Stephen Bunting darts betting offer: Get 50-1 on the Bullet to beat Hurrell

There are few players in darts who are more popular than Stephen Bunting, and the Bullet returns to the Alexandra Palace stage on Saturday evening to take on James Hurrell for a place in the last 16 of the World Darts Championship.

Bunting survived an almighty scare in his Ally Pally opener against Sebastian Bialecki, but he was in cruise control against Nitin Kumar in round two, averaging 94.11 and dropping two legs to book his place in the post-Christmas rounds.

Expect Bunting to raise his game further for this third-round clash with James Hurrell, who was fortunate to bump into an out-of-sorts Dirk van Duijvenbode in the second round.

Sky Bet make the Bullet just 1-5 to advance from Saturday's contest, so there's plenty of value in their 50-1 new-customer offer.
