1983 World Darts Champion Keith Deller MBE has assembled a 31/4 Bet Builder for the World Series of Darts Finals first round contest between Luke Humphries and Jermaine Wattimena.
The World Series of Darts Finals will see 32 of the sport's best take to the oche in Amsterdam, concluding a seven-event campaign that has taken place across the globe.
Michael van Gerwen pocketed £80,000 when defeating Luke Littler 11-7 in the final last year, and an increased £100,000 will be granted to the winner in Netherlands this time around.
The tournament commences with 16 first round contests, and Deller has shared his tips for Humphries' opener against Wattimena.

- 2+ 100+ Checkouts
Pays 31/4
Wattimena heads into the World Series of Darts Finals ranked 17th in the world after a productive six to eight months, but he'll be the first to admit that a first round clash against Humphries is far from ideal.
These two have enjoyed some competitive matchups over the years, but Cool Hand has ultimately prevailed, winning eight times in 14 contests against the Dutchman.
Humphries has already defeated Wattimena twice in 2026, and I've backed him to emerge victorious once again in a tie that should surpass 8.5 legs.
Adding to my Bet Builder, I've backed the world number two to record the most 180s in Amsterdam. Humphries rarely has any trouble finding the treble 20, and he'll be desperate to make an emphatic start after losing to Luke Littler in the Czech Darts Open final last time out.
To conclude my selections, I've selected 2+ 100+ checkouts. We all know how prolific Cool Hand is from the oche, and Wattimena's daring and fast-paced throwing gives this one a good chance.
