Luke Humphries v James Wade Expert Tips & Predictions
Luke Humphries and James Wade’s day one defeats at the Grand Slam of Darts have upset the apple cart in Group A. Defending champion Humphries suffered a shock 5-3 defeat to Rowby-John Rodriguez, while Wade also lost by the same scoreline to Mickey Mansell. Thus, a second successive defeat would be a massive setback both arrowsmiths can ill-afford at this stage of the group phase.

Luke Humphries v James Wade Best Bet
🎯 Luke Humphries Most 180s
📈 Odds: 1.57
Humphries is heavily favoured at 1.40 but a race to five with such a steady operator like Wade is fraught with danger. However, a more appetising play can be found elsewhere by siding with Humphries to hit the most 180s at 1.57. ‘Cool Hand Luke’ won the maximum battle 3-2 when losing to Rodriguez on night one. That trio of 180s took the world number one’s overall maximum return for the year to 639, a tally bettered only by Wessel Nijman (678) and Luke Littler (711).
While Wade has been hitting more 180s than we’ve become accustomed to in recent times, he is a considerable way behind Humphries for maximums scored in 2024. ‘The Machine’ has posted an overall return of 260 this year, placing him 46th across the PDC.
Not only did Humphries come out on top on the 180 count when crashing to defeat against Rodriguez on Saturday night, but he also managed to ‘outmax’ his opponents in six of his seven victories en route to the Grand Slam title last year. That seven-game sample included two of Humphries’ three group stage successes. If the world number one is to overcome Wade, he will more than likely have to land the lion’s share of 180s. Thus, siding with Humphries to hit the most maximums makes perfect sense at the price on offer.
