A busy two months of snooker continues this coming week, with the BetVictor English Open 2022 unfolding from Monday, 12 December, through to Sunday, 18 December. Last week’s Scottish Open saw an upset victory for Gary Wilson, meaning there will be plenty of big names in snooker licking their wounds and ready to have another crack at glory this week.
Neil Robertson heads into this tournament both the defending champion and the favorite in the betting odds by Australian bookies. With a runner-up result last week in Scotland, Robertson will be confident of his chances in Brentwood.
However, World No.1 Ronnie O’Sullivan will be eager to finish the year on a high, while Gary Wilson is undoubtedly looking to ride his momentum from Scotland all the way into this week’s tournament. We look at all of the betting odds ahead of the first break on Monday and analyze the best bets to be made.

As expected, it’s the usual suspects leading the betting odds ahead of next week’s English Open 2022. Compared to the betting odds this time last week heading into the Scottish Open, Neil Robertson is the only player to improve his odds, going from 6.00 to 5.50 (5/1 to 9/2).
The other big names have all decreased slightly or stayed the same, with Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump both narrowly behind Robertson on 6.50 (11/2), while the Marks are a bit off the pace on 12.00 (11/1) for Selby and 17.00 (16/1) for Allen.

Since then, here’s how the event has unfolded:
No player has won the English Open twice, with both Neil Robertson and Judd Trump making the final twice for a win and a loss. Neil Robertson will be eager to make his third consecutive final this year and go one further than 2021 to claim his second title in Brentwood this week.
Those who want to bet on the English Open have plenty of strong options this week, with major bookmakers offering various betting odds across the different favorites. Here are our top picks and predictions:
Australia’s Neil Robertson is in fine form in the 2022-23 snooker season so far and enters this event ranked No.4 in the world. However, fresh off a finals appearance in the Scottish Open, where he was upset by Englishman Gary Wilson, Robertson will be confident that he is striking the ball well and capable of going all the way in Brentwood.
The English Open has been a favorable tournament for Robertson, who walked away with the silverware this time last year. Given his form and history, a bet on Robertson to win again this year and become the first two-time English Open champion would not be out of line. The odds of this happening still offer a healthy return at 5.50 (9/2) as well.
For those looking to do some England betting, there are plenty of strong options in this draw.
One of these is Judd Trump, who is an odds-on favorite to win his quarter this English Open. The Englishman will be desperate to bounce back from an upset loss of his own last week when he was bundled out of the Scottish Open in the quarterfinals by Thailand’s Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. A player of Trump’s quality rarely gets upset two weeks in a row, making a semifinal appearance in England a strong possibility for Trump.
Trump’s closest competition in the third quarter of the draw is Kyren Wilson, who he is seeded to meet in the quarterfinals. Wilson was also defeated in the quarterfinals last week. However, given their discrepancy in the world ranking, he is at much longer odds to win this week. With a solid return of 2.80 (9/5), this bet is a mixture of conservative with a healthy profit still if successful.
For those who are constantly surfing the best betting apps for high-return bets to make, then we have an excellent one that can be placed this coming week on the English Open 2022.
Last week, World No.32 stunned the snooker world by carving up the field in Scotland, even defeating Neil Robertson in the final.
Now, riding that wave of momentum, Gary Wilson is up to No.18 in the world and eager to keep winning silverware. Though the chances of the Englishman pulling off back-to-back upsets in consecutive weeks are long, the reality is Wilson was the best snooker player in the world last week. If he can play at the same level again, he’ll take some stopping again in England.
Outright odds for Gary Wilson to win on online betting sites are astronomical, with the 37-year-old paying as much as 67.00 (66/1) to back up his Scottish Open win in Brentwood this week.
This coming week will undoubtedly serve up another entertaining week of snooker action. Some past champions are eager to prove that they still have what it takes to win the silverware, while Gary Wilson is eager to ride a wave of momentum and claim consecutive titles. Our sports betting preview predicts that Australia’s Neil Robertson will be victorious here and become the first man to win more than one English Open. Tune in on Monday to find out.
