BETMGM PREMIER LEAGUE DARTS TIPS: 19/2 NIGHT 3 ACCA

The 2025 BetMGM Premier League Darts season heads across the Irish Sea to Dublin after Luke Littler’s incredible victory in Glasgow.

Our defending champion recovered from a 5-1 quarter-final deficit to defeat Rob Cross 6-5 before embarking on a brutal 6-2 dismissal of seven-time titlist Michael van Gerwen in the last four.

In the showpiece, Littler denied world number one Luke Humphries two nightly wins on the spin with a 6-5 deciding-leg triumph which included a huge 170 checkout.

Can the world champion double his pleasure with victory in Dublin? He is the 7/4 favourite but let’s take a closer look at the action in store at the 3Arena and break down our 19/2 Night 3 accumulator.

BetMGM Premier League Darts Night 3 Fixtures

Humphries, night winner in Dublin last season, gets proceedings underway for the first time this term when he takes on Stephen Bunting.

Cool Hand is 5/2 second favourite to repeat his success this time round although, should he get past Bunting, he could face the very task he found insurmountable last week: Luke Littler.

By winning in Glasgow, the Nuke picked up his first nightly win seven weeks earlier than the last campaign. By doing so, he fired a reminder to his BetMGM Premier League rivals – were one even required – that this is his title to lose.

The 18-year-old faces Gerwyn Price in the second quarter-final while, in the other half of the draw, Cross and Nathan Aspinall face off in a repeat of last season’s Dublin quarter-final and Van Gerwen takes on Chris Dobey.

Here is the full quarter-finals running order for Night 3:

19/2 BetMGM Premier League Darts Night 3 Acca

  • Over 4.5 180s in Humphries vs Bunting
  • Over 8.5 legs in Price vs Littler
  • Aspinall over 95.5 average vs Cross
  • Van Gerwen to win & hit most 180s vs Dobey

Leg 1 – Over 4.5 180s in Luke Humphries vs Stephen Bunting @ 33/100

Despite positive form coming into the new BetMGM Premier League season, fan favourite Bunting has so far made two quarter-final exits and failed to reach a 95 average in either match.

Next up: the small matter of a tungsten tussle with the world’s number one darts player.

The Bullet won his last meeting with Humphries – in the semi-finals en route to lifting the Bahrain Darts Masters title in January – and beat Cool Hand during his victorious Masters run last year too.

Overall, though, Humphries has won seven of their last nine meetings, comes into this one having made the final on both nights so far and, in Dublin, revisits a venue in which he hit 14 maximums and averaged over 104 in all three matches last season.

It does not help, either, that Bunting followed up his 6-1 defeat to Van Gerwen in Glasgow with a shock first-round exit to world number 79 Patrick Geeraets at Players Championship 3 in Rosmalen earlier this week.

Yet despite Bunting’s sliding form and Cool Hand’s recent dominance the difference between them in their head-to-heads has been razor thin: four of their last five meetings had at most one leg in it, including Humphries’ World Grand Prix last 32 win which finished 2-1 in sets but six apiece in legs.

Those five matches featured a total of 38 180s across 58 legs so, although Humphries to win the match at 2/5 is marginally more profitable odds, leg one of our acca instead plays it ever so slightly safer with over 4.5 match 180s at 33/100.

Leg 2 – Over 8.5 legs in Gerwyn Price vs Luke Littler @ 4/11

It’s not too often a top-eight player, a former world champion no less, enters a match with an opponent against whom he is on a four-match win streak as the 2/1 outsider.

Such is the case when that opponent is defending BetMGM Premier League champion Littler.

The 18-year-old can be got at – remember, Rob Cross was 5-1 to the good against him in last week’s opener – but it often requires the type of performance level that few are capable of sustaining even over the relatively short first-to-six-legs format.

The Nuke is unlikely to ‘beat himself’ with wasteful darts or poor finishing; upon exiting in the last eight against Van Gerwen on Night 1 Littler’s lowest losing average since becoming world champion stood at 105.12 across four defeats.

But one thing Price is capable of is a big performance. In his last meeting with the Nuke he averaged a gargantuan 115.31 in Bahrain while no Premier League player, except one, has recorded more 110+ averages than the Welshman over the last calendar year.

That one exception? Littler, naturally.

These two will go at it hammer and tong on the Dublin stage. Anything from multiple 100+ checkouts to nine-darters, the big fish and everything in between is in play when the pair of them hit top gear.

Backing over 8.5 legs at 4/11 keeps things relatively sensible – anything over a 6-3 win either way and it’s a winner – but if you prefer slightly better odds then Price to win with a +2.5-leg handicap at 4/7 might add a bit more spice to your combination.

While Littler is capable of blowing anyone away, this selection merely requires that Price keeps pace with the Nuke long enough – and he should.

Leg 3 – Nathan Aspinall over 95.5 average vs Rob Cross @ 10/11

Even in darts, where players face off regularly over the course of a year at floor events, majors and exhibitions, players can have bogey opponents.

For Cross, world number four and one of the most consistent arrowsmiths of the past six or seven years, that bogey opponent last season was Aspinall.

The Asp had an injury-plagued 2024 and only made it to the quarter-finals or further in one major – the Masters – while he picked up no Players Championship titles, nor any European Tour silverware either.

Cross, meanwhile, featured in six major last eights, won a European Tour title and made the final of another. And yet it was Aspinall who won all five BetMGM Premier League meetings between the pair last season

One of those victories, coincidentally, came in the quarter-finals of last season’s Dublin date when the Asp won 6-5 by denying a 101.66 Cross average and 55.5% checkout success with four 180s and a 101.4 average of his own.

Over those five BetMGM Premier League head-to-heads with Cross last season Aspinall hit five 100+ checkouts and 15 180s while he has not averaged less than 95 against Voltage since 2021.

While the Asp remains pointless after the opening two nights this term his three-dart average has held up well enough with a 95.73 against Humphries on Night 1 and 96.25 when losing to Price in Glasgow.

Expect that to hold true against the man he tormented a handful of times last term with Aspinall to average over 95.5 against Cross at 10/11.

Leg 4 – Michael van Gerwen to win & hit most 180s vs Chris Dobey @ 43/20

Exactly a year ago to the day from this Night 3 quarter-final, Dobey walloped Van Gerwen 6-0 in a Players Championship match in Leicester.

Darting deja vu in Dublin will net you 70/1 for the 6-0 Dobey correct score but that is not where we are headed with the final leg of our Night 3 acca.

Instead the basis for leg four can be found much more recently, starting with the World Championship in January and Van Gerwen’s 6-1 demolition of Hollywood in the semi-finals.

That was in sets, which makes it even more remarkable, and was MVG’s second 6-1 win over the Newcastle thrower in a row following a European Tour meeting last year.

Dobey, it must be said, is a bit of a machine in Players Championship events and showed his ability once again in midweek by winning his fourth such title in under a year in the Netherlands.

He is not an easy nut to crack – but this is Van Gerwen and this is the BetMGM Premier League.

The seven-time winner has won 11 and lost just two of the 13 Premier League matches he has played in Dublin and nobody has hit more 180s through the first two nights than the Dutchman despite the fact he has not made the final on either occasion.

Van Gerwen to win and hit the most 180s at 43/20 runs the anchor leg of our Night 3 accumulator, bringing the four-fold up to a neat 19/2.

Night 3 Odds, BetMGM Specials & Darting Deja Vu

It is a familiar refrain but Littler and Humphries head up the Night 3 winner betting at 7/4 and 5/2 respectively.

The duo are in the same half of the draw this week though and thus would meet at the semi-final stage, meaning one of Van Gerwen, Dobey, Aspinall or Cross will be in the showpiece and could be worth considering at longer odds or each way.

Meanwhile, a quarter-final winners acca featuring Humphries, Littler, Aspinall and Van Gerwen comes in at a tasty 6/1 with BetMGM Specials. And remember: with our 3Up promotion if your player goes three legs ahead at any point in the match, we call that a winner!

Full Night 3 winner odds are below:

Messrs Dobey and Littler reeled in the big fish on Nights 1 and 2 respectively to ensure the 2025 BetMGM Premier League got off to a suitably show-stopping start.

Notably, there has never been a 170 checkout hit during the Dublin leg of the Premier League in any format – it’s 7/4 for that to change in 2025 as this year’s cohort look to start the campaign with a hat-trick of them.

The last time a 154 out or higher was even hit in Dublin was when Simon Whitlock smashed in a 160 back in 2018. With our over/under threshold set at 153.5 for Night 3, you can get 4/5 for that particular wait to end at the 3Arena.

No competition has featured more nine-dart finishes than the Premier League and it’s 7/1 for the first of this year’s competition to be hit in Dublin. With BetMGM awarding any player who hits a nine-darter this season with a custom-made set of solid gold darts worth £30,000, there is an added incentive on offer for achieving perfection.

Markets such as total evening 180s, over/under legs, King of the Oche and player season specials are all available throughout this year’s BetMGM Premier League, with a wide selection also on offer in-play.

Be sure to keep an eye on the BetMGM Premier League Darts Hub as well as our social media channels throughout Night 3 for all the latest from Dublin.
