2025 Grand Slam of Darts: Day 3 Betting Tips

• Ricky Evans To Win: 13/10 at BetVictor

James Wade crashed out of this year's Grand Slam yesterday, after a resounding 5-0 defeat to Gerwyn Price. It was a strange performance by The Machine, and I expect it to be hard for him to get up for it this evening, knowing he can't progress to the knockout stages.

Ricky Evans has qualified for the group stages with a game to spare, after two 5-4 victories over Gerwyn Price and Steffan Bellmont. The entertaining Englishman thrives on the big stage, and he'll be tough to beat in this confident mood.

• Under 6.5 Legs: 19/10 at Ladbrokes

Chris Dobey has breezed through to the knockout stages with back-to-back 5-1 victories over Jurgen van der Velde and Damon Heta.

He looks in good form and should breeze through tonight against Martin Lukeman, who's averaged just 83 and 79 in his two group stage defeats.

• Over 7.5 Legs: 5/6 at BetVictor

Stephen Bunting is another high-profile name to crash out of this year's group stages, after suffering successive 5-4 defeats.

Bunting isn't a player to go out with a whimper, though, and I expect him to relax and be competitive tonight, in what should be a high-quality match against table topper, Luke Woodhouse.

• Martin Schindler Most 180s & Win: 21/20 at Bet365

Martin Schindler hit six 180s and averaged 100.78 to deny Stephen Bunting in a last-leg decider yesterday evening. It was a much better performance from the German number one, who's really struggled to find his form on the big stage over the past 18 months.

Alexis Toylo suffered a 5-2 defeat against the in-form Luke Woodhouse last night, meaning this evening's tie is a huge match for both.

The pace of play will be a huge factor in this match, as the Filipino certainly knows how to take his time. Schindler needs to settle early; if he does that, he will come through fairly comfortably; if he doesn't, it could well turn into a scrappy affair.

• Under 7.5 Legs: 10/11 at Virgin Bet

Michael Smith had opportunities to get on top of the world number one last night, but ultimately Humphries showed his class, closing out a 5-3 victory with a magnificent 9-dart finish.

Bully Boy can take plenty of positives from his opening two matches, and a big win here would secure his progression to the knockout stages.

• Over 7.5 Legs: 4/5 at Betfred

Luke Humphries was struggling last night until producing a magical 9-dart finish to defeat Michael Smith 5-3.

That result means that the world number one needs three legs to confirm his progression to the knockout stages.

Nathan Aspinall faces an uphill task to get through, but he's a scrapper, and these types of occasions are where he usually thrives.

He won't just roll over and gift Humphries the three legs he needs to progress; he'll make him battle for them, which should create a very competitive tie.
