All eyes are on Dublin from Monday 8th October as the World Grand Prix of darts gets underway, with Paddy Power announcing a new free bets offer on all the action from the Citywest Hotel, as Phil Taylor once again leads the list of contenders for victory.
Each year, this PDC darts tournament takes place in October. As ever, the Citywest Hotel will be rocking with passionate darts fans, ready to see some world-class action.
With very short opening rounds, there is no time for the best players to rest on their laurels as anyone can beat anyone. If you want to progress in this tournament, you need to be on your game from the very start.
Grand Prix Darts Offer : Paddy Power Free Bet

Unsurprisingly, this tournament has been dominated by Phil Taylor over the last 13 years and his price of 9/4 with Paddy Power to win again is sure to attract plenty of attention from punters.
The Power has only failed to win four times since 1998 and last year he secured the title with a final victory over Northern Ireland’s Brendan Dolan.
Taylor is in determined mood to retain this title too. Fresh from a last eight exit in the European Championships recently, people have started to question his form and indeed whether he has lost his touch.
This has happened on many occasions before though and Taylor has bounced back with a positive display. Write him off at your peril because this man is the best darts player the world has ever seen and isn’t done yet.
This isn’t to say he will come away from Dublin with the title though. There are some more than capable contenders to his crown, including Adrian Lewis, Simon Whitlock and many more.
Lewis looks to be the value at 9/1, while those seeking further value could do worse than backing James Wade at 14/1, while Australian Simon Whitlock can also be backed at the same odds with Paddy Power.
The majority of focus will be on Taylor to begin with as he takes on highly-rated youngster Michael Smith in the first round. This is a cracking match to kickstart what should be a week to remember for World Grand Prix darts.
