As far as I've seen these are the basics for snooker betting.

My first succesful bet on snooker was that the first color that will be potted will be the yellow, and it will be by Shaun Murphy

Yup, I place a few on the winner of the world championship every year. My best year was 2014 when I had bet on 3 out of 4 of the semi finalists at the outset. Made an nice profit that year.

its not serious at all, very little wagered and any large bet will be scrutinized prior to approval

When I was in London last year Hillary was an 11 to 3 favorite and Trump was a 3 to 11 underdog at Ladbrokes.
