Snooker Betting Sites

As straightforward as it gets in sports betting: who will win the match.

Snooker is played as a best of format (usually out of 7, 9, or 11 frames, though finals will generally be played best of 17 or 19), and you can wager on each individual one. Frame betting in snooker actually encompasses a number of different outcomes you can bet on for each frame:

• Frame Winner - The frame winner is the most common bet for each stage in the match.
• First Potted Ball Color - A quick and fun bet, which color will the first legally potted ball be?
• Total Points O/U - Depending on the players in the match, the total points for the frame can be wagered individually, or total for both players added together, though the latter is more common. Usually you will see the Over/Under line set around 100 points for each frame.
• First to Score - Another nice and quick snooker bet, you can bet on who you thing will score first on each frame.

Frame Breaks refer to the score a player will have directly off the break (no missed shots). Generally you will have the option of 50+ or 100+ (also called 'Centuries' on certain betting sites that only offer this market for 100+ Frame Breaks).

Because of the number of players who can score a ton of points off the break, this has become a very popular snooker market and can be an exhilarating way to wager especially if you can follow the action live.

An especially interesting wager when players are closely matched, snooker 'races' basically let you pick the player you think will win a certain number of frames first.

First to 3 frames is the most common, though there can be variations.

Bet & Get offers are about as straightforward as they come - bet a certain amount and get bonus bets to use in place of cash on the betting site. Some bet & get bonuses are tied to specific events, but more often than not the bonus bets you are awarded can be used on any market, including snooker!

Second Chance Bets tend to be reserved primarily for welcome bonuses, and refund the loss of an initial wager up to a certain amount as bonus bets. There are very few restrictions on markets (generally the only bet type not allowed with a second chance bet is a parlay), making it a great bonus to use on snooker.

Parlay insurance is a fantastic way to protect yourself when making a slightly riskier wager, which parlays inherently are given all legs need to win to be successful. Parlay insurance refunds a portion or all of your wager if a single leg of your bet fails, giving you bonus bets that can be wagered again to try and win your money back.

The main limitation of parlay insurance for snooker is that betting sites don't offer Same Game Parlays for the sport right now, meaning you will be limited to traditional multi game parlays which don't allow for the same level of creativity when designing a bet.
