The darts European championship betting odds 2019 favour Michael van Gerwen who is the top seed at the Unibet Darts European Championship 2019.  It will be held in Gottingen, Germany between the 24th and 27th of October. 

The European Championship is held by the 12th time.  It represents the 32 best players of the European tour events ranked in the European Tour Order of Merit. The favourite is the Dutch giant, van Gerwen who has been dominating in the last few years. Last year’s champion James Wade and runner-up Simon Whitlock will be there too.  Second seed Ian White is also competing for the title and the £120,000 prize money.
