Snooker World Championship Betting

Snooker World Championship Betting Odds

The Snooker World Championship, first staged in 1927, is the climax to the annual snooker calendar and the most important in terms of prestige, prize money and ranking points.

Held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield since 1977, the World Championship 'modern' era is widely accepted to have started in 1969, when it reverted to a knock-out tournament. In the modern era, Stephen Hendry is the most successful player, having won 7 times from 1990 to 1999. The defending champion is John Higgins, who defeated Shaun Murphy 18-9 in last year's final.

Snooker World Championship betting is usually dominated by Ronnie O'Sullivan, who has won 3 titles since 2001 and has been a semi-finalist on 8 occasions. The World Championship final has been contested by English and Scottish players every year since 2005, when Welshman Matthew Stevens lost to Murphy in the final.
