The 2024 PDC World Darts Championship is the biggest tournament of the year for professional darts players, and we are excited to bring you the latest PDC World Darts Championship betting odds. This is what every darts player and fan has been looking forward to throughout the year, and the PDC World Championship odds have Michael van Gerwen as the favourite, priced at 4/1 with William Hill.

Will the Dutchman come out on top, or could we see a shock result this year? Continue below as we bring you the latest Darts World Championship odds, information about the PDC World Darts Championship schedule and make our World Championship Darts prediction.

1. Understanding the PDC World Darts Championship

The PDC World Darts Championship is the one tournament every player wants to win. There is no better feeling for a darts player than lifting the Sid Waddell Trophy. This will be the 31st PDC World Darts Championship, with the event having started in 1994 following the split between the World Darts Council and the BDO.

Phil Taylor holds the record for the most PDC World Championship wins at 14, with Michael van Gerwen coming a distant second with 3 wins to his name. Only 6 players in the history of the tournament have won it more than once.

The 2024 World Darts Championship will take place between the 15th of December 2023 and the 3rd of January 2024 at Alexandra Palace, London. The total prize pool for the tournament is £2.5 million, and 96 players will compete in the championship to win their share of the money.

The top 32 players in the PDC Order of Merit are seeded to enter the second round of the tournament, but the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts and the 2023 Players Championship Finals will have to be completed before the draw can be made for the first round. The defending champion is Michael Smith, who beat Michael van Gerwen 7–4 in the 2023 final.

The tournament is played using a knock-out format, meaning there are no second chances for a defeat. Each match is played using sets, and it takes 3 legs to win a set. The early rounds are the best of 5 sets, with the final the best of 13 sets. Now you know more about the competition, it is time to take a closer look at the PDC World Darts Championship betting odds and darts betting tips today.

2. PDC World Darts Championship 2024 Odds

The free darts betting predictions have Michael van Gerwen as the favourite to win, and the odds for Darts World Championship have him at 4/1 with William Hill. The Dutchman reached the final last year only to lose to Michael Smith, but Van Gerwen has played in three of the last five PDC World Darts Championship finals, so it is easy to see why he tops the list when it comes to Darts World Championship betting.

The defending champion is on offer at 13/2 in the World Darts Championship betting odds at Bet365, with Gerwyn Price favoured in the current World Darts Championship 2024 odds at 5/1 with Unibet. Luke Humphries is also strongly fancied by the bookmakers to mount a serious challenge for the Sid Waddell Trophy, and the Englishman can be backed at 7/1 with William Hill.

The PDC Darts betting odds for the World Championship will change as the tournament develops and may even change when the draw is made. We will come to that in more detail when making our PDC World Darts Championship 2024 prediction. In terms of the outsiders in the World Darts Championship 2024 betting, we have Peter Wright at 11/1, Gary Anderson at 16/1, Johnny Clayton at 33/1, Dimitri Van den Bergh at 40/1, James Wade at 66/1, and Raymond van Barneveld at 150/1.

3. PDC World Darts Championship - Tips and Prediction

When making a 2024 PDC World Darts Championship winner prediction, it is vital to consider the form of players as they enter the competition. There are two major tournaments to play before the World Championships, and you must use the results in the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts and the 2023 Players Championship Finals when betting on the 2024 World Darts Championship.

Michael van Gerwen, who is the favourite in the PDC World Darts Championship betting odds, has been making the latter stages of tournaments all year. He won the 2023 Premier League, US Darts Masters, Poland Darts Masters, and the World Series of Darts Finals. Only twice in the last 7 PDC World Darts Championship events has Van Gerwen failed to make at least the semi-final of the competition. If he looks in good shape in the Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals, even if he does not win those events, you can back Van Gerwen to do well at Alexandra Palace.

Gerwyn Price comes next in the World Darts final odds, but you must go back to the International Darts Open in February to find his last major win on the PDC Tour. The Welshman did reach the final of the Premier League but was comfortably beaten by Van Gerwen. Price knows what it takes to win the PDC World Darts Championship, having lifted the trophy in 2021, but form suggests we should be looking elsewhere when making a World Championship Darts prediction.

Having won the German Darts Grand Prix earlier in 2023, defending champion, Michael Smith, has been struggling to reach the final of big competitions. Smith lost in the last 16 of the World Matchplay and the last 32 of the UK Open, but did make the semi-final of the Premier League and World Grand Prix. Smith’s performances in the Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals will be a strong indicator of his form and confidence going into the World Championship. Peter Wright and Luke Humphries also merit serious consideration following their wins at the European Championship and World Grand Prix respectively.

In terms of underdogs, Dimitri Van den Bergh at 40/1 with Bet365 could be worth watching. The Belgian may not have progressed as he would have hoped following his World Matchplay title in 2020 and has been eliminated early in the major televised tournaments this year. However, Van den Bergh has the ability to beat anyone on his day and cannot be underestimated in the Darts World Championship betting, even at 40/1.

You could wait until the second round of the competition is complete and assess the performance of the players, but the PDC World Darts Championship betting odds will shorten for those who played well. As you must consider form and recent performances at the World Championship, our 2024 PDC World Darts Championship winner prediction is Michael van Gerwen. Meanwhile, you can also check our betting tips for Australian Open if you enjoy watching and betting on tennis.
