The World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield is the sport's most prestigious event, held across 17 days in April and May. The unique atmosphere of the 980-seat theatre, combined with the best-of-35-frames final, makes it unlike any other ranking event. Ante-post markets open at the start of the season with Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump and Mark Selby among the perennial betting favourites. The long format rewards consistency and mental strength — qualities that separate Crucible specialists from one-session wonders.
