Champion of Champions Betting
The Champion of Champions is an invitational that pulls together the players who have lifted trophies over the previous year and puts them in one room. It carries no ranking points, but the prestige is real and the field is stacked: everyone there has won something recently. Staged in England and played in afternoon and evening SAST, it gives South African punters a compact, high-quality event where most matches are genuinely hard to call. This guide explains the format and the markets. For current form and live prices, defer to the CasinOnline sportsbook.

The event: an all-winners invitational
The Champion of Champions is invitational rather than open. Entry is earned by winning a tournament across the preceding season, so the line-up is a roll-call of recent champions instead of a full ranking draw. That makes for a small, elite field with no obvious filler.
Because it is an invitational it awards no ranking points. What it offers instead is prestige and prize money, plus the rare sight of in-form winners drawn against each other early. Greats across different eras have used the event to underline a strong run of titles. It is held in England, with sessions landing in the South African afternoon and evening (SAST), so it is comfortable viewing for local punters. For frame-by-frame mechanics see frame betting, and for the wider sport return to snooker betting.
How to bet it
The outright winner market is the headline. With a small, all-champions field there are fewer genuine outsiders, so prices tend to be shorter across the board and value is harder to spot than in a packed ranking event. Read the draw before backing a favourite to lift it.
Match markets are where most of the action sits: match winner, frame handicap (start one player a frame or two), total frames over/under, and highest break or centuries markets. Shorter matches in the early rounds raise variance, so a frame handicap can reshape an otherwise lopsided price. New to the markets? Start with how to bet on snooker, lean on snooker predictions for context, and consider in-play betting to trade momentum frame by frame. The sister invitational is the Shanghai Masters.
