The PDC darts series continues this week in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands as some of the biggest names in darts look to claim the Dutch crown. With £60,000 on the line and a full field of top 10 players, there’s plenty of great darts and betting action to be had this weekend.
Luke Littler heads to ‘s-Hertogenbosch having done in Bahrain what he was unable to pull off in London weeks earlier. The 16-year-old scored an excellent win over Michael van Gerwen in the final of the Bahrain Masters last weekend. Can he continue his hot form in Holland? Or will van Gerwen gain his revenge? What about Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price, who will be eager to enter the conversation again?
We break down all the latest betting odds from bookmaker William Hill ahead of the first darts flight and outline the best bets to make on the Dutch Darts Masters.

Outright betting odds from bookmaker William Hill have Luke Humphries as the favourite in ‘s-Hertogenbosch but only just. The Englishman returns 4.00 for an outright victory at the Dutch Darts Masters, narrowly ahead of last weekend’s winner in Luke Littler, who pays 4.50. Michael van Gerwen, finalist in Bahrain, is also at 4.50. Gerwyn Price and Michael Smith round out the top five betting favourites but are well off the pace at 7.50 and 10.00 respectively.
Given how congested the outright betting odds are heading into the Dutch Darts Masters, it would be easy to think this is anyone’s tournament. Humphries has been in fine form over the past three months, while Littler is the man of the hour. van Gerwen and Price, on the other hand, are seasoned veterans whose reputations precede them.
All of this considered, we say the defining edge will be van Gerwen’s home ground advantage. The Dutchman loves to play in front of a home crowd, which is exactly what he’ll have behind him all weekend.
In Bahrain, van Gerwen came ever so close to knocking out Littler in the final. The Dutchman is coming back into form after a quiet spell. We say he’ll remind darts fans exactly the kind of player he is this weekend, with van Gerwen having won virtually every accolade there is to win in the sport over the past two decades. Back him for the win here at 4.50 for a handsome return.
