The Masters Odds & Snooker Betting Online

The Masters is one of the most popular tournaments in the snooker calendar and is also one of the Triple Crown events, alongside the UK Championship and the World Championship. It features the top 16 players in the world and since 2012, the event has been hosted inside of the Alexandra Palace in London. There was one exception to this in 2021, however, when it took place in the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2026, action will get underway on Sunday the 11th of January, with play lasting for exactly one week. This means that the final will be played on Sunday the 18th of January, across both the 1pm and 7pm sessions (BST).

On this page, you can find a comprehensive range of snooker betting odds, covering a variety of different markets for the 2026 Masters. We also look at the different types of snooker bets, the favourites to win the event, and more!

What is the Masters in Snooker?

The Masters is one of the most exclusive, if not the most exclusive, events in the world of snooker. It features the top 16 players in the world, according to the rankings at the time of the UK Championship, who have been competing annually since 1983. The tournament officially started in 1975, with John Spencer claiming the first-ever victory after defeating Ray Reardon 9 - 8 in a thrilling final, however, the field only sat at 10 players before expanding to 12 in 1981, and then to 16 a total of two years later.

It's held at the Alexandra Palace in London, which has been the home of The Masters since 2012, apart from in 2021 when the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes stepped in. Each year, The Masters occurs in January and is the second event in the Triple Crown series, in order of typical play. This means that many eyeballs will be on the winner of the World Championship, with fans being eager to see whether they can set themself up for success and a shot at the Triple Crown later in the year.

The tournament follows a single elimination knockout format, with the first round, quarter finals, and semi finals all being a best of 11 frames affair, meaning that whichever player wins 6 frames first will be declared the winner and progress to the next stage of the event. In the final, it's a best-of-19-frame match.

When it comes to snooker betting markets, there are plenty of different options to choose from, focusing on both individual games and the tournament as a whole:

Outright Winner - This market focuses on picking the overall winner of The Masters event. Players who wager on this market will only be awarded at the corresponding rate should their chosen player lift the trophy and claim the top spot.
Name the Finalists - As the name suggests, this type of snooker bet involves naming the two finalists for the 2026 Masters. Both players must be correct in order for this bet to be marked as a successful one.
To Reach the Final - With this bet, you can pick one of the snooker players in the event and if they manage to reach the final, the potential winnings will be awarded at the corresponding rate.
Match Winner - Next up is the 'Match Winner' market, which allows you to pick the victor of a particular snooker game. These are updated throughout the tournament as matches are decided, so be sure to check back as the event progresses to see more!
Handicap - A handicap bet involves picking a snooker player to win with a certain number of frames added or subtracted from their score. For example, if you picked Ronnie O'Sullivan with a -1.5 handicap, he would need to win by 2 or more frames for this bet to be marked as a successful one.
Correct Score - One of the hardest bets to predict is the correct score of a chosen match. However, the odds are higher to reflect this. Betting on the exact score means that only one outcome will award the associated potential winnings and players must guess the winning player correctly, too.
Total Frames - With this type of snooker betting market, a number will be shown and punters must pick whether they think more or less frames will be played during the game. For example, if under 9.5 is picked and the final score is 6-3, this bet will be successful, as only 9 frames would have been played in total.

Of course, these aren't the only betting markets that are available at BetVictor. With other popular options being the nationality of the winning player, the player who will score the highest break throughout the entirety of the event, and which player will win their respective quarter.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is the most successful snooker player in the history of The Masters, lifting the trophy a total of 8 times. Here's a look at the previous winners of the event for the past 10 years, alongside the other players who managed to reach the final:

Year	Winner	Finalist
2025	Shaun Murphy	Kyren Wilson

The favourite to win the 2026 Masters is Judd Trump, the current world number one. Judd had an incredible 2025, reaching the finals in the UK Championship, the Northern Ireland Open, and the Xi'an Grand Prix. He was also victorious in the Saudi Arabia Masters after defeating Mark Williams 10-9 in the final.

Next up, according to The Masters snooker odds is Ronnie O'Sullivan, the defending champion. In typical Ronnie fashion, his form has been up and down in the past 12 months; however, if O'Sullivan can find a stretch of form, he's arguably the best player to have ever graced the game. Ronnie is then followed by Kyren Wilson, the third-rated player in the world in terms of prize money.
