Cazoo Masters Darts Betting Tips & Predictions
The first important tournament of the year takes place in Milton Keynes this week with the Cazoo Masters being held at the Marshall Arena.
Defending champion Joe Cullen will be looking to prove to everyone he deserves to be playing in major finals.
He will have his work cut out for him with a number of former champions in the 24-man field. They include Jonny Clayton, Peter Wright, Michael van Gerwen and James Wade.
The tournament will be shown live on ITV4 in the United Kingdom and through the PDC’s worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay.
Current world champion Michael Smith will be looking to continue his amazing form by winning another title to add to the World Championship and Grand Slam he has recently won.
Smith is the man to beat at the moment, but I am not backing him to bring the title home from Milton Keynes.
Gerwyn Price didn’t have the best of World Championships as he let the crowd get to him, but he has put that behind him for now. He finished runner-up in the last two World Series of Darts tournaments.
I am backing the Welshman to win his first title of 2023 by shutting the crowd out and letting his darts do the talking. He will enter the competition in the second round and will take on the winner of Dirk van Duijvenbode and Krzysztof Ratajski.
