“Did he just pot that off the top cushion, bru?”
That’s how people talk about snooker. People who think it’s a slow game are always proven wrong by a crazy shot that no one saw coming. If you’re bored of betting on rugby or soccer, then why not try betting on snooker at YesPlay? It requires a lot of patience and there are also lots of cool prices that you can bet on.
This is suited for South Africans watching sport. You don’t have to pay too much attention. You just need to know what you’re betting on.
Why Snooker
Snooker matches break down into frames, which in turn break down into runs. The whole structure provides an opportunity for gamblers to place a bet on a game without guessing the script. Sport that rewards concentration is loved by many and this one definitely scratches that itch.
Markets on YesPlay
YesPlay has a tab dedicated to snooker that can be found in the Sports section of the website https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/snooker. There, you’ll find match options like Winner, Total frames, and Frame handicap. For those of you who like to get real deep with it, click on the “More markets” tab and see what’s hidden there. In terms of the tournament itself, YesPlay also offers options such as Tournament Winner, Top 2, quarter winners, Winning Half, Winning Quarter, and even Winning Nationality.
Here’s a simple example: if you bet R29 on a team that’s priced at 1.87 to win the match, you’ll get R54.23 in return if your bet lands. It’s not some kind of magic money trick. It simply means you were happy with the price for something that you knew was likely to happen.
Start-Time Snare
One rule that catches people unaware: YesPlay may close betting very fast, once the match officially begins. If you want a certain bet, place it sooner rather than later. Don’t go betting on Snooker when you’re tilted and trying to win back some money. You’ll only get yourself in a deeper hole because Snooker can be a very unforgiving game for impatient players.
