Nothing says Christmas like laying on the sofa, beer in hand and watching the darts. Yes, that’s right the PDC World Darts Championship is back and it promises to be, as the late great Sid Waddell would say, “a little cracker”!

In the simplest terms, a game of darts involves two players trying to get to a score of zero after starting on 501. Players take it in turns to throw three darts at a board placed 5ft 8” off the floor and 7ft 9.25” away from where the darts are thrown - after each turn, the score from the three darts is calculated and deducted from the remaining total.

A player can score between 1 and 60 with a single dart - giving a maximum total of 180 with each visit to the dartboard. The numbers 1 to 20 are available on the board, with an outer circle that doubles the score, an inner circle that trebles the score, a bullseye worth 50 points and an outer bullseye worth 25 points.

The first player to get to zero by “checking out” - hitting a double on the outer circle - wins the “leg”, with each set being the best of five legs and each match the best of 5, 7, 9, 11 or 13 sets as the tournament progresses.

The rules of darts are universal, but there are two main governing bodies in the sport. Until 1993, all darts players were part of the BDO - British Darts Organisation. Since then, the PDC - Professional Darts Corporation - has operated as its own separate franchise and players can choose to play in either BDO or PDC competitions.

PDC World Championship betting odds

Like any sport, there are numerous factors to consider in darts betting. While a player’s ranking is important, it is one of many statistics that can be analysed when trying to find value in the PDC World Championship betting odds.

Michael van Gerwen

Ranked number one in the world, van Gerwen has been in remarkable form of late. In amongst his 24 PDC titles, the Dutchman has won 90.95% of his 221 matches this calendar year. A 102.90 three-dart average and 45.88% checkout attempt completion are two of the main reasons for his short price to win the PDC World Championship.

Gary Anderson

2019

Winner of both the 2015 and 2016 PDC World Championship, Scotland’s Gary Anderson can certainly perform on the big stage. His average of 97.93 has been boosted by 253 180’s this year, but one major contributor to Anderson’s outright winner odds is the fact that he’s a proven champion. Can he do it again?

Betting

Phil Taylor

Phil “The Power” Taylor is perhaps the most famous face in darts. A regular feature in the PDC World Championship betting odds, he has an incredible 14 titles to his name. Although he isn’t the dominant force he once was, Taylor’s previous experience, a 101.10 average and 77.39 win % in 2016 is reflected in his odds.

The best of the rest

Darts betting is no different to betting on any other sport. Although van Gerwen is a heavy favourite, the competition format means there could be a surprise in store. Now in round two, there is just over 30 players left in this year’s tournament, so who is likely to outperform what their odds suggest?

In amongst his 24 PDC titles, Michael van Gerwen has won 90.95% of his 221 matches this calendar year.

The eccentric Peter Wright is sometimes more about personality than performance. 'Snakebite' might represent value, but there is always a danger that the entertainer might show up instead of the darts player - something that is backed up by his poor 68.79 win % in 2016.

Dave Chisnall’s outright winner odds might come as a surprise to some. A respectable average of 97.40 and improving 39.26% checkout attempt completion make “Chizzy” a dark horse. If he gets the luck of the draw and takes advantage when the bigger players make a mistake, there could be a major shock on the cards.

The PDC World Championship is not only an entertaining spectacle for the fans in their fancy dress, it offers a great chance for those with knowledge of darts betting to make profit.

The Big Names

Pdc World Darts Betting Tips

Michael van Gerwen $3.40
The Dutchmen has been the top seed in each of the last six editions of the tournament and heads the market yet again, he’ll be right there again this time around in his 14th attempt at lifting the title. He has won it on three separate occasions, two of which have been as world number one, but we would be slightly more reserved in getting too bullish about his chances this year.

Pdc World Championship 2019 Betting Tips

Of course, he is the best player on the circuit, but he’s been susceptible to the odd defeat in 2020, losing out on the Premier League for the first time in five years, as he finished in the bottom half of the table, while Simon Whitlock knocked him out in the quarters of Grand Slam of Darts last month.

However, like most champions, he’s bounced back to win the most recent Players Championship Finals, and he’ll no doubt be amongst it come the second week in what looks a favourable draw for the Dutchmen.

Betting

Gerwyn Price $7.40
Won his third career major at the World Grand Prix, while he also lifted the World Cup of Darts and World Series of Darts Finals this year to truly cement his place in the top three of the world rankings.

No player has lifted more titles in 2020 than the Welshmen, and having reached the semis here 12 months ago before losing out to the eventual winner Peter Wright; he’ll look to go even better this time.

Peter Wright $7.80
The defending champion looked set for an unstoppable year off the back of his title here last year, going on to win the Darts Masters title at the start of February. However, he has been fairly poor since, with the European championship title the only title of any note.

That did come at the beginning of last month though, so he might be hitting some form at the right time, but having fallen short in 10 of his 14 major finals, it’s no surprise to see him behind the two aforementioned players in the market.
