2024 Snooker Shoot Out Odds & Betting Markets

Snooker Shoot Out is an iconic version of the game that debuted in 1990. It’s essentially a one-frame match that can last a maximum of ten minutes, which adds to the excitement. After launching in 1990, the competition was rested until 2011, when it was revived. Between 2011 and 2016, Snooker Shoot Out was a non-ranking event, but from 2017 onwards, it’s been a ranking event, which has naturally seen many seek out Snooker Shoot Out odds as the sport’s leading players are all involved. 

Snooker betting, in many respects, remains the same where markets are concerned for Snooker Shoot Out, even though it happens to be a complete move away from the sport in its traditional guise. Placing a bet on Snooker Shoot Out couldn’t be easier, and there are, as is the case with every snooker tournament, multiple markets to explore at BetVictor. 

Outright Betting 

Outright betting is the most popular market explored in conjunction with Snooker Shoot Out, both before the event and during. Outright betting is when bets are placed on who will win the tournament. Many may, for example, wager on Chris Wakelin to run out as winner because he’s the current champion and the man to beat. 

Match Betting 

Match betting is also popular with Snooker Shoot Out, but it’s worth noting that only one frame will be played per match, so all bets must be placed before games get underway. As always, there will be matches where the odds are quite far apart between players and some that are closer. But as the winners of the competition haven’t been from the top fifteen world-ranked players, it makes for interesting match betting. 

Highest Break 

Every snooker player dreams of hitting 147s or securing the highest breaks possible, which, if they pull it off, will be hugely advantageous in one-frame shoot-out games at this tournament. Odds on Snooker Shoot out highest breaks are usually high and regularly sought out because of the parameters of the one-frame, ten-minute matches. So far, no player has scored a maximum break, with Mark Allen’s break of 142 in 2021 being the highest recorded. 

In its current guise of being a ranked event, there have been seven winners of Snooker Shoot Out in seven years, which differs from other tournaments where you will often get players who are victorious multiple times or some who manage to defend their respective titles. The defending champion coming into the 2024 Snooker Shoot Out is Mark Allen, but previous winners include Hossein Vafaei, Ryan Day, Michael Holt, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, Michael Georgiou and Anthony McGill. The likes of Mark Selby and Mark Williams, who both ranked within the top fifteen at the time, have been beaten finalists. 

As mentioned above, in Snooker Shoot Out’s current guise, there have been seven winners across the seven tournaments, which means picking a winner based on previous events is going to be tough. Mark Allen, the defending champion, performed brilliantly in 2023, so you could suggest he has a slight edge going into the 2024 Snooker Shoot Out event. But it’s very much anyone’s game because each match is one frame and on the clock. There must also be a time when a player from the top fifteen rankings is finally declared the winner, something that hasn’t happened so far.
