© Provided by What Hi-Fi? Masters snooker live stream 2021: how to watch every shot for free

Snooker loopy sports fans are having the time of their lives watching 2021 Masters. Snooker's prestigious Triple Crown event has hosts some cracking matches this week, and tonight defending Masters champion Stuart Bingham will take on Shaun Murphy for a place in the semi final of this year's Masters. Make sure you know how to watch a Masters snooker live stream 2021 wherever you are in the world.

The Masters is a unique, non-ranking snooker tournament that started back in 1975. The format is simple: the 16 highest-ranked players in the world duke it out for the Paul Hunter trophy over the course of a thrilling week.

The tournament is usually played at London's Alexandra Palace but organisers have been forced to switch to the Milton Keynes Marshall Arena and play all matches behind closed doors.

The move hasn't gone down well with seven-time Masters champ O'Sullivan, who recently compared the Marshall Arena to 'prison' and claimed to have 'survived on cornflakes' during a previous visit.

Earlier this week, mercurial crowd favourite O'Sullivan staged a gutsy comeback to beat Ding Junhui 6-5 in a thrilling match packed with century breaks. Ding had the first bite of the cherry but The Rocket cleared up with a 73 break to clinch victory.

Last night, four-time world champion John Higgins snatched victory from Northern Ireland's Mark Allen in another nail-biting decider that saw epic safety battles and spectacular pressure pots galore. Higgins will now plays Ronnie O'Sullivan in Friday evening's semi final.

Watch a Masters snooker 2021 live stream abroad using a VPN

Even if you have access to the BBC, you won't be able to watch it online when outside your own country without a VPN. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as NordVPN.

What Live Snooker is Shown?

It wasn’t all that long ago that the entire pro snooker tour was made up of fewer than ten total ranking tournaments, almost all of which were based in England. In recent years, however, the sport has been radically modernised and expanded to now feature a huge number of events from all around the world.

A good number of those different events are served live streams offered by online bookmakers, and the following list provides examples of the kinds of tournaments which are typically streamed live somewhere.

Here what type of events are shown:

  • Riga Masters
  • China Championship
  • Paul Hunter Classic
  • Indian Open
  • World Open
  • European Masters
  • English Open
  • International Championship
  • Shanghai Masters
  • Champion of Champions
  • Northern Ireland Open
  • UK Championship
  • Scottish Open
  • Masters
  • German Masters
  • Snooker Shoot-Out
  • World Grand Prix
  • Welsh Open
  • Gibraltar Open
  • Players Championship
  • China Open
  • World Snooker Championship

As you can see from that list, therefore, the vast majority of the pro snooker tour’s main events are catered for by live streams available through one betting site or another. What should be noted, though, is that due to broadcasting rights, TV deals and other geographical restrictions, not all live streams are available to residents of every country around the world.

What In-Play Markets are Available?

If you do head to an online bookmaker to watch some live snooker action, you’ll probably also be interested in placing an in-play bet or two. Whilst there aren’t as many in-play betting options for snooker as for some other sports, there are often a decent number of markets on offer, which often include the following:

Match Winner – As is the case for matches and contests in every sport, the match winner market is the most commonly available in-play betting option for snooker. Beginning with the players at their pre-match odds, the available prices will change regularly and more generous odds can become available for fancied players if they fall behind earlier.

Handicap – Similar to the match winner market except that you are betting on a player to beat a pre-determined handicap spread, in-play handicap wagers are also popular with snooker punters. As an example, in a best of 11 frames contests, a strongly favoured player such as Ronnie O’Sullivan may be given a handicap of -3.5. That means he would have to win by four frames or more in order to beat the spread.

Total Frames – A straightforward over/under style of betting market, a total frames bet is one which predicts whether more or less than a certain number of frames will be played in a match. For our hypothetical best of eleven contests, for example, the over/under figure is likely to be set somewhere around 8.5.

Correct Score – The fourth and final in-play betting market which is typically available for most live streamed snooker matches is the correct score market. The market is pretty much as simple as its name suggests but can present some very interesting betting opportunities if a knowledgeable punter catches a bet at just the right time.
