Littler Bookies Favourite for World Title

Ahead of the final of the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship, Luke Littler is the clear favourite to win the title with William Hill at 2/5 and even the teenagers celebrations have become the stuff of betting interest.

The Nuke’s opponent, 3 time champion Michael van Gerwen, is now a 2/1 chance.

There have been two nine darters so far in the competition, and it’s 4/1 that either Littler or Van Gerwen hit one in tonight’s final, with Littler 7/1 to be the one hitting the perfect leg.

We saw the Premier League champion take out a ‘Big Fish’ 170 checkout last night against Stephen Bunting, and 13/8 says there’s one hit in the final, with Littler 3/1 to make it consecutive evenings with a maximum checkout.

During his quarter final tie, ‘The Nuke’ was seen using the celebration of ex-Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, and he’s 12/1 to pull out the Drogba celebration once again during the final, with the well-known celebrations of Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford (16/1) and Rasmus Hojlund (20/1) also a possibility.

“Luke Littler’s imperious run to the final of the World Darts Championship has seen him installed as a strong favourite at 2/5 over three-time World Champion Michael van Gerwen (2/1).

“Tonight’s final promises world-class scoring and checkouts from both players, and as a result a maximum 170 checkout is priced at 13/8, with us going 5/1 that either player hits a nine-darter.

“In terms of celebrations, we could see ‘The Nuke’ pulling out the Drogba (12/1) as he did in the quarter final, or the Manchester United supporter may well choose to imitate the scoring rituals of Marcus Rashford (16/1) or Rasmus Hojlund (20/1).”
