Bets Of The Week

The Christmas decorations may be being taken down, but there is still plenty of action for online betting punters to get their teeth stuck into with the darts from Ally Pally taking centre stage. Aside from that, there is a full coupon of FA Cup third round matches to look forward to and the PGA Tour returns.

Please remember that unlike fixed odds betting, when spread betting losses can exceed deposits.

DARTS – PDC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Many travelled to London with hopes of lifting the Sid Waddell Trophy, but darts betting punters now only have four options left as we head into the final two days of the PDC World Championship.

A sensational shock from Scott ‘Shaggy’ Williams saw Michael Van Gerwen – the favourite in our darts World Championship odds – knocked out last night to blow the draw wide open. Luke Humphries, winner of three of the last four major ranking events, is now the even money favourite after he cruised through Dave Chisnall last night. The Newbury native is 1/7 to get past Williams in the second semi-final this evening.

The first clash of the evening looks a lot more tantalising from a darts betting perspective as former world champion Rob Cross is 13/10 to overcome Luke Littler having secured a sensational comeback victory over Dave Chisnall. We have all of our usual fixed odds markets as well as a wide range of darts spread betting markets for the remaining matches.

FOOTBALL – FA CUP MATCHES

One of the most eagerly anticipated days in the football betting calendar comes around this weekend as the minefield that is the FA Cup third round takes place. The pick of the round sees Newcastle travel to partner club Sunderland with the Magpies 3/4 to beat the Mackems on Saturday lunchtime.

Eastleigh, Aldershot, Maidstone, and Chesterfield are the four non-league sides to make it through to this round and a fourfold on all sides winning would pay a whopping 1346/1 with our acca boost promotion. At the other end of the footballing pyramid, Arsenal are even money to get the better of fellow title challengers Liverpool in the pick of Sunday’s action.

Our FA Cup outright odds have Manchester City as 5/2 favourites with Arsenal at 6/1 and Liverpool the only other side at a single figure price with the Reds available to back at 9/1.

GOLF – THE SENTRY

After a Christmas interlude, the PGA Tour is back for its traditional annual curtain raiser in Hawaii and with Jon Rahm’s defection to the LIV Tour, there is no defending champion for golf betting punters to hang their hat on.

Instead, the ever-dependable Scottie Scheffler is the 5/1 favourite with Viktor Hovland 8/1 and both Patrick Cantlay and Colin Morikawa 10/1 to land glory in the Pacific.

The best of the British hopes lie with Matt Fitzpatrick at 18/1 whilst fellow Ryder Cup starts Tyrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood are both 28/1. We will also be paying five places at 1/4 the odds if you fancy an each way punt, with all the action live on Sky Sports this weekend.

SNOOKER – THE MASTERS

As the darts vacates the Alexandra Palace, snooker steps in with The Masters taking place over eight days starting on Sunday. The top 16 players in the world head to the capital for a shot at winning the £250,000 top prize and defending champion Judd Trump is the 7/2 favourite in the snooker betting with Ronnie O’Sullivan just behind at 15/4.

The action starts on Sunday with Luca Brecel a 4/5 favourite to overcome jack Lisowski whilst the other match sees Shaun Murphy take on the ‘Mighty Mouse’ Zhang Anda.
