 The Best Tips for Betting on Pool Billiards

AdvertisementsThe Best Tips for Betting on Pool Billiards

When you think about gambling online and betting on sports, it's unlikely that you immediately think of pool billiards. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a bet on billiards. It's an exciting and fast-paced sport, and you can enjoy it by live-streaming it from a reputable new bookmaker online like the UK ones at Find Betting Sites. Pool is a funny old game and has many variants and different rules. Moreover, the fact that it can be played in a pub means that many amateur players fancy themselves as decent players!

However, it would help if you viewed pool more like snooker and appreciate the significant difficulty of getting your angles right and winning a frame. Playing pool with your mates in the pub is excellent fun, but so is betting on some of the big pool championships that are competed in different parts of the world (mainly in the US and Qatar). Here are some top tips to consider when placing your bets if you're new to betting on pool billiards.



Choose a reputable bookmaker 

This isn't specific to pool and should be at the top of your priority list when placing a bet online. To make sure your money is safe and secure, you should choose a reputable bookmaker with which to place your bet. It's widely accepted that William Hill is the best bookmaker to place bets with in the pool billiards market. This is because they have the most advanced markets before the major pool tournaments and the most in-depth in-play markets when the competition is underway.

Know which type of pool you're betting on

There are many different types of pool, so you need to make sure you know what kind of game you're betting on. The most common market available to UK gamblers is nine-ball billiards. If you're new to gambling on pool, you should perhaps keep your bet simple until you become familiar with the complex rules. A straightforward bet on which player will win an individual match is an excellent place to begin until you become more confident within the market.

Ouschan Wins Inaugural Predator Championship League Pool

WINNERS’ GROUP FINAL
Albin Ouschan 5–1
David Alcaide

SEMI-FINALS
Eklent Kaci 2-5 Albin Ouschan
Chris Melling 2-5 David Alcaide

Albin Ouschan became the inaugural Predator Championship League Pool winner when he defeated David Alcaide 5-1 in the tournament final at Stadium MK, Milton Keynes.

The final was Ouschan’s 52nd match of the tournament. The Austrian began the event in Group 1 last Monday and a rollercoaster week saw him lose in two finals and two semi-finals before he eventually won Group 6 on Saturday. Even in Winners’ Group, he had to win the final three racks of his last match against Niels Feijen to reach the play-offs.


After defeating Mosconi Cup team-mate Eklent Kaci 5-2 in the semi-finals, Ouschan ran the first rack of the final and doubled his lead over Alcaide in the next. That meant he was breaking for a 3-0 advantage in the race-to-5 and a good break meant he only had five balls to pot to extend his lead.

Alcaide pulled one back but Ouschan used his break in the fifth to reach the hill. World Pool Masters champions Alcaide then broke dry and Ouschan didn’t need a second invite to clear the table and land his first Matchroom singles title.

“I am speechless,” said Ouschan, who accumulated prize money of $16,200 during the event. “When I think about my performance over the whole week there were many, many ups and downs, everything was there.

Bijsterbosch Completes Predator Championship League Pool Winners’ Group

GROUP 7 FINAL

Marc Bijsterbosch 5-3
Mieszko Fortunski

SEMI-FINALS
Denis Grabe 3-5 Marc Bijsterbosch
Alex Kazakis 0-5 Mieszko Fortunski

Marc Bijsterbosch snapped off the final spot in Predator Championship League Pool Winners’ Group by beating Mieszko Fortunski 5-3 in the Group 7 final at Stadium MK, Milton Keynes.

Bijsterbosch will join Chris Melling, Eklent Kaci, David Alcaide, Niels Feijen, Naoyuki Oi and Albin Ouschan in Winners’ Group which begins at 12 noon (UK time) on Monday, battling it out to be crowned inaugural Predator Championship League Pool champion.

Fortunski, having whitewashed Alex Kazakis 5-0 in his semi-final, took the first rack of the final, which went according to break until the fifth. At that point Bijsterbosch, a 5-3 semi-final winner against Denis Grabe, came out on top in a safety battle to lead 3-2. Breaking in the sixth, Bijsterbosch ran out to reach the hill.

Poland’s Fortunski, who began in this event in Group 2, ran out the next rack to halve his deficit. But Bijsterbosch broke powerfully and left himself with a roadmap to victory in the eighth. With three balls down off the break the Dutchman was six shots from Winners’ Group but he under hit position to the 4. However, he recovered well and completed the rack for a place in tomorrow’s tournament finale.

“It feels amazing to win the final group,” said Bijsterbosch. “I started the group with two wins but I lost my third match 5-4 and everyone had won two games, so I felt some pressure.

Relieved Ouschan Joins Predator CLP Winners’ Group At Sixth Attempt

GROUP 6 FINAL

Alexander Kazakis 0-5 Albin Ouschan

SEMI-FINALS
Alexander Kazakis 5-1
Marc Bijsterbosch
Albin Ouschan 5-2 Billy Thorpe

A mightily relieved Albin Ouschan finally made it through to Predator Championship League Pool Winners’ Group at the sixth attempt when he beat Alexander Kazakis 5-0 in the Group 6 final on Saturday evening, avoiding having to play his sister Jasmin in Group 6 in the process.

The Austrian former World Champion started the tournament in the very first group and had played two finals and two further semi-finals before this group. During the round-robin league phase he won four of his six matches, before defeating Billy Thorpe 5-2 in his semi-final.

In the final he met Kazakis in what was Ouschan’s 44th match of the tournament, and unlike previous finals this one was almost routine for the three-time Mosconi Cup winner, who ran out 5-0 winner to advance to Monday’s showpiece finale where he will meet Chris Melling, David Alcaide, Eklent Kaci, Niels Feijen, Naoyuki Oi and the winner of tomorrow’s Group 7.

“It is an incredible feeling,” said Ouschan. “I was exhausted but I tried my best and played pretty solid. It has been the most horrible feeling of my whole career. Everyone saw that I went through everything. The first day was good, the second day was horrible. Then I kept getting better and better but it was never enough. I lost to Oi, I lost to Niels, I played so many matches, but now I am super, super happy.

Oi Wins Dramatic Final To Advance To Predator Clp Winners’ Group

GROUP 5 FINAL
Naoyuki Oi 5–4
Roberto Gomez

SEMI-FINALS
Albin Ouschan 4-5 Naoyuki Oi
Roberto Gomez 5-4 Billy Thorpe

Naoyuki Oi took advantage of a missed 9-ball by Roberto Gomez in the Group 5 final to land his place in Winners’ Group of Predator Championship League Pool.

The Filipino went 4-2 up in the race-to-5 final, but Oi levelled when Gomez missed a match-ball 9 at 4-3 up. A golden break had given Oi the perfect start but from 2-2 Gomez pulled ahead to reach the hill two racks ahead. The Japanese world No. 24 wasn’t finished yet though, and halved the deficit to trail 4-3.

The Filipino had the break in rack eight, and though Oi came to the table and had a golden chance, Gomez was left with three balls for victory. However, he had to play the 9 along the rail and couldn’t send it to the top corner pocket. Oi levelled down table, and the final was tied on the hill.

Oi had the break in the decider and the layout presented him a roadmap to Winners’ Group, which was navigated without any problem for the charismatic 39-year-old, who will join Chris Melling, Eklent Kaci, David Alcaide and Niels Feijen in Monday’s showpiece tournament conclusion.

“Today I had five hill-hill matches, four wins and one I lost,” said Oi. “In the group game with Gomez it was hill-hill and I lost. In the final, hill-hill when Gomez missed the 9-ball and I won.

First Teams Confirmed For World Cup Of Pool

Defending Champions Austria are among the first teams to be confirmed for the 2021 World Cup of Pool, which will be played from May 9-14 in Milton Keynes, England, live on Sky Sports.

The Austrian duo and of Albin Ouschan and Mario He will be looking to lift their third World Cup title. They defeated Philippines 11-3 in the 2019 final, the third successive time they had reached title match. They had previous won the event in 2017 when they beat USA in the final, and in 2018 fell just short of defending their crown when they were overcome by China in Shanghai.

Having waited almost two years for the chance to defend their title, Austria’s Ouschan is excited to reunite with his playing partner.

“The wait is over,” said Ouschan, who is currently playing in Predator Championship League Pool. “I will see Mario to get some practice at the end of April, it will be the first time since March last year that I have been able to see him.

“It is awesome to play with Mario. There is no big secret but we are friends and we know each other’s game. In the last three years I don’t think there has even been one match where we have both played a really good set, it has always been that one was playing better than the other and saved us. In 2017 it was probably me who saved us, in the second year when we lost to China we both played well, but last time it was definitely Mario and he was the MVP of the tournament.”

Feijen Finally Through At Predator Championship League Pool

GROUP 4 FINAL

Albin Ouschan 0–5 Niels Feijen

SEMI-FINALS
Albin Ouschan 5-1
Mieszko Fortunski
Niels Feijen 5-1 Naoyuki Oi

Niels Feijen progressed to Winners’ Group of Predator Championship League Pool, winning the Group 4 final 5-0 against Albin Ouschan at Stadium MK, Milton Keynes.

Feijen had reached the Group 3 final yesterday after two previous semi-final appearances and referred to progression as trying to ‘beat the boss’ in a video game, with defeat meaning you have to start over the next day.

The Dutchman, a two-time World Pool Masters champion and four-time Mosconi Cup MVP, beat Mieszko Fortunski 5-1 in his group semi-final before compiling the misery for a frustrated Ouschan, who has also been competing since the first group on Monday.

“That was great,” said Feijen. “You come all the way, starting at noon, get all the way to the final and you want to finish it off. It is races to five so you could get to five semi-finals in a row and you need a little bit of luck.
