Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
Lewis in great form on the doubles but only averaging 95.94.
Anderson looking super dodgy averaging 93.61 - albeit 11 180s and some good finishing.
Lewis looks like he could up his game - and now the favourite.
Hopefully Jenkins can close out his match (with a 100+ average) - Pipe playing well too.
Wasn"t overly impressed by Whitlock in the battle of the injured darts players - great average in his round 1 "time trial" but too short a match and no pressure.
Van Gerwen could take out Whitlock - but I cannot see either winning the championship.
Feels like Wade is getting a freeroll in his quarter!
Looks like Jenkins will need to dig deep - edgy.

AJDUK:
It"s all looking pretty exciting ATM.
Lloyd and Jenkins both played well IMO. I missed a bet on Lloyd, fell for the hype of Rand who I hadn"t heard much of plus I knew you had backed Rand. Agreed he seemed to clown around which was a surprise from someone who"s just turned pro. Bet his sponsors loved it. Not. The 167 crushed him though.
Good luck with your positions Louis. Don"t be too greedy though ;)
Honeybadg:
I think that I need to be greedy ... I need to hold on to Jenkins vs Lewis.
If Chisnall cannot beat Hamilton then I deserve nothing!
Rand - the 167 was the killer - I think he would have won from 2-2 - but Lloyd is the solid pro.
Rand going Pro - I didn"t buy into all the guff about how he shouldn"t have taken on the "arduous" trip to Hull to sign forms - but he had to turn up with his game head on. In the players Championship he averaged 98 for the tournament - he just needed to keep that going.
I would have laid him vs Anderson - but sadly didn"t have the chance.
Even when Lloyd was 2-1 up he was 4/5 to win - I could have escaped with light damage there.
My current position is :
Field -£318
Chisnall + £4910
Jenkins + £4913
I could take some profits - but what the hell - charge onwards.

Honeybadg:
Van Gerwen looks like a tremendous bet at 3.45 to beat Whitlock ... looks like a coin toss to me albeit Van Gerwen has a little to find on the averages.
Whitlock great in Round 1 against a weak opponent but made hard going to defeating Steve Beaton.
Annoyed that I didn"t bet the value shots Part and Huybrechts today - Huybrechts in particular was a value coin toss vs Nicholson.
Colin Lloyd might push Gary Anderson very close tonight too - but I suspect Gary might wake up just in time!
Tremendous tournament - laptop needs to come with me for some post dinner Sky-Go watching!

I think the favs will all win tonight, but I will have a small wager on Lloyd because I think that one is v close. I thought Part would beat Painter on past history and the Belgian would beat Nicholson on form so whilst my eye is in I will back a few of the apparant value bets. I can"t see Van Gerwin beating Whitlock though. No value there IMO.
