Whether you are playing the match odds or the innovative frame-by-frame markets, it is important to be prepared for all possible eventualities and react accordingly.

Keeping Score

Always try and follow the score during each frame and work as far in advance as possible as you try to evaluate the situation if a player is at the table. Are there any reds safe on the cushion? Will the player need to go into the pack at any point? Are the black and pink in pot-able positions? If the frame is in its advanced stages then consider if there are any colours safe that will still be required to win the frame for the player at the table. You will see quite large movements in the market depending on who is at the table so gaining a clear picture of how the frame may develop is imperative if you are to make it pay.

Reading the Players

Try and keep an eye on the players' body language where possible. Snooker is a sport with a fine skill base and it is very difficult to play the game if you are not in the correct frame (forgive the pun) of mind.
