World Grand Prix Day 2 Accumulator 🎯 @ 6.36

Ramis Ibrahim

Should be straightforward starts for Wade and Humphries

James Wade is still operating at a really high level, which is so impressive for a player that won this competition in 2007 and 2010.

He’s really improved his scoring power over the last few years, which has allowed him to keep pace with the likes of Humphries and Littler while still maintaining a devastating accuracy on the outer ring.

Wade is so effective because of his timing, he’ll often be sitting on a 70-120 finish with his opponent about to take the leg and still find a way to check out. It’s what he’s made his career on, and I can see him continuing his strong run of form here.

Wade has won a European Tour, a Players Championship event and a World Series event this year - so he’s still getting to the latter stages of tournaments even if he has had to wait a few years for a major success.

Cullen has struggled this year, and comes into this having lost his last three games. He did get to the semi final of this event back in 2023, but it’s not really suited to his style and he also lost to Wade in the only meeting between the pair this year. 

Gian van Veen is rightly the favourite here (1.53), but I wouldn’t write off Dirk van Duijvenbode here who has improved steadily over the last few years following a pretty nasty shoulder injury.

Dirk pushed van Veen when the pair met in the World Series Finals a few weeks back, he lost 10-8 but still put in a really good account of himself against a player in van Veen who hasn’t quite looked the same since reaching the final of the World Championship last year.

Gian van Veen has never been past the first stage of the World Grand Prix, losing to Luke Littler in the first round last year having lost 2-0 to Ross Smith in his debut campaign. Dirk has reached the final of the World Grand Prix before, back in 2020, and should be able to take at least one set off van Veen given his improving recent form.

This could be the most straightforward game of the first round in the World Grand Prix with Luke Humphries heavily expected to see off a stuttering Dave Chisnall, who has not been at his best for a few years now.

Humphries won the World Grand Prix in 2023, and has had quite a few runs to the latter stages of the tournament - reaching the final last year, losing to Luke Littler in the final (shock). He’s such a talented player, but he does need some luck to fall his way in the major competitions.

Humphries is consistently reaching the quarter finals and semi finals of major events, but seems to struggle from that point. He didn’t have this block in the year he dominated darts, so it’s probably a psychological factor rather than a drop off in ability.

Chisnall has lost each of the last four head to head meetings between these two, losing 10-4 when they faced off in the UK Open with Humphries recording an average of 103.65 to Chisnall’s 86.41. 

Andrew Gilding is not a man you want to face in the early stages of a major tournament, he often gets the support of the crowd and is a very capable player - especially in a format which could trip up many favourites.

Bunting went out in the first round of the World Series Finals to Josh Rock last time out and has struggled more widely over the last few months, winning just one of his last five matches across various Euro Tour and floor events.

Gilding reached the quarter final of this event back in 2023, and will be an awkward assignment for Bunting here - who has not been past the last 16 in each of the last two years in the World Grand Prix, bowing out in the opening round in 2024.

I think this ends up being a very tense match between two players who don’t have fantastic runs of form heading into this game. It could go either way, I don’t have Bunting as much of a favourite as the market does.

World Grand Prix Day 2 Double 🎯 @ 2.05

Heta has lost in the first round in each of the last five WGP tournaments

James Wade is still operating at a really high level, which is so impressive for a player that won this competition in 2007 and 2010.

He’s really improved his scoring power over the last few years, which has allowed him to keep pace with the likes of Humphries and Littler while still maintaining a devastating accuracy on the outer ring.

Cullen has struggled this year, and comes into this having lost his last three games. He did get to the semi final of this event back in 2023, but it’s not really suited to his style and he also lost to Wade in the only meeting between the pair this year. 

It’s fair to say that Damon Heta doesn’t really like this tournament, he’s gone out in the first round of the World Grand Prix in each of the last five years and has a very testing first game here against Gary Anderson.

Anderson has still got real levels, having reached the final of a recent European Tour and getting through the first few rounds of the World Matchplay earlier this year. He won this competition back in 2016, and should have a real advantage against Heta who is almost allergic to this stage.

Anderson beat Heta in the most recent clash between the two back in 2025, and should generally have more confidence heading into this one than Heta who is likely to have to wait another year for a win on this stage.

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.
