WE’VE seen shocks, outrageous debuts and questionable outfits already at the Darts World Championship – and it’s only a week old.
Despite all that, we’re yet no clearer on who will scoop the cool £500,000 prize that accompanies the Sid Waddell trophy.
The tournament got underway with the man in form, Luke Humphries as the favourite to lift the championship.
After playing one match, he’s already on the drift and it’s Michael van Gerwen who leads the betting.
But it’s 16-year-old Luke Littler who has stolen the headlines and his price has been slashed as a result.
Here’s the latest betting with World Darts Championship sponsors Paddy Power:
It’s one of the biggest sporting events of the year, so of course the bookmakers will be desperate for your custom.
There are already some good betting offers out there so make sure you scout around for the best deals.
Having said that, tournament sponsors Paddy Power have really stepped up for punters this year.
They have a Bet £10 Get £40** offer for brand new customers who sign up and stake a tenner on the action.
