World Cup of Darts Odds
The World Cup of Darts is a truly remarkable format! As part of a small restructuring in 2010, the World Cup of Darts was announced and added to the PDC calendar. However, this event is hosted in a different location most years and it's current location in Frankfurt in Germany but this is subject to change for 2024.
The competition was brought in to succeed the Jocky Wilson Cup which saw England take on Scotland, the concept was so unique that the concept of the World Cup was brought to the the PDC who have seen the format and game play of the sport improve since.
Last time out in 2023, Wales won their second World Cup as Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton dominated a best of 19 legs.
World Cup of Darts Format
The World Cup of Darts is unique as it is now played entirely as double matches, as the action has been taken to remove the format of three matches, two singles and one doubles game. Now the format is more aligned with that of the other main PDC tournaments but plays in a 2 vs 2 format. World Cup of Darts odds have to take into consideration both players rather that just one. So, for example, in the first year of the competition, Netherlands should have been higher in the betting odds than they were but many worried that Co Stompe would struggle to meet the high standards of Raymond Van Barneveld, Stompe put in some good performances as Netherlands went on to beat Wales in the final.
