Looking at the World Snooker Tour 2023-24 odds from German online bookies, it’s clear that even though he hasn’t won a ranking event in almost a year and a half, Ronnie O’Sullivan is still the man to beat in Nuremberg. The Englishman pays 6.00 (5/1), ahead of Judd Trump at 7.50 (13/2). Behind him, Mark Selby and Neil Robertson are neck and neck on 9.00 (8/1) and 9.50 (17/2), respectively, before Shaun Murphy rounds out the top five on 12.00 (11/1). On many betting sites new offers are already available, so try them.

Understanding the 2023 Snooker EU Masters

Typically played as the second ranking event of the season, the European Masters is an important benchmark in the snooker year. With a 64-player draw and qualifying having already taken place in late July, the field is all ready to go with £80,000 up for grabs for this year’s winner.

Snooker European Masters 2023 Betting Tips

We’ve been watching the snooker live odds and have come up with three expert picks. Here are our top 2023 Snooker European Masters predictions:

Tip #1

Shaun Murphy to Win @ 12.00 (11/1)

Risky Bet

Shaun Murphy to Win

12.00 (11/1)

It’s safe to say that Shaun Murphy is the hottest thing in snooker right now. The Englishman rounded out 2022-23 by winning two of the final four events. Now, he’s claimed the opening tournament of the new season. Clearly, Murphy’s form is no fluke – it takes consistency to go all the way in the Championship League, which is exactly what he did last month.

Given that both Ronnie O’Sullivan and Neil Robertson haven’t played an event yet this season, and Judd Trump fell relatively early in the Championship League, it’s very realistic that none of them will pose a threat to Murphy in Nuremberg. We say back the Englishman to win another, for great odds of 12.00 (11/1).

Tip # 2

Mark Selby to Win Third Quarter @ 3.25 (9/4)

Event Prediction

Mark Selby to Win Third Quarter

Best odds:

3.25 (9/4)

Agree with prediction?

(2 voted)

2 (100%)

Mark Selby and Ronnie O’Sullivan are sitting in the same quarter at this year’s European Masters, which usually wouldn’t bode well for Selby. However, as we touched on above, this is O’Sullivan’s first tournament in a while after his late withdrawal from the Championship League.

O’Sullivan hasn’t won here in two decades, and with his current lull in form over the past nine months, it’s quite easy to see him coming back rusty and getting upset – either by Selby himself or an earlier opponent.
