European Championship Darts Betting

The European Championship is a yearly darts event that sees all the biggest players in the sport head to Germany in the quest for a major trophy. It's known for creating a variety of upsets, with underdog stories filling the headlines. This was the case in the 2024 iteration of the European Championship, where Ritchie Edhouse lifted his first major darts trophy.

For anyone who wants to bet on the Darts European Championship, BetVictor has got you covered. We have a huge range of European Championship betting markets, with comprehensive options for every match that is played throughout the tournament!

The Most Popular European Championship Darts Betting Markets

Some of the most popular European Championship darts betting options at BetVictor include the following:

  • Outright Winner: This European Championship betting market allows you to predict which player will lift the trophy after winning the final.
  • Each Way: The each way bet is an extension of the outright winner market, allowing you to double your stake size to cover extra positions. If your chosen player finishes in one of these positions, the each way part of the bet will be awarded at a fraction of the original European Championship odds.
  • Match Winner: In addition to picking the winner of the entire European Championship, this betting market allows you to pick which player you think will be victorious in a particular match.
  • Handicap: With handicap European Championship betting, a virtual disadvantage will be imposed on the favourite to win the match, or a virtual advantage will be given to the underdog, in an attempt to make the match as even as possible. For example, if you bet on Michael van Gerwen to beat Jonny Clayton -2.5, this means that MvG must win by at least 3 clear legs.
  • Total Number of Legs: For this darts betting market, a number of legs will be displayed on the screen, and punters can decide whether there will be more or fewer legs played in the match. For example, betting on over 10.5 legs means that at least 11 legs must be played in total.
  • Correct Score: As the name suggests, this option involves picking the correct score for the match. This can be tricky to predict, however, the European Championship darts odds are typically higher to reflect this.

Of course, these aren't the only darts betting markets that are available, either, with a huge range of other options to choose from at BetVictor. You can also use our range of in-play betting markets that become available when the match begins, with specific leg winner markets being a standout option to consider!

Recent Winners of the European Championship

Ritchie Edhouse is the current champion of this European darts event, shocking the world after he defeated Jermaine Wattimena in the final to claim his first major trophy. Interestingly, Edhouse started the tournament with odds of 250/1, with very few people giving him a chance of lifting the trophy at the end of the weekend.

Even more impressive was the fashion in which he defeated Wattimena in the final, as Ritchie Edhouse strung together 9 legs to dominate in an 11 - 3 showing that will go down in darting history.
