Snooker is currently enjoying a great legacy given to it by past characters such as Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Steve Davis. Those players amongst others, brought the sport firmly into the public eye and in turn, increased snooker’s popularity around the world.
These days, this is a global sport and as new tournaments are created, the snooker betting markets at Unibet are busier than ever.
Like many sports, result betting in snooker is a straight contest between two players and there is no option for the draw. That simplifies things and makes this the most popular option among the community.
Beyond that, there is a good range of side betting including total frames for either player and a correct score market. Remember that unlike some sports such as tennis, the number of available frames varies from round to round and from tournament to tournament so when you’re staking in the total frame market, the line will be set, depending on exactly how many frames are available.
When it comes to the bigger tournaments such as the World Championship which is held in Sheffield across April and May, the outright snooker betting markets will become more active and there may be options to stake on other specials such as any player recording a maximum break of 147.
The ranking system in snooker and the seeding at certain events means that earlier rounds are relatively easy to predict. There can be some shocks but these tend to be rare and therefore these are markets that the regular punters like to get involved with.
In the later rounds, players can be very evenly matched so that can lead to greater value in all the snooker betting markets including the side options such as correct score, total frames and the handicap.
It’s a sport enjoying great growth at present and snooker continues to develop right across the world so right now, this a good time to assess the markets and to get involved.
