\"snooker\"Snooker may not enjoy the same levels of popularity as some other sports these days, but it is something you will consistently find on all betting sites \u2013 certainly ones that have UK customers.<\/p>\n

Its following is substantial enough that any UK-facing bookmaker would be foolish not to at least offer a small selection of odds for any upcoming action. Moreover, as the game gets increasingly global in nature, it is attracting fans from all over mainland Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n

The situation does not look like changing any time soon either with snooker still enjoying decent media and TV coverage. Additionally, it is a sport that many bookmakers actively sponsor as they know audiences are sufficiently large to make it worth their while.<\/p>\n

So, even though the sport may not be experiencing its heyday of the 1980s, it is still one you will be able to easily bet on for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

How to Bet on Snooker<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

We are writing this article largely from a British perspective but if you live overseas your access to snooker odds and markets could well be different. This is primarily because whilst snooker is now a sport that receives global interest, the United Kingdom remains the place where it is most widely followed. This is reflected in the British dominance of players in the world rankings and also the number of tournaments that are held on these shores \u2013 especially the biggest ones. That said, the game is booming in popularity in China too, although this is not a country with a welcoming approach to gambling.<\/p>\n

So, if you do live outside the UK, your preferred bookmaker may give you limited snooker coverage. This is less likely to be the case though if you pick a big global brand that operates in the UK and elsewhere. For those of you using such sites, snooker is a sport you can bet on all year round. Being both an indoor and physically undemanding sport has its benefits, and this means there is an almost constant supply of fixtures.<\/p>\n

This is not to say there are back-to-back high-profile tournaments but there is rarely a long wait before the next snooker competition. Speaking of major tournaments, most of these are held in the UK. Not only is it home of the World Snooker Championships, based at Sheffield\u2019s Crucible Theatre, but the UK Championship in York is another major meeting on the snooker calendar. Making up the final leg of the Triple Crown of the game\u2019s major events is The Masters, held at Alexandra Palace, London, since 2012. Thanks to the high concentration of UK-based events, timings of matches are very friendly to a UK audience, making placing bets more convenient for them.<\/p>\n

As is the case with most sports, the bigger the contest, the more betting markets a betting site will typically provide. For a relatively minor affair, you may be limited to just the \u2018match winner\u2019 market and perhaps a small handful of others.<\/p>\n

For more significant fixtures though, options can be plentiful and include some or possibly all of the options listed below.<\/p>\n
