''The bookies don't know me,'' Michael van Gerwen smirked at the press conference after winning the Premier League Darts. At his next tournament, the bookmakers have again failed to rank 'Mighty Mike' as a favourite.

Thus, the tournament sponsor has picked Gerwyn Price as the top favourite for the overall win. They have given him odds of 11/4.
Van Gerwen is the Welshman's biggest challenger according to the bookies. They have attached odds of 7/2 to the Dutchman.
Right behind Van Gerwen, world champion and defending champion Michael Smith is entered as the third favourite. He ranked at 4/1.
Dimitri van den Bergh (14/1) is rated lowest of the eight PDC players. That is still considerably higher than the highest rated player of the North American representation. Of these eight players, Matt Campbell (66/1) is rated the most likely.
