The World Darts Championship is currently underway in the United Kingdom and punters can enjoy a wide range of betting selections from the world’s premier online bookmakers.

Darts has become a popular sport for betting in the last few years. The World Championships take place in December and January, yet it is the continued darts coverage from Premier League Darts, launched on 20th January 2005 and now entering its seventh season and shown live on Sky Sports, that has made this pastime one of the favourite sports for online bookmakers to make odds about.

The 2011-12 Grand Slam of Darts takes place between the 12th-20th November in Wolverhampton.

This year, for the first time, Sky Sports will be covering the competition having taken over from ITV Sport.

The Grand Slam of Darts is one of the most prestigious events on the darts calendar and the winner is guaranteed £100,000 with a total prize fund of £400,000 .

The PDC World Cup of Darts is one of the three new tournaments which was introduced into the calendar in 2010. It will be held for the first time in December this year in the north-east of England and World Cup of darts betting promises to be richly rewarding for lovers of a high level darts tournament.

Raymond van Barneveled and Co Stompe won the first tournament in 2010 for the Netherlands, beating Wales in the final and considering the quality of darts players in England, it was a shock when they were beaten by Spain in the early stages of the tournament.
