If you ask us, 2025 is one of the fastest flowing years in recent times. Maybe we’re just getting older. Whatever the case might be, April is almost upon us, and that means only one thing – the Snooker World Championship is almost upon us. The premium snooker competition is scheduled from April 19th to May 5th. It will be an opportunity for the best of the best snooker players to test their skill against each other.
Being fans of cricket, this is the right moment to talk about the favourites to win the upcoming competition. Some of the names you hear all the time will be there, and we have a few surprising mentions too. If you already have your favorites you can go check out the latest snooker odds right away. If not, keep on reading and check out who we have as favorites to win it all this year. These are our 2025 snooker World Championship favorites and their odds of winning the whole thing and taking the premium trophy home.
Judd Trump
At the moment Judd Trump appears to be a clear cut favourite to win the 2025 Snooker World Championship. His odds are set at 7/2 as he has his eyes on the prize. This year, the budget is rather massive, and whoever wins this competition is going home with £500,000. The full prize pot is set at £2.3million. This is quite extravagant, and all the players including Trump will be eyeing the top spots. Right now, Trump is on an incredible run, having 88 century breaks and on a trajectory to become the first player ever to break the century mark. This is only one of the signs that he is having one hell of a year, and that he is rightfully favourite at the upcoming tournament. If you see him as such too, you can go straight to Sportsbet.io and place your bets.
Ronnie O’Sullivan
With odds set at 6/1 Ronnie is one of the front runners for the Snooker World Championship as he has been so many times in the past. One of the biggest, if not the biggest, legends of the sport still got it. Many punters believe that he should be a favourite to win this one too, as his swansong has not yet been sung. That’s at least what his fans are claiming. There might be something to it, as his odds are not too far behind the in-from Trump. So, we’re not looking at the top dog, but if we were Trump, looking behind his back for O’Sullivan would be a wise move. At the end of the day, Ronnie has won this tournament seven times before. Adding the eight iterations wouldn’t come as a major surprise to anyone. The Rocket has been away from sport for a while now, and some sources claim that he could have been already out of the tournament. At the same time, others claim that he’s been resting precisely due to this tournament. If the latter is the case 6/1 are the odds that the bookies have for O’Sullivan.
Mark Selby
The third favourite to take the 2025 title home is Mark Selby the bookies see him as being close to the top two players, and have set his odds at 7/1. Interestingly, Selby has won the Championship more recently than Trump, having secured the title back in 2021. His last title sits nicely between two taken by O’Sullivan. Mark will be looking to get back to the top, and his recent form suggests that he might be up to the task if the stars align his way. He proved his worth at this year’s Welsh Open where he took home the title. If he continues his good form in April and May, we could be looking at a threat bigger than O’Sullivan and Trump.
Kyren Wilson
With 8/1 odds, Wilson is also among the competitors to take home the 2025 Snooker World Championship title. Statistically speaking, right now, he has 11.1% chances of taking home the title. We could argue that Wilson has been facing bigger obstacles in his career. At the end of the day, bookmakers know how to push the bettors into making wrong decisions by misplacing odds. You who follow snooker know that Kyren Wilson won the title last year. So, as the title holder he should be the one favoured to win, right? Well, he isn’t but that shouldn’t stop you from placing your bet on him, as he just might be able to make a repeat of last year’s success despite not being favoured by the bookies at the moment.
What you have above, are the top four favorites to take home the 2025 Snooker World Championship title home. Other names in the mix are Shaun Murphy, Neil Robertson, and Mark Allen, all with the identical 12/1 odds. It’s up[ to you to make the final choice. We know who we got!
