Las Vegas Desert Classic - Bodog Odds for Darts


The Las Vegas Desert Classic is an annual darts tournament held in July since 2002. The original venue was the MGM Grand, but the event has since relocated to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
Organized by the Professional Darts Corporation, this is one of the biggest events in the sport of darts. The total prize purse is a hefty $250,000, and the matches are played in the morning so that they can be broadcast live in prime-time back in the UK.

The event officially started on July 2nd and will run until July 8th (with televised coverage starting on July 4th on Sky Sports).

So who will walk away as the big winner? Will it be Phil Taylor, the man who won the event in 2002, 2004 and 2005? Or how about defending champ John Part? Or maybe one of the field of other hungry dart pros?

Luckily, Bodog has made things simple by providing a betting line for this upcoming event. There are no parlays, and the maximum bet on who will win the event is $300.
