The reasoning

Ross Smith is already a European Champion. In the 2022 final he beat Michael Smith 11–8, averaged 101.32, hit eight 180s and finished at 50%. A proper performance under pressure.

Four years is a long time, but the more relevant point is he’s secured the top seeding for this year’s event, leading the European Tour rankings with £153,000 after 14 tournaments. His wins at the International Darts Open and Hungarian Darts Trophy give us current-season evidence alongside the tournament history.

If the market concentrates heavily on the usual names and leaves Smith at 20/1 or bigger, with half-the-odds two places, he’s worth a closer look.

Verdict

Each-way value play. Half odds, two places is the minimum acceptable term.

Where this bet goes wrong

Top seed does not mean easy draw. Reassess if he's in a loaded quarter.
