2025 World Cup Of Darts Betting Preview
From the European Darts Open, to the World Cup of Darts. Can England justify their very short odds? Find out what James Punt thinks in his 2025 World Cup Of Darts betting preview.
2025 World Cup Of Darts
The World Cup of Darts. A nice idea but one that doesn’t really work. It would be fine as a two day event with maybe sixteen teams, but now we have no less than forty countries included, the vast majority of whom have absolutely no chance of being competitive, and there are only a handful of countries that can win the thing.
Of the forty teams, four are seeded, the four that are the most likely to win, and they enter at the second round stage. The very cynical may just say that England should be given the trophy and be done with it. A team made up of Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, the two best players in the world by whatever metric you can measure them, are very likely to win, as odds of 1.50 suggest.
But, we have four days of ‘action’ to whittle the field down to…. England winning. Of course, favourites get beaten all the time, but in this competition? Not so much.
2012 Beginnings
The first World Cup of Darts was held in 2012 and the first three editions saw twenty four teams with the top eight seeded. The competition included singles and pairs matches but by 2023 the format had evolved into a field of forty teams and a group stage for the first time since 2013.
12 groups of 3 countries were drawn, with the winner of each group advancing into the second round, while the top four ranked countries automatically advanced into the second round. This format also consisted of the teams playing all matches in pairs throughout the competition for the first time.
Getting rid of the singles element has improved the concept as the pairs format is not played at the top level. It has the potential to be a bit of a leveller, with the emphasis on ‘a bit’. In 2023 the second seeds, Wales, beat the fourth seeds, Scotland. In 2024 Number 1 seeds England beat the number 10 seeds, Austria.
England On Top
There have been fourteen World Cup of Darts. England have won five, the Netherlands four, Scotland two, Wales two and Australia one. Of those winners, only Australia could have been considered a surprise, but they were the fifth seeds. The seedings are worked out by combining the two players’ world rankings, with the lowest being the number 1 seeds and so on.
Throughout the events various different formats, the number one seeds have won five, the number two seeds five, the number three seeds two and one each for the fifth and sixth seeds.
In terms of the runners up, we have had three unseeded teams making the final. Belgium (2013), Ireland (2019) and Austria (2021). Again, no great surprises, those three teams all featured full time, Tour card carrying professionals. The number one seeds have been runners up three times, number two seeds three times, number three seeds once, number four seeds twice, the fifth seeds once and the tenth seeds once.
The number 1 seeds have made the final eight times and the number two seeds also eight times.
All this suggest that you should not be looking too far down the list of the seeded nations to find the finalists. There is just a lot of flaff to get there.
I will run through the list of the seeded teams, the players, combined rankings, odds, and realistic chances.
2025 World Cup Of Darts: Team by Team
1 England – Luke Humphries and Luke Littler. Combined ranking 3. Odds 1.50.
Very likely to win.
2 Wales – Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price. Combined ranking 16. Odds 7.00.
Realistic potential finalists.
3 Scotland – Gary Anderson and Peter Wright. Combined ranking 28. Odds 15.00.
Five finals in the last ten years (once with Henderson and Wright) suggests that they are contenders, but they are both getting on a bit.
4 Northern Ireland – Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney. Combined ranking 42. Odds 21.00.
Their odds are a fair reflection of their chances. Had the Tournament entry cut-off date been the 9th June, Norn Iron would not have been ranked top four and would have had to play in the group stage. That may be a hint. The number four seeded teams have never won a WCoD and only made one final.
5 The Netherlands – Danny Noppert and Gian van Veen. Combined ranking 38. Odds 17.00.
Talented duo and decent potential if they gel. Note that their latest combined ranking is lower than Northern Ireland, but when the cut off was made (14th May 2025), Josh Rock was ranked higher.
6 Belgium – Mike de Decker and Dimitri van den Bergh. Combined ranking 41. Odds 21.00.
Belgium often have punched above their weight in World Cups, but this is a strange pairing with Van den Bergh returning after a two month break from darts due to mental health issues. Poor value.
7 Germany – Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko. Combined ranking 47. Odds 34.00.
Home field advantage? It has not been the case so far. A decent line up, but will they gel? Pietreczko is a bit of a cold fish. Their odds are decent.
8 Ireland – William O’Connor and Keane Barry. Combined ranking 101. Odds 67.00.
O’Connor was half of the Irish team that made the 2019 final and it would be as big a surprise now, as it was then, if they were to repeat the feat.
9 Poland – Krzysztof Ratajski and Radek Szaganski. Combined ranking 113. Odds 81.00.
We are down to the very lobsided teams now. Szaganski is not a bad player, and good enough to play his part, but he is a weak link at the top level.
10 Canada – Matt Campbell and Jim Long. Combined ranking 161. Odds 126.00.
The Ginja Ninja has been putting in some good performances on the Euro Tour. Jim Long won a Tour card in January but hasn’t made much impression at Pro Tour level.
11 Sweden – Jeffrey de Graaf and Oskar Lukasiak. Combined ranking 183. Odds 101.00.
There is some potential for Sweden to make some impact, but De Graaf took a month off after the birth of his first child and he has only played nine matches in the last two months and he lost five of them. Lukasiak’s recent form is less than inspiring.
12 Austria – Mensur Suljovic and Rusty Jake Rodriguez. Combined ranking 185. Odds 101.00.
The World Cup of Darts giant killers. Austria have made two finals in the last four years and reached five other quarter finals. Suljovic has been the team mainstay but his long time sidekick, Rowby-John Rodriguez, has been replaced with his brother Rusty Jake who picked up a Tour card in January.
He hasn’t made much of it playing thirty one matches and winning just ten. You can’t rule out another good run. Suljovic loves this event and it brings out his best form.
13 United States – Danny Lauby and Jules van Dongen. Combined ranking 224. Odds 1001.00.
Both players have a Tour card, but both will lose it at the end of this season. Lauby has some potential, but Van Dongen was last reported to be trying to throw left handed, so bad was his form. His win rate in 2025? 0%.
14 Czech Republic – Karel Sedlacek and Petr Krivka. Combined ranking 233. Odds 126.00.
They made it through the group stage last year and in Sedlacek they have a dangerman. There is no Adam Gawlas this year, so it is a weaker team.
15 Croatia – Boris Krcmar and Pero Ljubić. Combined ranking 260. Odds 126.00.
Pero Ljubić is the current Tour card holder, but Big Boris Krčmar is the talent. He has been beating up some big names on the Euro Tour in 2025. As for Pero Ljubić? He has lost his last nineteen matches on the bounce. Boris is a big unit, but he will have to carry his teammate if they are to make the knockout phase.
16 Finland – Teemu Harju and Marko Kantele. Combined ranking 304. Odds 401.00.
There are worse seeded teams, but these two won just one leg in their group last year, losing 0-4 to New Zealand and 1-4 to Germany. Harju has improved his seasonal average by over four points in 2025 and picked up two titles on the Nordic Baltic Tour. Kantele is very experienced and picked up another Baltic Nordic title this season, but it fair to say he struggles against Tour card holders.
Overview
I think it is fair to say that outside the top eight seeds, there is no team that can be fancied, but we have had Austria as runners up twice in the last four years. Clearly, with this being a ‘team’ event, now entirely played in a pairs format and a very short first to four leg format in the group stages, there is scope for surprises early on. The top four seeded teams are protected from the minefield that is the group stage.
In 2023, the first as a pairs only format, six unseeded teams made the knock out phase by winning their group. In 2024 it was only two, Italy and Chinese Taipei.
2025 World Cup Of Darts: Best of the Unseeded Teams
Of the unseeded teams, there are a few that could make some sort of impact. The obvious one is Australia. Once more represented by Damon Heta and Simon Whitlock. This was the same line up which won the title in 2022. They were the fifth seed back then, but Whitlock lost his Tour card last year and has no PDC ranking.
Clearly, Australia are a far better team than most of the seeded nations. They made the knockout phase in 2024 but lost to Italy in round two. In 2023 the Aussies made it to the quarter finals. At 51.00, the Australians are the eighth favourites to win this year’s title.
Past Form
I covered the history of the Tournament earlier, but with the significant format change in 2023, it seems wise to concentrate on the last two years.
Clearly, the format change has not turned the form upside down. The last two events have been won by the number two and number one seeds respectively, but we did get the number ten seeds, Austria, making the final last year. In 2023, the final was between the second and fourth seeds.
Seven nations have a 100% group stage win rate in the new format. Belgium, Germany, Australia, France, Croatia, Poland and Sweden. Of those nations, Australia, France, Poland, Italy and Sweden are fielding the same team as last year.
Teams that have punched above their weight in the last two years are Belgium with back to back semi-finals, Austria with one final, Sweden with back to back quarter finals. Honourable mentions have to go to France, 2023 quarter finalists, Italy, 2024 quarter finalists and Croatia, 2024 quarter finalists.
The 2025 World Cup Of Darts Groups
Predicting the group winners is trickier than it looks with the format being best of seven legs pairs matches, every match has a potential to produce a shock and frankly, it is not a great betting format, and indeed I do not rate the whole Tournament as great for betting on. Having the odd stab on an outsider is about the limit for me.
Group A
The Netherlands are the 1.10 favourites and the Noppert – Van Veen Pairing should be too good for Italy and Hungary. Italy did win their (much easier) group last year, but that ended a run of first stage exits.
Group B
Tournament specialists Belgium are the 1.25 favourites to come out on top, ahead of Latvia and the Philippines. It is not as straightforward as it could be, however. Latvia have the talented Madars Razma, who carried his nation through the group stage in 2023.
The Philippines also came through the group stage in 2023 and with a lineup of Lourence Ilagan and Paolo Nebrida, they have a very decent team. Belgium look good on paper, but how can you assess their chances when Van den Bergh has been out for two months?
This is one of the groups where the favourites might be worth taking on. Philippines make enough appeal at 7.00.
Group C
Home side Germany are the 1.17 favourites to come out on top of Portugal and Singapore. Schindler and Pietreczko is a new pairing but with Schindler’s power scoring capabilities and Pietreczko’s finishing, they could make a very good team.
Germany have arguably underachieved in the WCoD, but they have reached two semi-finals with Schindler in the team. Portugal will have to rely on the struggling Jose de Sousa, and Singapore, the 97 year old Paul Lim. Neither of the outsiders here has made it through the group stage. Home run for Germany.
Group D
Ireland lead the betting as the 1.08 favourites to overcome China and Gibraltar. Outside of making the final of the 2019 WCoD, Ireland have a pretty dire record in this event. Only once have they made it past the second round and in this format, this O’Connor and Barry combination have failed to make past the group stage.
They lost out to Chinese Taipei last year, and Croatia in 2023. Obviously, the 1.08 represents terrible value, but can you oppose them with China or Gibraltar? No is the answer.
Group E
An interesting group with Poland the favourites to get the better of South Africa and Norway. Poland have got through the group stages both times since the format was changed.
South Africa made the knockout stage in 2023 but this year they have a new line up, and an interesting one. Devon Petersen makes his return after missing last year, and he is joined by Cameron Carolissen, who very nearly had a massive shock win over Wessel Nijman in this year’s World Championship.
Petersen has dropped of the darting radar and has played exclusively on the new African Continental Tour in 2025. His seasonal average is now just 77.88. The problem with playing in very weak Tours is that you can win titles and matches without having to play that well.
Petersen was a good player at his best, winning a Euro Tour title in 2020. He was a top 30 player in 2020-2021 and if he can find some embers in his form, you never know. Carolissen is no mug, as Nijman will tell you. He took the Dutchman to the wire, averaging 95.50 at Ally Pally.
Norway lost out to Poland in the 2023 group stage and this group looks to be between Poland and South Africa. Poland are the 1.17 favourites with South Africa a tempting 8.00.
Group F
Canada are the 1.44 favourites. Matt Campbell has played himself into the top 32 of the European Championship OOM with his recent quarter final in the European Darts Open. Jim Long won a Tour card at the ripe old age of 57 back in January but it is fair to say that he struggles against all but the journeyman pros.
Denmark are the 3.75 second favourites. They are represented by Benjamin Drue Reus and Andreas Hyllgaardhus. Reus has played in the last two World Cups, making the knockout stage in 2023, but finishing in last place in the group in 2024. Hyllgaardhus is making his debut. He has made two Nordic Baltic Tour semi-finals in 2025, but he is nothing special.
Malaysia are making just their fourth WCoD appearance and they have yet to win a match.
Canada need Campbell to continue his good run of form and for Long to support him. Both have reached a WCoD quarter final and Canada look to be solid favourites.
Group G
A group where all three teams are odds against. Sweden are the 2.38 favourites and are looking to make it three from three group wins. They are up against France and Lithuania. France made the quarter finals in 2023, but Sweden have done so for the last two years. Lithuania have had the same line up for the last six years, but in this group format have gone out before the knockout stage, winning just one match against Portugal in 2023.
France are the 3.10 second favourites and they have won their group both times and both with the same team. Tricole is their best player but he is not as good as Sweden’s De Graaf. Labre lost his Tour card last year but keeps his hand in on the Challenge Tour.
I will take the Swedes to continue with their very respectable WCoD record.
Group H
Two of the top performers of recent years, Austria and Australia, are joined by rank outsiders Spain. Australia are the 1.73 favourites with Austria 2.25.
The Wizard has played in every WCoD, winning it with Heta in 2022, was runner up in 2012 and had three more semi-finals. He has paired with Heta since 2020 and it that time they won it once and had three quarter finals. Last year they lost their second round match to Italy.
Austria have relied very heavily on Mensur Suljovic, despite him not even having Austrian citizenship. Like Whitlock, he has played in every previous WCoD, reaching the final twice in the last four years, and five other quarter finals. Rusty-Jake Rodriguez will be his sixth different partner, most of his success came with Rowby-John Rodriguez.
Suljovic Loves The World Cup
Clearly Suljovic has a special affinity with the WCoD. The pairs format might suit him better than most. It is a slow pace of play and many players do not enjoy it. You throw your darts and then have to wait for the other three players to throw theirs. There is not the same rhythm as in a singles match, but rhythm is not something you associate with Suljovic at the best of times.
Australia have two teammates who are just that and they pair up well. Obviously, Whitlock is not the player he was, and perhaps that defeat to Italy in last year’s second round was a sign. Heta reached the final of the European Darts Open a couple of weeks ago, and he won a Players Championship title in April, so he will be feeling good.
Australia have the better team and deserve favouritism, but you can’t knock Suljovic’s Tournament record. Can he still do it without Rowby-John? I almost always go against Austria, but that has proven to be unwise.
Group I
Hong Kong find themselves as the 1.44 favourite to come out on top with the United States and Bahrain. The USA has one of the most out of form players on the planet in the shape of Jules van Dongen. I am amazed that the USA cannot dig up another player to support Danny Lauby.
Bahrain’s darts scene hasn’t taken off, despite hosting a World Series event for the last couple of years. Hong Kong are made up of Man Lok Leung and Lok Yin Lee. Man Lok Leung has won two Asian Tour titles in 2025 and he sits second on that Tours OOM. Lok Yin Lee won two Asin Tour titles in 2023 and had a couple of semi-finals in 2025.
This pairing has represented HK for the last two years, failing to get out of the group stage on both occasions. They beat Japan 4-1 last year but lost 2-4 to Australia. They did give the Aussies a fright in that match. In 2023, they narrowly lost to Japan 3-4 but got thumped by Germany 0-4.
The United States has the best player in Danny Lauby, but Hong Kong have the best team.
Group J
Chinese Taipei are 5.00 to repeat their feat of 2024 and win their group. They played really well to beat Ireland 4-3 in the group decider, averaging 95.02. Only Belgium had a higher average across all of the group stage matches.
Teng Lieh Pupo and An-Sheng Lu make up the team once again. Teng Lieh Pupo plays on the Asian Tour and he was a runner up in AT10 last month. He is massively inconsistent but has a good A game. An-Sheng Lu also plays on the Asian Tour, but not with as much success. He hits a lot of mid 70 averages.
Czech’s Fav
The Czech Republic are the 1.25 favourites and in Karel Sedlacek, they have the best player in the group. He has a new partner this year, Petr Křivka, who we have seen twice on the Euro Tour this year, losing both times to Ritchie Edhouse. He plays some Challenge Tour events and has a mid-80’s average and can make a contribution.
India are the 10.00 outsiders and feature the reasonably talented Nitin Kumar. He has played in four World Championships and in the 2015 WCoD. He will be back at Ally Pally later this year having won the Indian Qualifier. Kumar is joined by the runner up in that Indian World Championship qualifier Mohan Goel. His seasonal average is just 67.
At the odds, Chinese Taipei may be worth backing. This group is no harder that the one they won last year.
Group K
Another slightly more open Group. Croatia are the 1.57 favourites, Japan 4.00 and Switzerland 5.50.
The Croats have the mighty Boris Krčmar as team leader and he is the best player in the group. Unfortunately this is a team event and he has to play with a partner, which dilutes his juice. Croatia made it to the quarter finals last year when Boris was partnered by Romeo Grbavac. This year it is Pero Ljubić who plays the supporting role.
Ljubic won a Tour card in January’s European Tour school. Since then he has played twenty six matches and won just three, He has lost his last nineteen in a row. On the plus side, he has only lost three matches to nil and he has taken a few legs off the likes of Bunting, Anderson, Littler, and Wade, so he can make a contribution.
Japan Not Dismissed
You can never dismiss the Japanese. They often produce players that cause a surprise in World Championships, but they have never had a settled pairing in this event. They do have the same team as last year, Ryusei Azemoto and Tomoya Goto. They finished last in Group D last year, but that was against Hong Kong and Australia, who they took to a deciding leg. Ryusei Azemoto is fourth on the Asian Tour OOM, Tomoya Goto seventh. That is a good line up.
Switzerland have improved. Stefan Bellmont and Alex Fehlmann are the players this year. Bellmont is playing his fourth WCoD, while Fehlmann last played in 2018. Bellmont made the semi-final of PC4 on the pro Tour and won two titles on the Challenge Tour. He is not quite officer material but there are worse players in the group.
Sadly that includes Alex Fehlmann. Switzerland will be no pushovers, they took Northern Ireland to a deciding leg last year, but they are the outsiders.
Croatia are the obvious choice, but Japan may represent the value.
Group L
Another group with three teams that are odds against. New Zealand are the 2.10 favourites, Finland 2.38 and WCoD debutants Argentina 5.50.
The Kiwis are represented by Haupai Puha and Mark Cleaver. ‘Hope’ Puha is making his fourth WCoD appearance and alongside Cody Harris he made the quarter finals in 2019 and the second round in 2020. As he did in 2021 with Warren Parry.
Since the format became a pairs only format, New Zealand have been knocked out in the group phase, but they did win a match on both occasions. Mark Cleaver has won two titles on the New Zealand Pro Tour and was runner up in the most recent event.
He has no experience outside of New Zealand and lost his only World Series match 3-6 to Dimitri van den Bergh in 2024. It is hard to say how he will get on with the TV stage and a big crowd.
Finland
Finland are somehow the sixteenth seeds. They were in the same group as New Zealand in 2024 and lost both matches, including a 0-4 loss to New Zealand. Teemu Harju and Marko Kantele are paired up for the second time.
Argentina are making their debut. Argentina won The Championship Darts Latin & Caribbean Qualifier and take the place of Guyana who played here for the last two years. Their team is made up of Jesús Salate and Víctor Guillín. Your guess is as good as mine.
This would seem to be a toss-up between New Zealand and Finland. Finland’s Kantele has played in ten WCoDs and only once made the second round. NZ have the better pedigree and they get the nod. Puha is a Tour card holder for now, but he has been playing in NZ for the last six weeks winning one title and runner up in another.

Outright Selections
I am not going to give you the reasons why England should win this event. That should be obvious to even the most casual of darts fans. But are there any good reasons why England may not win?
Obviously, Littler and Humphries are human and they don’t win everything. Thay can have an off day like anyone else. In this event, they can probably afford to until they get to the business end and the opposition gets tougher.
The pairs format is another potential leveller. Tour card holders will rarely play in pairs unless they still play for fun in local leagues, and the likes of Littler and Humphries don’t have time for that. The rhythm of doubles is very different and players who like a quick pace of play can find it harder to play their best in this format, while others don’t mind it. Gary Anderson is a strange one as he hates slow play, but he has won this title once and made three other finals. Players can adapt.
German Fans
The final thing that might derail England is the fact that the Tournament is being held in Germany. Luke Littler is still young and a little naïve at times. His social media comments about ‘the Germans don’t like us English’ have been noted, not least of all in Germany.
It has got to the point that he is boycotting any Euro Tour events in Germany, but this event is played in Germany as are the European Championship finals. He has made a rod for his own back.
Luke Humphries is a bit savvier and won’t take the crowd on and he won’t slag them off in social media. He will be OK, but Littler will not be the crowd’s darling, and he doesn’t like it up him. He has to learn to smile through gritted teeth and win the crowd over by playing great darts. This may be England’s weak spot.
No Value
That said, odds of 1.50 are about right. There is no value in them, but it would be a surprise if England don’t win. The thing about having a very short-priced favourite is that the rest of the teams with potential to win the title are available at tasty odds. You can get better value by finding a team in the other half of the draw, who could realistically make the final, and having an each way bet.
England are in the top half of the draw. The other seeded team in the top half are Northern Ireland. I pointed out earlier that the number four seeded teams have only ever made one final. That may well be because they would have to face the number one seeds in the semi-final.
If Rock and Gurney are to improve on the strike rate for the fourth seeded teams, they have to beat England, or hope that someone else does in the second round or quarter final, and win their own matches as well. That puts Northern Ireland’s chances in perspective and at best, odds of 21.00 are thin on value.
There will be six of the group winners put into both halves of the draw, but it is a random draw, so one side of the draw might be the half of death, but at this moment, we don’t know.
Wales & Scotland
Wales and Scotland are the two seeds in the bottom half. Both have strong teams and both are past winners. It took Scotland a while to really get the hang of the WCoD. Anderson never got on with Wright for years and that didn’t help. Anderson didn’t play in the WCoD between 2020 and 2022, and Wright withdrew in 2020 himself, so they have not always fielded their strongest team.
This year Scotland do have the best available team. Anderson doesn’t like travelling, which is a negative, but he has played in no less than four Euro Tour events this season, so he has made the effort in 2025. He won one of them and he remains one of the heaviest scorers in the game. Scotland’s weak spot could be Peter Wright. He is not the player he once was.
Wright On the Wane
Wright has not won a title since the German Darts Championship last August, and that was a surprise. He hasn’t won Players Championship title since 2022 and his last ranking major was the 2023 European Championship.
This not to say he can’t play anymore, and there have been signs of a return to some kind of form. His seasonal average is up to 94.05, not elite level, but handy enough. He has reached a Players Championship final recently and made two Euro Tour quarter finals. It is his consistency that lets him down, but he can make a decent contribution, and with Anderson doing the heavy lifting , Scotland remain a potent force.
Impressive Wales
The Welsh duo of Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price have paired up six times, won the title twice and been runners up once. In their last four appearances together their form figures are W/SF/RU/W. Very impressive.
Clayton fell out of form after the death of his father nearly two years ago, but he has got back to winning ways. He won the Dutch Darts Championship last month and PC14 ten days before that.
Gerwyn Price, on the other hand, has lost his knack of winning titles. He has won three players championship titles in 2025, so he hasn’t totally lost it, but his last ranking stage title was a Euro title in 2023. He has not lost his scoring power, however. His seasonal average is 98.16 and while his doubling on big points can let him down, he has the Ferret to help him out here.
Wales are now the 6.50 second favourites and Scotland 15.00. That is a decent price for Scotland and I wouldn’t put you off them if you fancy them, but the Welsh duo look the more dangerous pair and their recent record together is very good for each way backers.
2025 World Cup Of Darts Tip: 1 point e/w Wales to win the World Cup of Darts @ 6.50 with Livescorebet (1/2 the odds 1-2).
It is much harder to select one of the other teams that have to come through the group stage, and then into a random draw. You can pick a good team and just get unlucky with the draw, but on the other hand, you might get lucky.
My outsider selection has to be Germany. Odds of 34.00 for the home nation are attractive and they have two good players whose games are a good fit. Schindler can punch hard, while Pietreczko is the 19th highest ranked for checkout %, better than Luke Humphries and I believe he is still the best double 16 hitter in the game.
Pietreczko’s form has also picked up in recent weeks. If the two players can gel, and that is my biggest concern, they could do better than Germany’s previous highest finish of a couple of semi-finals.
2025 World Cup Of Darts Tip: 0.5 point e/w Germany to win the World Cup of Darts @ 34.00 with Boylesports (1/3 the odds 1-2)
I will not be covering this event match by match. We have a very busy weekend with this, the US Open golf and the Canadian GP. A true three screener of weekend and there are not enough hours in the day to cover everything, but hopefully there might be time for the odd match bet or two.
