Is the Euro Tour to tough to call? Our guest blogger looks at alternative darts based betting opportunities!

The darts PDC European Tour has already witnessed two events so far, and third of the eight that comprise the tour will take place between the 17^th and 19^th of May, at the Maritim Hotel in Düsseldorf. The first two events saw wins for John Part and Wes Newton, and the third one is likely see more great darts action, alongside some serious darts betting interest. There is odds information now available at many of the top online bookies, so what tips does this give us as to who is worth a wager for this event?

Well the first thing to note is that neither of the two previous winners are rated amongst the favourites this time around, with John Part being rated a 66/1 outsider, and Wes Newton having pretty long odds of 33/1 too. The favourite at the moment is Michael van Gerwen, who has been given odds of just 3/1 at one sports betting site. However one of the genuine stars of the game – Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor is ranked just behind him at 4/1, and given his past record in the game he is likely to attract a lot of bets ahead of the event.

There are actually several players considered to be in real contention for this event, which is great for darts fans, but makes the task of betting harder – meaning some betting fans may decide just to play a darts game at an online casino such as Jackpot city rather than risk their money.

After all, online casino sites now offer a great choice of sporting slots games that are attracting more sports fans than ever before, with one of the best darts themed ones being Bulls Eye. This game offers a spectacular top jackpot of $15,000, but it is the real likelihood of securing some sort of payout that is the key to the huge popularity of slots games.

The presence of wild symbols and multiple pay lines gives players a great chance of winning money, while mobile casino sites have ensured that you can play the games from any location on your phone – even during breaks in sports contests like the PDC European Tour events.
