Unfortunately, Kyren Wilson's journey at the 2025 World Snooker Championship has ended. The defending champion was defeated 10–9 in the first round by Chinese debutant Lei Peifan, becoming the 20th first-time winner to fall victim to the infamous "Crucible curse".
Below are the odds that were available while Wilson was still in contention for the World Championship title.
Kyren Wilson heads into the 2025 Snooker World Championship as the defending champion and the current world number two.
The Warrior has won both the 2024 World Championship and the 2025 German Masters in the past 12 months and was the runner-up in The Masters. In the latter half of March, Kyren Wilson won the Players Championship, defeating Judd Trump in the final. This bodes well for him ahead of the World Championship.
The odds for Kyren Wilson to win the World Championship are currently 7/1.
Kyren Wilson's odds offer punters multiple ways to make a profit by predicting his performance at the World Championship. You can bet on him as the champion or take advantage of player prop wagers that bookies open during the tournament.
Wilson, the reigning world champion, faced Lei Peifan in the World Open and secured a convincing 5–1 victory. He impressed further by producing two century breaks. Wilson's strong form and their previous encounter point towards a clear win.
As last year's world champion, Kyren Wilson is currently one of the favourites for the World Championship. A brilliant final victory over Barry Hawkins at the German Masters has boosted his status but the championship odds are still quite high.
