Most South African bettors start out with soccer or rugby, which are fun and exciting but can get too stressful with all the things happening in the last few minutes of the match. With Snooker, things move a little slower, which gives you time to actually think before you make a bet. Because the game moves slowly you can spend a lot of time reading head-to-head records between players, see who’s been on tour for a while, who flew in yesterday, or who tends to crack under pressure. YesPlay treats snooker like any other sport on the site: fixed odds in Rand, and clear markets.
Snooker Numbers
On YesPlay, you can find the sport of Snooker, and a list of all the upcoming tournaments and matches. Or, if you prefer, you can just go directly to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/snooker and start betting that way. Most people simply bet on who they think is going to win the match, and as a result, it may be hard to get good odds on the favourites. What you want to do is look to the side and try your luck with frame handicaps or similar player specials.
Always try to think in Rands and not percentages when playing because it’s way easier. For example, if you want to bet R29 on a player at 2.63, the return will be around R76, which makes it just over R47 profit. Then you should ask yourself if that amount is really worth the risk.
Small Edges
If you want to win at Snooker you need to be patient and do a bit of research, though of course there are no guarantees. See if a player usually wins by grinding out 10-8 wins, or if they just smash their opponents by 5-0 when they’re in good shape. If they tend to win by close scorelines, you should try betting on small handicaps. Or if they tend to win big, then you should bet on frame handicaps.
Keep the format of each game in mind too. If you look at each price on the YesPlay snooker page as if it was a story, you’re already one step ahead of the game. You can see if the story holds up by looking at stats and the format of the game.
