The World Indoor Bowls Championships is considered to be one of the most prestigious Bowls tournaments in the world according to the odds bowl games. Having began in 1979, the first event was held at Coatbridge in Scotland. The first event only featured the men’s singles, while the women’s singles was not introduced until 1988 – just two years after the introduction of the men's pairs. The mixed pairs came about only in 2004, and it has been a prominent feature in the bowl game odds.

Key Info

Even though the English dominated the event in its first years after managing to win the opening three, Scotland have since dominated the event with 19 titles and nine different winners. England comes a close second with seven winners contributing to 13 titles. Both nations have had 11 runners-up each.

Favourites

In terms of the women’s event, bowls betting favourites, Scotland, started out more successfully with four winners in the first seven years. In recent years, however, the English have dominated this event, as Scotland have managed just one win since 2002.

Alex Marshall is often favoured when it comes to bowl odds and he has been the most successful player in the competition after having won the title six times. He finished aș a runner-up only once, and his most recent title came in 2015. However, he was overthrown by Nick Brett in the last edition. The 2016 edition was immensely successful for the English in the singles events, as Ellen Falkner won the women’s title. In terms of the pairs event, though, Scotland is rightly backed as the favourite in the latest betting tips after having had more success with Stewart Anderson and Darren Burnett winning the men's pairs, and Darren Burnett and Katherine Rednall winning the mixed pairs.
