Gambling between pro players

[bazkook]

Sorry if this has already been asked or addressed but I am curious if the any pro snooker players in the U.K. or other European countries have matched up and played for any significant amount of money? If so for how much and what was the race and format? Thanks in advance!

Hi there.

I know a few of the top professionals and I know quite a bit about what goes on in the sport, but to my knowledge there are seldom, if any, big money matches that take place amongst the professional players.

I guess it would have happened a lot possibly up to the 1980s, but snooker has changed so much since then.

Professional players will practice together regularly, but they won't play for anything significant.

Best wishes.

Alan.

How do pool players get rich from giving each other money?
It's a zero sum game.

Snooker players get prize money, exhibition fees, endorsements.

A win in a recognized snooker tournament stays on the record in perpetuity.
No one keeps records of pool players' bets.
