The best 32 players in darts will converge on Wolverhampton in England this weekend, as they go head to head for a week of furious darts action at the 2023 Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts. With participants qualifying based on event wins across the past season, this tournament is assured to produce some enthralling match ups between in-form players.
One of the most in-form players on the PDC Tour at the moment is Gerwyn Price, who heads to Wolverhampton looking to claim his fourth title at the Grand Slam of Darts, backing up his recent win at the Players Championship 29 this week. Can Michael van Gerwen spring back to form and win here for the first time in six years? Or will Price continue rolling on and adding to his already formidable tally of titles?
We break down all the latest darts odds from bookmaker bet365 ahead of this weekend’s action and outline the best bets to make on the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts.

In an uncommon occurrence, Gerwyn Price is the betting favourite heading into this tournament, not Michael van Gerwen. It will be unfamiliar ground for the Dutchman, who is used to being the favourite in virtually every event he’s played over recent years. However, at 5.00 compared to 5.50, Price holds the slight edge here.
Luke Humphries, recent winner at the World Grand Prix of Darts, straddles the odds between the leading two players and the rest of the field, returning 7.50 to win. From here, odds drop off, with Michael Smith and Peter Wright joint on 13.00 to close out the top five betting favourites. Odds to make the final are similar, with Price at 3.40 through to Smith at 7.50.

Those looking to bet on the Grand Slam of Darts this year will need to answer one question: can Gerwyn Price keep up his fine form in 2023? It seems like the obvious answer that the Welshman will win, considering both recent form (win at the latest Players Championship, plus final of the World Grand Prix and quarter-finals at the European Championship) and his track record at the Grand Slam of Darts (winner in 2018, 2019 and 2021). Backing him to win a fourth title here at 5.00 is a very solid bet.
Those after a little more value on their wager may want to consider backing Nathan Aspinall to return to form just in time. The Englishman has been hot and cold of late, suffering a few early exits at the Players Championship. However, this time last year he was within shots of claiming the title, and with a return four times greater than Price’s, may be worth a punt in Wolverhampton this weekend.
