BDO World Darts Championship

BDO World Darts Championship Free Bets
The British Darts Organisation World Darts Championship began as the unified World Championship in 1978 but after a dispute, the PDC formed a new tournament in 1994. Despite this split, the BDO World Darts Championship is one of the premium events on the darts calendar and some of darts' biggest stars will be returning to the Lakeside Country Club on January 3 2009 for the 32nd BDO World Darts Championship. To add to the excitement of this prestigious evcent, Betfair and Skybet are offering free bets to new customers.

The BDO World Darts Championship sees the best male and female players in the world fight it out over nine days for the title of World Champion and a share of over £300,000 in prize money. There is also £3,000 on offer to the player who makes the highest checkout and a whopping £52,000 to anyone who completes a nine dart finish. The only player to score 501 with nine darts in the BDO World Darts Championship is Paul Lim who made the perfect score in 1990 against Jack McKenna and took home more money than the eventual champion!

Some of the greatest darts matches in history have taken place at the BDO World Championships. In 1992 and 1995 the final went down to the final decider with both players tied on five sets and five legs all. Phil 'The Power' Taylor beat Mike Gregory in 1992 whilst Raymond van Barneveld took the honours against Richie Burnett in 1995. The 2007 affair was just as exciting when Martin Adams sailed into a 6-0 lead, but after the break Phil Nixon won the next six legs but Adams resolve held and he won the 13th and deciding leg for his first title in 14 years.
