World Darts Championship Betting Tips & Preview

Written: December 13th 2019

World Darts Championships 2020 Preview

Michael Van Gerwen looks to defend his title at the 2020 World Darts Championships. However, in the history of the competition, only three men have ever successfully defended the crown. The Dutchman will look to join Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson previous back-to-back champions and our betting odds indicate he has a fantastic chance of doing exactly that.

The question is: who is in a position to stop him? Gerwyn Price picked up his first win against Van Gerwen at the 20th attempt in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam of Darts. However, MVG has steamrolled his way through the Champions League and Grand Prix of Darts since his last major defeat which was against Glen Durrant at the World Matchplay in July. ‘Mighty Mike’ might just be unstoppable this time around.

So if you’re looking to place a bet on the 2020 World Championships, be sure to check out our Darts Betting Tips beforehand to get all our top tips before the big event.

The Favourites

TIP: Michael Van Gerwen - 6/5

Across all competitions in 2019, MVG has a total of 14 trophy wins which more than double any other player. However, the reason “Mighty Mike” is such fantastic value at 6/5 is not just the fact he is the best player in the world at the moment, it’s that he’s been quite fortunate to avoid the majority of title contenders in his quarter. Barring James Wade, it’s difficult to see anyone who could knock the holder out of the tournament at an early stage but MVG is 3-0 in knockout competition against Wade in 2019. If you’re not entirely confident on the favourite winning the entire competition, you can bet on him to win the 1st Quarter at 2/5.

TIP: Gerwyn Price - 9/2

A lot of people think that this tournament will come down to Gerwen Vs Gerwyn and if you are one of those people, we recommend checking out the price of Gerwyn Price to win Q4 at evens. Price has some tough competition in Glen Durrant, Daryl Gurney and Mensur Sulijovic but with the Welshman hitting form at the right time and the confidence of beating MVG for the first time in 20 attempts in the semi-final of the Grand Slam. Price could be fantastic value here at 9/2.

Our Top Outsiders

TIP: Daryl Gurney - 40/1

Some might say that Daryl Gurney has the toughest route to the final of anyone as he could face Durrant, Sulijovic and Price before even reaching the semi-finals. However, there is usually at least one person who defies the odds and overperforms at the big events. Gurney has underperformed in the last two years at this event and we think having a tough draw could spur him on to perhaps not win the entire thing but certainly cause one or two shocks. His price to win the 4th quarter is 7/1.

TIP: Nathan Aspinall - 40/1

Quarter Two looks like it is packed with darting talent and you could argue that any of the eight seeded players could make it to the semi-finals and with the likes of Brendan Dolan and Luke Woodhouse in the first round, we wouldn’t count out any shocking results either. That being said, this has made odds to win quite high for anyone in Q2. If everything goes how we expect. Aspinall will face Gary Anderson in the Fourth round, Anderson hasn’t made the Semi-Finals of any tournament this year and we can’t see that starting now.
