July, sees the 2009 World Matchplay Darts competition roll into Blackpool (from Sunday 19th July to Sunday 26th July) and if your wondering just how popular darts has become then consider all tickets were sold out within 3 days of going on sale. The PDC (Professional Darts Corporation) has formed the Matchplay into such a successful event it is now the 2nd largest Darts event in the World.

48-year-old, Phil Taylor, is early favourite despite losing his Premier League crown last month. Taylor recently truimphed over Raymond van Barneveld in the Las Vegas Desert Classic pocketing a £30,000 cheque for his efforts. For Matchplay darts betting fans it will probably be a likely tussle of Taylor vs Barneveld once again for the Matchplay 2009 crown, if the draw keeps them apart till the Final.

Below is the current bookies betting odds for the World Matchplay 2009 32 qualifiers…
