SENTOSA, Singapore – We’re less than a week away from the 2024 World Chess Championship between Champion Ding Liren and Challenger Gukesh Dommaraju. BetOnline Sportsbook offers legal sports betting odds for the most important event of the year.

Betting odds favor the youngest Challenger in chess history, Gukesh Dommaraju, to further prove his prodigy with a win at -300 odds. The win would make him by far the youngest chess player to ever claim the title as classical world champion.

2024 FIDE World Championship Odds

Ding Liren +200
Dommaraju Gukesh -300

Champion Ding Liren earned his spot as the next world champion after Magnus Carlsen chose not to defend his 2023 World Championship title. Interestingly, Carlsen believes that Gukesh has a “significant advantage” over Ding, giving bettors confidence in Gukesh’s favored -300 odds.

Best Chess Player In The World Backs Gukesh Vs Ding

Gukesh Dommaraju impressed with 10 unbeaten games (eight wins, two draws) at the Chess Olympiad before showing some vulnerability with his loss at the European Club Cup. Still, No. 1 ranked player in the world, Magnus Carlsen, predicts Gukesh will win against Ding Liren and become the 18th world chess champion.

“Gukesh has been quite vulnerable in some games. At the Olympiad he was, well, not vulnerable. He was dominant,” Carlsen said in an interview and then added that “Obviously, Gukesh is a significant favorite. This is one of those matches where if Gukesh strikes first, he will win the match without any trouble. But the longer it goes without a first decisive game, the better it is for Ding. He has the ability. But he doesn’t have the confidence. Anything that can potentially give him that confidence could help him win that match.”

Bettors that share similar confidence in the 18-year-old prodigy can bet his -300 odds at India sports betting sites with chess odds like BetOnline. BetOnline legally offers betting odds for the chess world championship, along with cricket and other sports.
