the game and the other half on them reaching the final but not necessarily winning.
You’ll receive reduced odds for an each-way bet, like at half of the price you were given for the player to win outright. Therefore, if your selection finishes 2nd, you get half the winnings than if they won the tournament.
An easier way to think of it, say if you want to bet £10 on Mark Allen to win the UK Championship at hypothetical odds of 10/1, is that you’re betting £5 on him winning the tournament and £5 on him reaching the final.
You’ll get your total winnings from the £5 bet at the odds stated if they win the tournament, plus the winnings from ½ the odds of the other £5 each-way bet. If Allen finishes in 2nd place, you’ll get the winnings from the ½ odds, but you’ll lose your outright £5 bet.
Sports betting on Betano is simple and easy to navigate on the platform, whether on the website or mobile site. We offer odds on all major sports, including football, horse racing, cricket, and boxing.
All the traditional sports you could ask for are on the Betano site, but we also have an extensive range of Esports markets you can explore. This contemporary form of betting lets you access an incredible catalogue of enjoyable betting channels, like wagering on Counter-Strike, Valiant, League of Legends, and more.
