Snooker Wagers

For betting purposes only “legally” potted balls count. This means that whenever there is a “foul ball” involved, the potted balls do not count. Bets will be settled accordingly.

Match Winner: Wager on which player will win the match. A snooker match is deemed to have started with the break for the first frame. Unless otherwise stated, all bets will stand providing that the initial break has been taken at the beginning of the match. The winner of the match is the player who progresses to the next round or is deemed the winner by the governing body.

Frame Betting (Correct Score): The bet refers to the correct final score in frames.

Frame Winner: This bet refers to winner of a specific frame. The respective frame must be completed for bets to stand.

Length of frame/match: Bets will be settled on the time elapsed from the starting break to the end of the frame or match, whether through normal play or concession.

In the event of a re-rack in any frame the following rules apply:

Frame winner: all bets stand and will be settled on the official winner of the frame.

Completed bets: all bets that are already determined before the re-rack stand. Repeated occurrences after the re-rack will be irrelevant for betting purposes.

Uncompleted bets: Bets that are not determined before the re-rack will be settled on actions occurring after the re-rack only. Any occurrences before the re-rack will be irrelevant for betting purposes.

All bets referring to the result of the frame (e.g. totals, odd/even betting) will be settled on the official result of the frame.

Length of frame/match: Bets will be settled on the time elapsed from the starting break to the end of the frame or match, whether through normal play or concession.

Tournament Winner: If a player fails to start a tournament or match all bets on that player or individual match will be refunded.

Total Balls (Over/Under): If the match is abandoned before its completion then all bets will be refunded, unless the highest possible total to bet on has been attained in which case all bets stand. The “Cue” ball does not count for betting purposes. For betting purposes, only “legally” potted balls count. This means that whenever there is a “foul ball” involved, the potted balls do not count.
