World Snooker Championship 2025 Odds: Who Wins at the Crucible?

Judd Trump (+350)

Unsurprisingly, Trump has the leading odds for the World Snooker Championship 2025. He is currently ranked at the top of the world rankings, but is there any value on Trump at +350 odds?

Trump has reached the finals of three World Snooker Championships in his career. He finished as the runner-up in 2011 and 2022 but captured the 2019 title over O’Sullivan.

The 2024-25 season has been strong for Trump. The 35-year-old native of Bristol is the 2024 UK Championship winner and triumphed at the 2024 Shanghai Masters. He also became the record-holder for most prize money won in a single season!

"Don't tell everyone here…" 🤣

"I'd play all day if anyone wants a free set" 👀

Nevertheless, Trump has been held out of the winner’s circle since capturing the UK Championship on Dec. 1. In search of back-to-back Triple Crowns, Trump came up short in the 2025 Masters in the semifinals versus Kyren Wilson. Additionally, the same opponent edged out Trump in the 2025 Players Championship for the title in March.

In his latest tournament, Trump was in disappointing form and fell in the 2025 Tour Championship to Barry Hawkins in the quarterfinals. He has the obvious talent to win, but his consistency has been questionable this season.

Ronnie O’Sullivan (+500)

“The Rocket” is the largest question mark heading into the World Snooker Championship. The seven-time world champion hasn’t been in his best form this season and recently wasn’t feeling his best.

O’Sullivan was battling an illness at the Masters in January and was seen coughing during a match. This was three months after O’Sullivan pulled out of the Northern Ireland Open due to undisclosed medical reasons.

Health concerns are well-documented throughout O’Sullivan’s career, including his struggle with drug and alcohol addiction and bouts of depression. There is no evidence that the 49-year-old is suffering from any personal demons currently, though he is still undecided about playing at the Crucible.

If you forget about the potential health issues and just look at his form, O’Sullivan isn’t worth a bet at +500 odds! Following a wildly successful 2023-24 campaign, which included four tournament wins, including the UK Championship and Masters, O’Sullivan hasn’t had a tournament title in 2024-25.

O’Sullivan’s World Snooker Championship odds to win are the second shortest simply because of his status as one of the best snooker players of all time. However, there is no value on a player who isn’t mentally or physically prepared at the moment.

Kyren Wilson (+650)

It’s been a year to remember for the Englishman from Kettering! It was roughly a year ago that Wilson captured the World Snooker Championship title at the Crucible Theatre. That was the only win in 2023-24, but Wilson saved the best for last!

Since then, Wilson has won four tournaments this season. That includes a big score at the 2025 Tour Championship over Trump. The 33-year-old is a winner in four of his previous five matches, with a nosebleed the only thing slowing him down as of late.

Wilson’s match versus Ding Junhui was paused twice due to the bleeding nose. There were concerns that he had a more serious ailment, but he has since reported that he’s fine and his poor form was due to exhaustion. Wilson’s 10-5 loss was uncharacteristic for him, though I believe the nose-bleed distraction impacted it significantly.

Look for Wilson to respond positively to the mishap in the quarterfinals of the Tour Championship and put himself back in a position to win the world title. With O’Sullivan in questionable shape right now, Wilson should have the second-best odds to win the World Snooker Championship!
