What Does “Which Player Wins the Rest of the Match” Mean?
In snooker betting, this market asks:
From now on, which player will win more frames until the match ends?
Important:
- Frames already completed do not count
- Only future frames are considered
- The overall match winner may be different from the winner of the “rest of the match”
How This Betting Market Works
Once the bet is placed:
- The frame currently being played usually counts (check bookmaker rules)
- All remaining frames are counted
- The player who wins more of those remaining frames wins the bet
If both players win the same number of remaining frames, most bookmakers:
- Settle the market as Void
- Or apply Draw = No Bet rules
Simple Example
Match Setup
- Player A vs Player B
- Best of 11 frames
- Current score: Player A 4 – 2 Player B
There are 5 frames left.
Bet Option
Which Player Wins the Rest of the Match?
You place a bet on Player B
Remaining Frames Result
- Player A wins 2 frames
- Player B wins 3 frames
Your bet wins, even if:
- Player A still wins the overall match 6–5
This is because Player B won more frames in the remaining part of the match.
Another Example (Losing Bet)
- Remaining frames: 4
- Player A wins 2
- Player B wins 2
Result:
- Market is usually Void
- Stake is refunded (depending on bookmaker rules)
