It’s fair to say throwing arrows at a cork board is pretty lucrative business these days.

The lucky players that have descended on Alexandra Palace in London for the Paddy Power World Darts Championship are battling it out for the Sid Waddell Trophy – and more money than you can shake a stick at.

Luke Humphries claimed the most prestigious prize in the game last season when beating wonderkid Luke Littler in the most recent final to bag half a million British pounds. Woof!

Just reaching the tournament itself is a decent enough pay day, which is good news for the 64 qualifiers that compete in the first round before the big boys enter the fun in round two.

The near three weeks of fun at the legendary Alexandra Palace in London begins on Sunday, 15th December and runs through to the grand final on Friday, 3rd January.

World Darts Championship odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power, otherwise the prize money breakdown for the upcoming tournament at Ally Pally is below.
