Snooker

Introduction of Snooker:

Snooker is a form of billiards game, and its name means “obstruction” or “impediment,” so it is also called obstructive billiards. In this sport, the sequence of shots consists of a red ball followed by a colored ball until all red balls are pocketed, and then the colored balls are pocketed in ascending order of value (15 red balls are worth one point each; the yellow ball is worth 2 points; the green ball is worth 3 points; the brown ball is worth 4 points; the blue ball is worth 5 points; the pink ball is worth 6 points; and the black ball is worth 7 points). Finally, the player with the highest score is the winner.

Rules of Snooker:

Snooker is played between two or more players, either individually or in teams. The following rules can be summarized:

1. During the game, players hit the same target balls. There is a total of 21 target balls, including 15 red balls worth one point each, and colored balls worth 2 to 7 points.
2. The player must pocket the red balls and the colored balls alternately until all the red balls are pocketed, and then the colored balls in ascending order of value.
3. The value of each pocketed ball in a single shot is added to the player’s score.
4. If a player commits a foul, the points awarded should be added to the opponent’s score.
5. The basic tactic of snooker is to try to leave the target balls in a position where the opponent cannot hit a valid ball, creating obstacles. If a team is losing by many points, it is important to create obstacles for the opponent to receive penalties.
6. To win a frame, a player must have the highest score; the opponent can concede the frame; or the opponent can receive a penalty for “inadvertently striking a ball” or “unsportsmanlike conduct.”
7. To win a match, a player or team must win more frames or have the highest score in case of a tie; or the opponent can receive a penalty for “unsportsmanlike conduct.”
8. The winner of a tournament will be the player or team that has won the most frames or obtained the highest accumulated score.

Explanation of the rules:

1. All rules and terms are valid for both men and women.
2. If necessary, adjustments can be made to apply the rules to certain individuals with special difficulties, such as wheelchair players who cannot be penalized for “both feet on the ground”; if a player cannot distinguish between red and green, after requesting it from the referee, they should be informed about the color of the ball; when there is no referee, players or teams must follow the rules established in this document.

Formula for winning in Snooker:

To improve consistency in betting, it is crucial to understand the overall direction of the game. Observing the scoreboard, offensive rhythm, and team momentum are important factors in determining the outcome of bets. Paying attention to these aspects can help assess the dynamics of the match and make more informed betting decisions.

If a player wins a frame due to the opponent not participating, bets placed on “winning the first frame,” “winning the nth frame,” and related bets for that frame will be void.

“Match betting,” “handicap betting,” “total frames,” “first to win 3 frames,” “first 4/6 frames total champions/precise score,” will be settled as usual.

“Winner of the next four frames” and “winner of the next frame/precise score”: If these four frames/one frame are not completed due to the match outcome already determined, all bets will be void except those already determined as “loss.”

If the total frames are not completed due to time constraints, settlement will occur when the match resumes and reaches the settlement point.

Knockout stage: Players must play at least one shot in the match for the bet to be valid.
