Before diving into our expert 2024 SA Snooker Masters betting preview, let’s take a look at the odds from the top bookies that accept Skrill payments. Here’s a breakdown of the latest betting lines for this exciting tournament.
Snooker 2024 bookmakers have slapped the favorite tag on Judd Trump, who suffered an agonizing defeat to Kyren Wilson in the 2024 Xi’an Grand Prix final. The Englishman has the shortest World Snooker Tour 2024-25 odds to take the trophy home.
Having conquered the Riyadh Season World Masters earlier this year, the legendary Ronnie O’Sullivan is hungry for more Saudi snooker glory. After a disappointing showing at the Xi’an Grand Prix, the Rocket is determined to reclaim his top form and dominate the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters.
Kyren Wilson enters the fray fresh off his 2024 Xi’an Grand Prix success. Since he is also the current world champion, it comes as no surprise that Saudi Arabia legal bookies have assigned him favorable odds to go all the way in Riyadh.
Mark Selby fell to his fellow countryman David Gilbert in the 2024 Xi’an Grand Prix last 16, continuing his post-Shanghai Masters slump. Regardless, he boasts strong odds to make a statement in Riyadh next week.
Mark Allen has enjoyed two excellent seasons in recent times, but he is yet to hit momentum in the 2024–25 snooker season. After two last-16 finishes, can he expand his ranking trophy haul in the Saudi Arabian capital?
The bookies have weighed in on the 2024 Snooker Saudi Arabia Masters, unveiling their World Snooker Tour 2024-25 odds for the competition. But before you place your bets, let our snooker experts steer you toward potential champions and maximize your returns.

Mark Allen has been one of the most in-form snooker players over the last two seasons. The Northern Irishman has won 11 ranking titles in his 19-year-long professional career, and five of them have come in the last two seasons. While he is yet to win a title this season, we expect him to open the count with the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters trophy.
Mark Allen made history by becoming the first-ever world number one from Northern Ireland at the end of the 2023/24 season. This achievement capped off an incredible campaign that also included victories in the prestigious Shoot Out and Players Championship titles. The season earlier, he won the Northern Ireland Open, the UK Championship, and the World Grand Prix.

As you can see, the 2024 Snooker Saudi Arabia favorites list is dominated by English players. Four out of the top five contenders we’ve discussed are from England, but we’re putting our money on Mark Allen, the lone non-English player in the top five. Allen has been in the best form of his career lately, so we are confident that he will rediscover his spark in Riyadh.
Another non-English player you should keep an eye on is Luca Brecel. The Belgian has been quite inconsistent lately, but he did reach the Riyadh Season World Masters final earlier this year. As a former World Champion, Brecel offers excellent value at 29.00, making him a tempting longshot pick.
Mark Allen is yet to hit his peak this season, but we see him claiming the maiden Saudi Arabia snooker masters crown and breaking the English dominance.
