Coral’s 2015 Premier League Darts top betting tips

With the 2015 Premier League Darts event coming up, from February 5th – May 21st, Coral provide punters with top tips to help you win big.

We start off with the outright bet, and I suggest you look no further than recent PDC World Championship winner Gary Anderson. The Flying Scotsman has been in devastating form the last couple of months, claiming the Player Championship Finals title in December too, and is a tempting 9/2 chance (third-favourite) to lift his second Premier League Darts title.

But Anderson just scraped into the play-offs last season, finishing fourth ahead of compatriot Peter Wright, so back Michael van Gerwen, who was first in the league in 2014, to be top again at 15/8.

In terms of qualifying for the semi-finals, usual suspects Van Gerwen, Phil Taylor (both 1/4) and Anderson (1/2) are the odds-on chances, but competition debutant Stephen Bunting, who won the 2014 BDO World Championship, is a tempting 7/4 shout. The Bullet has highly impressed since switching to the PDC, knocking out Raymond van Barneveld at Ally Pally to reach the semis, and could further announce himself on the world stage by reaching the final four at London’s O2.

For relegation, Dave Chisnall and another new participant Kim Huybrechts are the joint-favourites at 11/10 to exit the Premier League after week nine. Chizzy, though, showed glimpses of quality last season, including getting a draw against eventual champion Barney, so I would go with one of returning James Wade (9/2) or the inconsistent Adrian Lewis (13/2) to join Belgian Huybrechts, who is 3/1 to finish bottom.
