World Darts Championship Day Six predictions: Darts betting tips, 16/1 treble and free bets

PDC World Championship Day Six predictions

• Ben Robb to beat Richard Veenstra – 7/4 with SpreadEx
• Luke Littler -1.5 vs Christian Kist – 8/11 at BetMGM
• Peter Wright to win 3-1 vs Jim Williams – 11/4 with Betway
• The treble pays over 16/1 with Betway

Peter Wright is the headline act on day six of the 2024 World Darts Championship but the big value for darts betting fans comes from other fixtures on Wednesday night.

Wright has endured his fair share of second-round nightmares at the Ally Pally but UK betting sites don’t expect him to succumb to a shock loss this time around. He’s down to face Jim Williams, the Welshman who didn’t need to hit top form to bypass Norman Madhoo 3-0 in the first round.

Wright vs Williams may be the headline act for Wednesday but the night’s other matches perhaps hold as much interest from a betting point of view.

Indeed, the evening session kicks off with a mouthwatering encounter between Ryan Joyce and America’s Alex Spellman. Richard Veenstra and Christian Kist then take on Ben Robb and Luke Littler respectively, with the Dutchmen both expected to win.

But it’s these games that could provide the shocks that new bookmakers are worried about – the type of against-the-odds results that have the potential to supercharge a darts acca.

With that in mind, here are three darts tips for Wednesday’s World Championship action, which can be combined into a treble that pays over 16/1 with Betway.

Ben Robb vs Richard Veenstra predictions

(8.10pm) 

Veenstra has not had the best of seasons and heads into the 2024 World Darts Championship having only just recovered from a five-tournament losing streak that cost him a decent draw for the Players Championship Finals.

The Dutchman is favourite to beat Robb at 1/2 but those odds don't take the New Zealander’s form into account. Robb has shone in the recent MODUS Super Series, winning 13 of his last 17 contests this December.

Granted, he doesn’t have the pedigree of Veenstra but he does carry some good form.

Veenstra has beaten Michael Smith and Jonny Clayton in recent weeks but also lost to lesser opponents. His rollercoaster form makes him an unreliable favourite and we’re opposing him with our first PDC World Championship prediction.

Luke Littler vs Christian Kist predictions

(9.10pm)

One might expect Kist, as the PDC Order of Merit qualifier, to lead the betting against Development Tour ace Littler. However, darts betting sites are backing the Englishman for victory here after his recent successes.

Littler won the World Youth Championship in November, beating Gian van Veen 6-4 in the final. At just 16, Littler is tipped as one of the next generation of bright stars in darts.

This is his first PDC World Darts Championship appearance, having reached the fourth round of the UK Open earlier in the year.

At 4/11, the bookies evidently think Littler should dispose of Kist with ease. However, if the gap between the Worlds debutant and Kist is as big as the odds suggest, it may be worth backing Littler on the handicap. 

In the latest Darts World Champions odds he’s 8/11 to cover a -1.5 handicap, which means he’ll need to win the best of five contest by at least two sets for the bet to land.

Peter Wright vs Jim Williams predictions

(10.10pm)

Wright is not as heavy a favourite on betting apps as you might expect to beat Jim Williams. This belies a scepticism in the Scottish fourth seed that doesn’t do him justice.

Wright has won two of the last four World Darts Championships but fallen in the third round in the other two. Granted, he is vulnerable to an early exit but his form is strong, winning the European Championship less than two months ago.

Williams, meanwhile, posted a fairly mundane 87.84 average in his routine win over Norman Madhoo on Sunday. He will need to be a lot sharper to even threaten Wright here.

With that in mind, a 3-1 Wright victory is our preferred choice. The Scot isn’t about to whitewash his opponent but nor should he be overly troubled.
