🎯The Grand Slam of Darts runs 8–16 November at WV Active Aldersley, Wolverhampton. Whether Littler dominates again or a new star breaks through, one thing’s certain: Beau Greaves is here to make headlines.
The Grand Slam of Darts returns to Wolverhampton this weekend, but it’s not just about the usual suspects. While Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, and Gerwyn Price dominate the outright odds, it’s 21-year-old Beau Greaves who’s catching headlines and shaking up the men’s game.
The Doncaster prodigy already owns multiple women’s world titles, yet she’s shown she can beat anyone, male or female. I
n October, she stunned Luke Littler 6-5 in the World Youth Championship semi-final, then did it again in a Modus exhibition weeks later, proving it was no fluke. Her averages and composure under pressure have made even seasoned pros take notice.
Greaves joins a strong Grand Slam field where the group-stage format often produces early shocks. It’s the sort of setup that rewards calm, rhythm players — exactly her style. The short-format groups mean one hot session can flip a favourite on their head.
🏆 Betting Angle
Darts bookmakers still price Greaves as an outsider, but history says the Grand Slam doesn’t always follow the script — only one of the last six favourites has gone on to lift the trophy.
With group-winner and qualifier markets available, her odds could offer sneaky value if she settles early.
At the top end, Luke Littler is 2/1 to defend his title, followed by Luke Humphries (5/1) and Gerwyn Price (8/1).
But there’s growing interest in Chris Dobey (25/1) after recent Pro Tour form — and if you’re looking for a narrative pick, Beau Greaves might just be the tournament’s biggest wildcard story.
