World Darts Championship Odds
The World Darts Championship odds for the biggest competition in the sport and there will be huge Ladbrokes World Darts betting interest in this event at Alexandra Palace over the next few weeks. The 13 times world champion, and 2007 runner-up, Phil Taylor leads the way at the head of the market at 6/4, the Stoke native has already been well backed to regain his crown. Next in the market is Ray van Barneveld who is a 5/2 chance with the sponsors Ladbrokes. With players such as James Wade, Terry Jenkins and Adrian Lewis bound to be there or thereabouts, it's easy to see why fans are spreading their money around.

It's appropriate that Alexandra Palace-the tournament's new home-was originally billed as the People's Palace in 1873. Now it's set to play host to the people's game some 134 years later. And the odds suggest that the 2008 competition will be one of the most competitive in recent memory.
But reigning king of the oche, Raymond van Barneveld, is hanging onto the Power's coat tails a little further back in the betting. Ladbrokes have seen more money than usual wagered on the rest of the field minus Taylor and Barneveld. An indication, perhaps, that punters are expecting a serious challenge to the big two's dominance.
This is the sixth time that Ladbrokes.com has supported darts' premier event. We, like fans everywhere, are looking forward to two weeks packed full of thrills, spills and entertainment.
