Someone will win £4,895 tonight if Luke Littler wins darts final after placing ridiculous bet

The returns on a £10 bet would be absolutely amazing

All eyes will be on Luke Littler tonight as the 16-year-old darts wonderkid goes into the final of the World Darts Championship.

He's had a frankly stupendous tournament to announce himself to the world and it's very hard not to get swept up in the excitement of his runaway success.

To place our collective feet firmly back on the ground for a moment, Littler has done incredibly well to make it through to the final at the Alexandra Palace, but he still has to get past a fellow Luke to win the whole thing.

Luke Humphries became the new world number one after defeating Scott Williams 6-0 in his own semi-final last night (2 January), so he'll be no pushover for Littler.

Still, you don't get to be the youngest ever finalist in the World Darts Championship without having considerable talent, so Littler will fancy his chances to take that final step.

Being a darts prodigy also comes with some decent financial benefits, as Littler has already bagged a prize purse of £200,000 for making it into the final.

If he wants to earn even more money than he'll have to go on and win the whole thing, which will see his earnings jump up to a tidy £500,000.

He's not the only person who'll be in the money if he wins, as some lucky souls put a bet on him to win back when the odds on him were incredibly long and they'll be crossing everything hoping he wins tonight (3 January).

Back when he started, Littler had odds of 300/1 of making it all the way to the final and winning, so someone sticking a tenner on him at the start would be in line for a £3,000 payout.

One particularly hopeful punter will get even more than that if Littler wins, as they bet on his victory in the World Darts Championship but didn't stop there.

Whoever placed this £10 bet will be begging for a Luke Littler win tonight.

They also bet on three-time PDC world champion Michael van Gerwen to win the Premier League, with odds of 6/4, and since that came in their £10 bet will turn into £4,895 if Littler wins.

Of course, if world number one Luke Humphries wins then that bet isn't coming in and you'd imagine that their disappointment would be immeasurable and their day ruined.

Luckily for the punter, Littler is putting everything into his preparation for the final - he's had a ham and cheese omelette this morning and has a pizza lined up later on.

When he started this tournament he was ranked 164th in the world... just look how far he's come since then!
