Snooker is a sport that has been loved by Australians for many years and it continues to carry great interest across the country. Eddie Charlton was one of the men responsible for bringing the sport to a wider audience while Neil Robertson’s success at the World Championships in 2010 was the first by an Aussie in the modern era.
Naturally, this is a global sport and, while Robertson still competes, there are many world class cuemen battling it out across the snooker season. Along the way, Unibet are here with extensive markets coupled with excellent odds for all the action on the green baize.
The biggest tournament in snooker is that world championship which is held in England every year. The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield is the location with the best players battling it out across three weeks of action.
In the build up to the competition, there are many ranking events where players can earn points that will see them become exempt from world championship qualifying. Those ranking tournaments are important in their own right and they include the English Open, the Riga Masters, the China Open and the Northern Ireland Open.
Other events such as the Masters and the Shanghai Masters are technically non-ranking tournaments but they are highly valued by players and will continue to draw strong fields every year.
Betting on snooker tournaments starts with the overall winner and there can be other outright markets such as whether any player will make a maximum 147 break. When the competition starts, match betting on every game up to and including the final will be in place while snooker can also provide us with a range of prop markets.
Total Frames and Correct Score are among side bets that can be taken for the big snooker events on the circuit.
