Which is exactly why the matches can not take place in a casino, and....the players can not know what's being bet on them!!

It may not happen much but, everyone knows that ever so often info is gonna leak. At that point, lol....players gonna make money.

Legal gambling and the players will rip you a new new one.

Don't believe me? Go to a tournament and let just two players that are in finals know your betting big on them but not gonna give them anything........lol.... you would get chopped faster than cheap meat.

First off I can assure you especially if there is a Filipino or Asian playing in the finals there is big money being bet in house and online
Secondly in Europe you can bet the Euro 9 ball tour and they been betting snooker for decades, do they ever have a dump of corse they do but it’s rare ,

I agree. The gambling on snooker is pretty closely monitored/regulated. They do occasionally nab bad actors but they are swiftly dealt with in most cases. I have no problems with allowing it in pool. With Matchroom increasing its visibility i think it won't be long before they at least try it.

And the punishments are severe. Sometimes a lifetime ban.

There are 3 types of people- in order of intelligence

1-Those that know what they know
2-Those that know what they don't know
3-Those that don't know what they don't know


The third category are often the loudest and most sure of themselves and they only fool those in the same category.

If he doesnt make money-we wont have the tourny or the matches. Do you think he is a philanthropist? Plenty of pool players dont understand why they have to pay for Time or coffee either-I know at least 5 of them.

Is this a serious question? I haven’t bought a DVD in at least seven years.
Barry Hearn knows what to do. Look at the prize funds for world snooker and
PDC darts. Why can they do it without charging some kind of PPV rate like
it’s the heavyweight championship of the world?! The coverage is on their
version of ESPN (sky sports) and FS1 (ITV4). Think about that. Setting your
DVR to watch pool because you already pay for a sports package.... or get
ripped off while supporting a lost cause. Are you pretending that this works??

Get your head out of the clouds. That isn't how this one is working.

You realize that people that get those stations have to pay for them, right?

Or do you also think stealing cable is cool?

Hey, guess what? Barry Hearn don't put up a DIME to support Snooker, you're smoking some good shit if you think he does. Barry Hearn is all about making a profit off events like pool, darts, boxing, or anything else he can promote to make a dollar.

Here's who REALLY puts up the money for the world Snooker championships!!!

What is "betfred"

Wikipedia

Betfred

Betfred*is a UK-based*bookmaker, named after its co-founders Fred and Peter Done. It was first established as a single shop in Ordsall, Salford, in 1967. Its turnover in 2004 was more than £3.5 billion, having risen from £550 million in 2003. As of February 2016, the company has 1,370 betting shops.

Its head office is in Birchwood, Warrington. The CEO is John Haddock, who started with the company as a regional manager. Mark Stebbings is the MD of the Retail and Pool Division and Rakesh Chablani MD of the Digital Division.

Fred Done was the first ever bookmaker to pay out early (i.e. before the result was guaranteed), when in March 1998 it paid out to gamblers who had bet that Manchester United would win the Premier League, only for Arsenal to pip United by one point. Betfred also paid out early on Manchester United to win the 2011–12 Premier League title, only for Manchester City to beat them on goal difference.
