World Series Of Darts Betting Tips & Prediction
A field of 32 top-level arrowsmiths head to AFAS Live in Amsterdam for the World Series of Darts Finals, which takes place from 13 to 15 September.
Luke Humphries and Luke Littler dominate the outright betting, but there is no shortage of title contenders and there could be some each-way value to be had further down the list.
Tip One: Dave Chisnall to win World Series of Darts Finals @ 25/1
Dave Chisnall arrives in Amsterdam in fine form having won a European Tour event last weekend. Chizzy claimed the Flanders Darts Trophy with an 8-6 success over Ricardo Pietreczko and it was a tournament which saw the St Helens man produce several high-class performances.
Chsinall beat Chris Dobey, Peter Wright, Gabriel Clemens and James Wade on his way to the final showdown with Pietreczko and the 43-year-old averaged over a ton in all but one of those victories.
The Flanders success marked Chizzy's second victory on the European Tour this season and the St Helens arrowsmith is a two-time World Series Finals semi-finalist.
Littler, Humphries and Michael van Gerwen are all housed in the top-half of the draw, and with Wright, Jeff Smith and Rhys Griffin as Chisnall’s mini-section rivals, Chizzy has to be an each-way bet from the opposite half of the draw.
Tip Two: Wessel Nijman to win World Series of Darts Finals @ 33/1
Wessel Nijman looks another each-way play to consider from the bottom half of the draw. The Dutchman is due to face Nathan Aspinall in round one, and while a clash with the Asp would have rated a tough tie, the Stockport man has been struggling with injury and he hasn’t played a competitive match since losing to James Wade in July’s World Matchplay.
It’s Michael Smith or Jose de Sousa in round two should the 24-year-old come through against the Asp, and Nijman has the game to beat any of the sport’s top performers.
The Uitgeest arrowsmith produced some incredible darts when reaching the final of the Players Championship 15 event at the end of July and that was a glowing beacon of the level of Nijman’s ability.
It’s quite possible that we haven’t even seen the best of what the 24-year-old can produce at this early stage of his career and if Nijman, who admittedly lacks experience on the big stage, can bring his A-game in Amsterdam he looks a serious title contender.
Nijman is averaging 95.61 on the Pro Tour this season, which puts the Dutchman inside the world’s top 13 performers and a reproduction of that level of form would make Nijman difficult to stop from the kinder half of the draw.
Daryl Gurney is another player to consider from the bottom half, and Cameron Menzies, who is playing the best darts of his career, could shock Gerwyn Price in round one.
However, at the prices Nijman and Chisnall rate the best Amsterdam bets.
