2025 World Series Of Darts Finals: Day 1 Betting Tips

• Kevin Doets Most 180s: 11/10 at William Hill

This has the potential to be a good battle between these two Dutchmen. Both are in fairly decent form, but Jermaine Wattimena looks the more consistent player on the big stage at the moment.

Saying that, however, Kevin Doets hits a lot of maximums, and when he's flowing nicely, he's a 180 machine, so he looks fantastic value to outscore his opponent.

• Mike De Decker Most 180s & Win: 2/1 at Bet365

Mike De Decker was superb during his first-round victory over Ritchie Edhouse last week at ET11, averaging 100.90 with a magical eight 180s. He then ran into MVG on his A game, but there were signs of a return to form.

Gabriel Clemens continues to struggle on the big stage since his incredible run to the semi-final of the 2023 World Championship.

Over the last two seasons, the German has failed to get past round four in any Major televised tournament and has failed to win a game at the World Series Finals in his four attempts to date.

For me, the Belgian looks much the better player at the moment, and if he continues the form of last week, he should come through this match fairly comfortably.

• Over 9.5 Legs: 6/5 at Paddy Power

Luke Humphries is having another fabulous season and continues to pick up titles. Cool Hand won ET11 last week, including a 7-1 victory over James Wade en route. The World number one has picked up a World Series title at the US Masters this year, but faces a tough opener here.

James Wade looks back to his brilliant best and continues to impress. He is fantastic on the big stage and has always been superb when he has a single match to focus on, rather than multiple in a day. He'll be extremely dangerous, and this could easily go to a last-leg decider.

• Wessel Nijman Most 180s: 6/5 at Bet365

Wessel Nijman is climbing the world rankings rapidly and is now ranked number 39. His power scoring is a vital component of his success, and he can easily outscore MVG at the moment.

Michael van Gerwen continues to struggle with consistency, as highlighted at ET11 last week when he averaged 112.73 in his first match before losing with an 89 average.

He remains one of the best players in the world, but his scoring power isn't the same at the moment, and he will struggle to keep up with the young Dutchman.
