World Darts Championship Day 4 Accumulator @ 2/1 – Boylesports

​Leg 1: Ritchie Edhouse vs Jonny Tata – Jonny Tata +2.5 Handicap

Best odds of 1/3 available at bet365 while publishing.

Sunday afternoon’s curtain-raiser between Ritchie Edhouse and Jonny Tata could be closer than the pre-match odds suggest. Edhouse’s standout moment came with his European Championship triumph in 2024, but he has struggled to find consistency and failed to qualify for several major tournaments since.

Moreover, Edhouse’s difficulties on the Ally Pally stage are reflected in his poor World Darts Championship record, where he has repeatedly exited in the early rounds without making a significant impact.

While Tata will be making his Alexandra Palace debut on Sunday, he is not completely untested on the big stage—he famously beat two-time world champion Peter Wright at the 2023 New Zealand Darts Masters. Considering this, along with Edhouse’s recent struggles, the newcomer looks worth supporting with a +2.5 handicap start.

Leg 2: Joe Cullen vs Bradley Brooks – Over 3.5 Sets

Best odds of 2/5 available at AK Bets while publishing.

The market may be overreacting to Joe Cullen’s patchy form—he is still a two-time Players Championship winner this season. While Bradley Brooks is capable of coming out on top, his odds seem too short given his lack of experience at this level compared to Cullen.

Twelve months ago, when considered the underdog in a second round clash with Wessel Nijman, the Rockstar responded by romping to a 3-0 win. Deemed the outsider again here in similar circumstances, Cullen should be extra motivated to raise his game.

Expect a closer contest than the odds suggest, with over 3.5 sets looking likely.

Leg 3: Dimitri van den Bergh vs Darren Beveridge – Dimitri van den Bergh +1.5 Handicap

Best odds of 4/9 available at 888sport while publishing.

Dimitri van den Bergh may not be the force he once was, but he appears to have been underestimated in his round one clash with Darren Beveridge.

The Belgian has a proven record on the big stage, winning multiple major titles and enjoying several deep runs in the World Championship, reaching the semi-finals only three years ago.

The Dreammaker’s methodical, controlled style allows him to dictate the pace of the match and use every trick in the book to disrupt his opponent’s rhythm—a strategy we are likely to see against Ally Pally newcomer Beveridge.

Against a rookie with no previous exposure to this level, backing van den Bergh with a +1.5 handicap makes a lot of sense.

Leg 4: Stephen Bunting vs Sebastian Bialecki – Stephen Bunting -1.5 Handicap

Best odds of 1/3 available at Star Sports during publishing.

Backing Stephen Bunting to overcome a -1.5 handicap in his first round clash with Sebastian Bialecki looks like a solid selection.

The Bullet made a deep run to the semi-finals at last year’s World Championship, showing he can raise his game on the big stage. Despite displaying some inconsistent form since then, Bunting remains one of the sport’s top players and is capable of beating anyone on his day.

As for Bialecki, his sole World Championship appearance came in 2023, where he was eliminated in the first round. Up against an elite operator like Bunting, another early exit seems likely.

Given his superior pedigree, the world number four looks well-placed to comfortably cover a -1.5 handicap.

The four-fold pays a best price of 2.5/1 with AK Bets at the time of publishing.
