    Is there any legal way (apart from getting tickets!) of watching the World Snooker Shoot-out? I haven't got Sky

    Don't know if it is being streamed on the betting sites? but normally they are, deposit the minimum balance, probs £5 and watch it, you don't even need to place a bet, and could withdraw the money again after.

      You can watch the official stream on http://www.livesport.tv
      It does cost you money though. Not much.

        I subscribed last year to livesport.tv and it seemed because Eurosport or Sky had the rights to show the majority of tournaments in the UK, they were always blocked for me. I know a couple of the the PTC's and the qualifiers weren't but most were.

          What country are you in?

            Probably Not. You should be able to find a feed on one of these sites though, I usually can.

            As to their legality, well, ahem, I'm not really sure.

            The slow and labourious,
            All of us, glorious parts of the whole!

              Go to vipbox.net on the day. They'll have a stream. It's not illegal to watch a stream, only to broadcast it yourself.

                Silly question. What's this event like? It's one of those things that seems to have literally been on a weekend I have been busy and unable to watch almost every year since it started. I have seen bits and bobs on You Tube, but have never had the time/opportunity to sit down and watch the whole weekend.

                I remember getting back from a weekend away the first year it was televised, and people raving about it like it was the next big thing. However reception has somewhat cooled since then.

                As I no longer have Sky Sports, is this tournament worth me going out of my way to watch? Eg. Should I camp out the whole weekend round somebody's house who has Sky Sports just to watch it, or is it just gimmick filled nonsense?

                  Hard to say. There were more dramas the first year, not lest Rory McLeod beating Tony Drago with an almost surreal three-cushion pot on the black in the last seconds after Drago had been 55 up. And Robertson making 38 in 2 minutes and 30 seconds with the last black ending in the pocket after timeout. But there are also the quite boring matches where someone builds a lead of 20 - 30 and then runs down the clock. At times these matches can be a pain to watch.

                    I probably won't bother with it, if I'm honest. I'll stick to the German Masters next week.

                        ZHANG ANDA beat MARTIN GOULD
                        It was a good match but Martin didn't get a lot of chances.

                        CAO YUPENG beat MARK SELBY
                        Mark put the white in the pocket on the break off shot and it went downhill rapidly for him from then on.

                          That's one of the fastest tables I've ever seen. Not keen on the crowd but enjoying the matches so far.

                            Yes. I'm enjoying it too. That last one with Brecel and Woolaston was a cracker.
