The PDC — Professional Darts Corporation — is the UK’s most reputable and renowned tournament organiser. Founded in 1992, the organisation has enjoyed increasing success in its ventures – bringing forth the World Championship, Grand Slam of Darts, Players Championships, and other popular competitions.
Remaining up to date with the latest goings-on in the world of PDC darts is a steep ask for even the most avid of fans. That’s why we have assembled a team of experts to break down every match, culminating in top-rated tips at your fingertips. View some of the factors that play a role in dictating our PDC darts betting picks, below.
Player Performance
Certain players are backed by the masses based on name recognition alone. We look to cut through the fluff by analysing who’s really performing at a high level – with no bias towards popular individuals or previously successful players from yesteryear.
Recent Trends
Darts is a confidence game – arguably more so than other sports. Players on a downward trajectory are more likely to continue their barren run, whereas those enjoying a purple patch should not be bet against…as a certain Luke Littler demonstrated when the then-16-year-old burst onto the scene in the 2024 PDC World Championship. Comeback victories and slip-ups are also considered.
Rivalries
The head-to-head nature of darts makes it relatively easy for the world’s best players to form rivalries. Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright represent a recent example of the sport’s potential for bitterness – with the former coming out on top in most meetings following their infamous Darts Premier League battle in 2015. When two players have a mutual and public disliking for one another, it’s worth remembering that anything can happen.
Historical Insights
Some players shine under the limelight of Alexandra Palace, while others fade in the intense heat of battle. We take note of players who regularly stand tall in the face of major pressure at the same tournament(s) — no matter the event — as the most strong-minded tend to rise to the top. By the same token, our experts hunt for newcomers who can’t hack it at the top level for easy pickings.
