United States Grand Prix F1 Predictions & Betting Tips
F1 is back this weekend as the run-in begins with eight races in six weeks…
It’s stop number 12 on the PDC European Tour, as the darting action heads somewhere new for 2024. For the first time in history, Switzerland hosts an event on the tour held at the St. Jakobshalle Basel.
A new country and venue with plenty of excited spectators ready to welcome the best in the world to the stage, our experts here at Betting Online have been looking at how things may play out in Basel.
For the first time in the history of the PDC European Tour an event is being held in Switzerland. The twelfth instalment of the tour follows the Hungarian Darts Trophy and Players Championship events, during which we saw the likes of Dave ‘Chizzy’ Chisnall and Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler run riot!
Many of the tour’s players will be desperate to be the first to win a brand new trophy and forever have their name etched in history as the first to win the inaugural Swiss Trophy.
It is going to be a close one to call, with so much of the field having fantastic playing seasons and streaks coming into the event.
