Anthony McGill

Anthony McGill is Scotland’s leading professional on the World Snooker Tour and a consistent qualifier for the World Championship at the Crucible. McGill’s game is characterised by solid safety play and reliable break-building — qualities that suit the long-format demands of the Crucible. He carries significant Scottish support at major events and has demonstrated the ability to cause upsets against seeded players in the early rounds of major tournaments. For bettors, McGill is an interesting outsider at 80/1 and beyond in World Championship ante-post markets. His match betting prices in the opening rounds can represent value when he is drawn against higher-ranked opponents whose recent form has been inconsistent.
