Betting odds are now offered on the 2024 Snooker Shoot Out
This week sees another ranking event take place in Snooker with the 2024 Snooker Shoot Out coming up in Leicester from Wednesday.
UK Betting Sites are offering outright odds on who will win the tournament this year with defending champion Mark Allen the 20/1 favourite for the event.
The one-frame shoot out tournament is arguably the toughest to win on the circuit with each match played over a single frame for a maximum 10 minutes.
Winning the event gets to a £50,000 prize and betting odds put Allen above the rest of the competitors as the favourite to defend his title this year.
Allen is 20/1 at the top of the latest betting market with BetVictor, with Neil Robertson and Mark Selby following just behind in the odds at 22/1.
| Snooker Shoot Out 2024 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Mark Allen | 20/1 | 4.8% |
| Neil Robertson | 22/1 | 4.3% |
| Mark Selby | 22/1 | 4.3% |
| Shaun Murphy | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Barry Hawkins | 25/1 | 3.8% |
What the expert says...
Allen won the fast-paced tournament last year
Last year's Snooker Shoot Out saw Mark Allen win the event, with a 65-4 final victory against Cao Yupeng sealing the deal on the title.
2023 was also a special year for the Shoot Out with the first 147 recorded in the event by Shaun Murphy in what was his 8th maximum break.
Such is the difficulty and unpredictability of the event that Mark Allen's win last year was the first recorded by a Top-16 player in the history of the event.
