Welcome to the Snooker portal

Snooker has been a popular betting medium since the 1970s and in 1978 Coral became the first big sponsor of the second most prestigious tournament to carry world-ranking points, the UK Championship.

The sport adapted well to television - sponsors became keen to give their names to tournaments - and with many viewers switching on to watch extensive coverage of the latter stages of major events betting turnover grew together with the number of markets on which punters could bet.
