2015 PDC World Darts Championship PT 1

The latest odds for the upcoming PDC World Darts Championship are finally out and it’s probably not going to be a massive surprise to many darts observers that Michael Van Gerwen is currently looming large as the outright favourite to secure the title once again and retain his position as the current king of the darts world. Bookmakers are expecting to do brisk business here and there will be a few having a go at Van Gerwen who is a great player but is certainly not entirely unbeatable. 

Right now, you’ll find the Dutchman trading at a best price of around 5/4 with several bookmakers but the vast majority going either 11/10 or all the way down to an even money listing. 

It always used to be Phil “The Power” Taylor who was considered the short-priced favourite to win this exact tournament but it’s now pretty obvious that the bulk of the bookmakers think he’s a decent shout to potentially make the final match but that he has little chance of pulling off the actual victory. 

Right now, you’ll find Phil Taylor trading at a price of around 9/2 with some bookmakers going as high as a 5/1 price but others floating him lower than that down to around a 4/1 listing. 

The closest competition appears to be Gary Anderson who can be backed as low as a 6/1 price tag with several bookmakers but you’ll also be able to spot him in a few other places at a 7/1 margin. Expect his price to drop if he picks up some steam in the latter stages of the tournament.
