World Grand Prix Quarter Finals Double 🎯 @ 2.02

Ramis Ibrahim

All four of my World Grand Prix Doubles have won. +10.55 units in profit so far.

Nathan Aspinall put in the most impressive performance in the second round for me, beating Luke Woodhouse - who had knocked out Luke Littler in the opening round - 3-0 in sets and 9-3 in legs.

Aspinall hit 8+ 180s in that game, the most of any player in a single game so far. He’s really motivated as well, Aspinall has consistently reached the latter stages of major tournaments - and has actually had most of his major runs cut short by Luke Littler, so this is a real opportunity for the Asp.

Ryan Joyce is not an easy opponent, I’m a bit surprised he’s out at 3.40 to win here - I would have these two a lot closer, purely due to the fact that this format seems to suit Joyce with his devastating effectiveness on the outer ring. Joyce checked out at 67% against Van Gerwen and 69% against Danny Noppert.

This suggests that Aspinall’s game plan here simply has to be to outscore Joyce, there’s a clear gap between the two when it comes to scoring power with Aspinall hitting 11+ 180s across his two games to Joyce’s singular maximum.

Aspinall has played Joyce twice this year in European Tour events, employing the same tactics that I expect from him here in hitting 4+ 180s in both games - hitting 5+ maximums in the most recent clash. I can’t see Aspinall whitewashing Joyce, giving this game the length it’ll need for Aspinall to hit at least 4+ 180s.

Gian van Veen came through a nervy second round tie against Ryan Searle last time out - coming away a 3-2 winner in sets, holding his nerve in the deciding set after Searle had wasted a leg to wrap up the game.

Gian van Veen will know that he won’t get those same opportunities against James Wade here, who has looked really solid so far and I understand why he’s favourite against van Veen given how the two have performed in the tournament so far, but I can only see this tie going close.

The Dutchman has actually beaten Wade in both meetings between the pair this year, most recently beating Wade 16-13 in the quarter finals of the World Matchplay. Gian checked out at 55% in that game, which is where his strength lies - this format really suits him as there aren’t many better on the outer ring, particularly double 16.

Wade also notably lost to Gian van Veen in set play format earlier this year, with van Veen coming away a 4-2 winner in the World Masters. Gian said before his game against Searle last time out that he really enjoys the double start and set play format, making this the perfect competition for him. 

I’m not overly concerned about van Veen’s performances so far, he’s got the job done and does tend to grow into tournaments. This angle covers us if the game goes to a deciding set and van Veen just misses out, I can’t see either player dominating the other here but I would just about make Gian van Veen my pick.

Ramis Ibrahim

My World Grand Prix Day 1 Acca won @ 7.77

I wouldn’t put anyone off backing Joyce in this game, purely due to the price. He’s at 3.40 to win here, which I think is slightly unfair to his displays in the Grand Prix so far - dismissing Van Gerwen and Noppert across the first two rounds.

Aspinall was brilliant against Luke Woodhouse, but this clash against Joyce is a completely different challenge. Joyce is far more methodical in his action than Aspinall, which will naturally disrupt the Asp’s game at times as we saw in the last round with Danny Noppert.

Joyce has checked out at 67% and 69% in his opening games, also boasting a similar starting success. His scoring may let him down at times, but his efficiency on the outer ring can’t be ignored and we are basically backing Joyce to pick up a set here with Aspinall being a clear favourite according to the market, which is something I challenge.

Jonny Clayton produced one of the best performances I’ve seen on the World Grand Prix stage against Wessel Nijman last time out.

It’s not an average that will go down in the history books (93.08), but he hit 8+ 180s and notably took out 4+ 100+ checkouts - the highest being a 126 checkout. He also missed two further 100+ checkouts on the final dart, suggesting that he’s well placed to contribute another high checkout here.

Price is also really good when it comes to taking out high checkouts. He nailed 3+ 100+ checkouts in his win over Sebastien Bialecki in the opening round and looks the strongest of any player heading into these quarter final ties.

These two know each other very well, and will both be incredibly motivated to pick up a major having been without a big trophy for some time. It may come down to the big finishes here, as there really isn’t much between the top two players in Wales.

I can only see this game going all the way.

It’s the tightest tie of the night for me, and that’s reflected in the odds with Wade being a marginal favourite to progress to the semi finals (1.80-2.00). 

Gian van Veen has beaten Dirk van Duijvenbode and Ryan Searle across the opening rounds, and hasn’t even touched his best level but has still found a way to win the game.

I’ve noticed this trait with Gian van Veen more often over the last year or so, he definitely isn’t playing at the level he was when he reached the World Championship final - but he’s finding a way to beat players when he isn’t at his best, taking out multiple clutch finishes against Ryan Searle last time out.

Wade has been his usual efficient self in the opening rounds, dispatching Bunting and Cullen with relative ease - though he did drop a set in both of those games. Wade has shown moments of vulnerability in these games which I think van Veen can take advantage of more than Bunting and Cullen managed.

These two have faced off twice this year with Gian van Veen winning both games, interestingly knocking out James Wade at the quarter final stage of both the World Masters and the World Matchplay. The meeting at the Matchplay most recently ended 16-13.

Niels Zonneveld deserves real credit for reaching this stage of the World Grand Prix on debut, it’s such a difficult competition to find momentum in on your debut as even players like Littler and Van Veen have seen over recent years but Zonneveld looks really relaxed and dispatched an out of sorts Gary Anderson last time out. 

Unfortunately for Zonneveld, he now runs into the favourite to win the World Grand Prix in Luke Humphries who easily breezed past Jermaine Wattimena last time out without any real danger. There was a point in the game where Humphries’ starting success was a joke, entering through double 16 on almost every occasion - even hitting a 10 darter in the game.

Humphries and Price look like the best two players in the field right now. Zonneveld is going to struggle to repeat his heroics from the first two rounds against Rock and Anderson unless Humphries’ levels dramatically drop - which I can’t see happening with the focus and determination he’s playing with right now.

Darts Betting Tips & Predictions Today

This is the home of today's free darts betting tips and predictions from Andy Robson and the Andy's Bet Club team. You can browse our latest match picks, doubles, accumulators and 180s bets, with research explaining each selection and the odds available, across various bookmakers if they are offering the bet. 

Use the Today and Tomorrow filters to find available tips for the session you're following. Our coverage includes the World Darts Championship, Premier League Darts and other major PDC tournaments throughout the year.

Free Darts Predictions From Andy Robson and the Team

Andy Robson and our darts writers bring together form, stats and match analysis to explain the thinking behind each bet. Our picks cover a range of markets, from individual match winners to tournament outrights and 180s accumulators.

Our darts coverage also includes contributions from Glen Durrant, a three-time BDO world champion and winner of the 2020 Premier League. His analysis features in our tournament previews and selected match predictions.

How We Choose Our Darts Betting Tips

We weigh the research below against the available odds when choosing our selections.

Form and Opponent Quality

We look at recent form alongside the performances behind those results. The quality of a player's opponents gives those numbers relevant context.

Scoring and Finishing

Scoring averages, checkout percentages and 180s help show how a player is playing. A strong scoring average can put a player in position to win legs, but missed doubles can change the result. That is why we consider finishing as well as scoring when assessing a match.

Head-to-Head and Format

Head-to-head records and tournament history can also be useful, particularly when the format changes, such as a move from legs to sets or the double start at the World Grand Prix.

Outrights and the Draw

For outright predictions, we consider the draw and the opponents a player could face in later rounds.

Darts Accumulator Tips and Daily Doubles

Our darts accumulator tips combine selections from different matches into one bet. Depending on the fixtures, these can include match winners, 180s selections or total legs and sets.

A double contains two selections, a treble contains three and a four-fold contains four. For a standard win accumulator, every selection must win for the bet to pay out. One losing selection loses the bet. If a selection is void, bookmakers usually remove it and recalculate the bet. You should always check the t&c’s of your bookmaker.

The combined price depends on the odds of each selection. Adding more picks increases the potential return, but also means more results have to go your way. Read the reasoning for each selection before deciding whether to follow the complete bet.

Darts 180 Betting Tips

A 180 is the maximum score from three darts. Our darts 180 tips can focus on which player will hit the most, a player's individual total or the combined number in a match.

The most 180s market is separate from the match result. A player can hit more maximums than their opponent and still lose the match if their finishing lets them down.

Match length also matters. A longer contest creates more opportunities to hit 180s, so comparing a player's total from a long match with another player's total from a short one can be misleading. Their 180s per leg and the expected length of the next match provide more context. Check whether the selection applies to one player or both combined, and how the bookmaker settles a tie in the most 180s market.

Other Darts Betting Markets Explained

Most darts markets are settled in legs or sets. A leg is a single game played from 501 down to zero, finished on a double. Some events group legs into sets, usually first to three legs. Check which format the match uses. Available combinations and settlement rules vary between bookmakers, so check the details on your betslip.

Alongside 180s, our darts predictions can cover these markets:

  • Match winner: Back a player to win the match, regardless of the final score.

  • Outright winner: Back a player to win the whole tournament.

  • Handicap betting: Give a player a virtual head start or deficit in legs or sets. A player backed at -2.5 legs needs to win by at least three legs.

  • Total legs or sets: Bet on whether the match finishes above or below the bookmaker's specified total. Check whether the market is measured in legs or sets.

  • Correct score: Predict the exact final score in the format used for that match.

  • Highest checkout: A checkout is the score a player finishes a leg with, and the highest possible is 170. Back a player to record the highest checkout in the match, or bet on an over/under line where offered.

  • Specials: Markets can include a 170 checkout or a nine-dart finish, where a player completes a leg in nine darts.
