Ronnie O’Sullivan World Snooker Championship Odds
Ronnie O’Sullivan has strengthened as favourite at 6/4 from 5/2 with bookies BoyleSports to claim a historic eighth World Snooker Championship victory at the Crucible.
The Rocket’s bid to enter snooker’s history books kicks off on Wednesday afternoon, as he racks up against 22-year-old Welshman Jackson Page who is a 200/1 outsider to lift the sport’s biggest prize.

With O’Sullivan bidding to win the title three times in five years, his nearest rival according to the oddsmakers is Judd Trump, who will be hoping for a first win since beating John Higgins in the 2019 final. Trump sailed through to the last 16 with a 10-5 victory over Hossein Vafaei and is 11/4 second favourite to lift the famous trophy for a second time.
Mark Allen is eyeing a maiden World Championship title and with 11 ranking titles under his belt, he has been backed down to 13/2 from 11/1 for the Crucible crown after taking charge of his opening-round encounter with England’s Robbie Williams.
Further out in the betting is Shaun Murphy who comes in at odds of 11/1 after securing his passage to the Round of 16 with a comfortable 10-5 win over China’s Lyu Haotian.2020 World Championship runner-up Kyren Wilson is another familiar name near the top of the betting. Wilson is 12/1 in the outright betting market ahead of his Round 2 match against fellow Englishman Joe O’Connor.
Brian O’Keeffe, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said:
“Rocket Ronnie is a hot favourite to blast his way into the history books with another dominant display at the Crucible, but plenty are going to pocket a profit if eye-catcher Mark Allen ruins Ronnie’s record bid.”
