Starts today - draw seems to be very top heavy with Taylor, Anderson, Barney et al
Therefore concentrating on the bottom half and hoping to find an EW bet to meet Taylor (or Anderson) in the final
I like Wes Newton at 33/1 & Mark Walsh at 66/1
Don"t think Lewis will do that well and he will be under a lot of pressure as defending champion

If you are backing get on to Betfair.
Wes Newton 43/1 or to win their quarter of the draw 5.4/1
Mark Walsh 189/1 or to win their quarter of the draw 14/1
Maybe Mark good value at that price - but I expect The Power will be very hard to stop based on the last final versus Gary Anderson.
I will take a dart at Anderson at 17/2 - but Lewis at 9/1 looks decent to me too - one of the few people who could win a gun fight versus The Power.
Good luck.

I have had a pound or two on Simon Whitlock....
-
Whitlock starting in great fashion ... top average ... top bet.
I think the event is fairly open with a lot of guys scoring in the high 90s ...
I have taken a punt on Scott Rand at 69/1 cancelling my Gary Anderson bet at a micro loss.
Rand averaging 99 last week to beat Wade 9-5, should have beaten Painter, can he strip fitter??
In a tough quarter but seems good value.

Terry Jenkins wins set one vs Co Stompe in 37 darts ... unreal ... 37/1 for the title ... looks a like a good back to lay opportunity for the Serial finalist in majors ...
-
One set later Terry Jenkins into 24/1 ... gobble gobble ...
-
Bull finish for the "Bull"
-
Super weird game in the end with Jenkins coming down to Stompe"s level to destroy his average.
Fancy Burnett to beat John Part at 4/5 on Betfair.
Also fancy Chisnall to run Talyor very close tonight - just below 7/1 to spring the surprise.
Could take Chisnall +2.5 sets at 11/8 - seems okay.
Tournament feels more open than Phil Taylor at Even money.
-
Chisnall holds his nerve in the first set ... still 4/1 to win the match ...
I elected to punt him for the tournament so very much game on ...
-
Crazy night ... Chisnall good ... Taylor averaging 100 and losing 1-4.
Been a few seasons since Taylor missed so many double tops, also a lot of floaty darts at the treble 20, yet brilliant on the treble 19.
I thought the crowd were super weird - hardly watching the game - rather chanting at each other.
Fancy Chisnall to get to the Semi Finals now.
Big night tomorrow with my other outsider Scott Rand vs Colin Lloyd which would set up a last 16 match with Gary Anderson - might be a good round to play him in??
Game on.

Backed Chisnall at 7"s. Only bet I"ve placed so far but was too good to miss at those odds - value even if he got beat.
Pretty open now. It"s Lewis or Whitlock for me. Anderson fav but I think he"ll bottle it somewhere down the line.
I thought Bristow was pretty mean to Jenkins after he won, I"d love Bully to stuff it down his throat.
-
Jenkins could go far - I have big positive positions on Rand/Chisnall/Jenkins which could all be closed for profit.
Total agree - very open.
It wouldn"t surprise me if we got to a Lewis vs Anderson final though.
I cannot see Whitlock winning it though - maybe if he was fit.
Lewis needs to find 5/10 points on his average - but it might well do that tonight!
Currently have a nice freeroll on Beaton who got to 50/1 in running vs Whitlock.

Jenkins looking good ...
Very noticable how the crowd now appears to have a complete disregard to the darts being played.
Everyman and his dog dressed up in fancy dress (a good thing) singing "stand up if you love the darts"
Booing and jeering randomly - pretty weak.
Hopefully Jenkins can close this out with a big average.
Championship there for the taking - big wins on Chisnall and Jenkins - annoyed about losing Rand from my fleet of outsiders.

Agreed, this is tilting me so hard.
I"d go and watch more live sport if the crowd wasn"t largely populated by brain dead retards. The British boxing lot for the Froch fight were the same, football crowds the same as the darts. They"re even invading the rugby (though my sample size of one is just the recent Quins-Sarries game at Twickers).
Hopefully the Olympics will do ok...

Agreed. A good quarter of the crowd had their backs turned and were focusing on something or someone else for most of the evenings play. The afternoon session was similar at times. Good atmosphere but wouldn"t want to be there focusing on the darts lol.

I noticed that last night during Jenkins match... Loads of booing from the crowd who were facing the opposite way. Whatever was happening at the back of the hall was more interesting to the crowd than the darts.
Simon Whitlock still going strong for my medium sized each way @ 34-1.... :)
-
Go to fancy Van Gerwen as a value shot to beat Whitlock tonight - a little to find on the averages but ousting King 4-1 was supreme ...
Lloyd big value too vs the miss-firing Anderson - but I think I will give that one a miss - I suspect Anderson will wake up at some point soon.
Hopefully for my bets - Chisnall can do a solid job on Hamilton tonight - could be close too ...
Great darts - looks like I will miss the Van Gerwen game whilst at dinner - Sky-Go to the rescue once we clear the deserts!

Looks like we are head on tonight - I thought Whitlock was a great bet but I will be laying it now if I had the scope to.
Whitlock at 6/1 is scary short for me.
But good luck.

Come on Whitlock
Each way bet still running and it will be tough against "The Hammer" who is throwing excellent darts.
Just put a few quid on "The Hammer" just in case...
Small profit if Whitlock gets beat, bigger profit if he makes the final, even bigger if he wins..
LETS PLAY DARTS.....

Can"t believe no-one has posted on this for over 24 hours - The 2 best semi-finals ever?
I have been without a TV since Nov 1st due to renovating the house and last night was the first time I genuinely missed it. I watched the first semi round my Mum"s house (my stepdad is a big darts fan) and that was fantastic. We agreed at the time that while either player deserved the win, only Whitlock had the game to win in the final. I am please for Hamilton though, a very good, hard-working pro who deserves the payday if nothing else. I think it will take Lewis playing badly for Hamilton to win but he surprised me a few times last night so maybe he will again.
For the 2nd match I was frustratingly trying to follow at home on my iPhone (no Broadband either) by deciphering others" Tweets & FB updates including; "TILT", "Noooooooooo", "FFS Wade" and most insightfully "**** off is that Lewis"s lass"
For me the game tonight will be too long for Hamilton to win - 7-2 Lewis (It is to 7 right?)
I agree with the points on the crowd BUT this is ultimately where the drastically increased prize-pools are coming from (I have some direct experience relating to this which I"ll write about in the blog section if you are interested)

Yes - Interested.
I think the crowds have been exceptionally disrespectful this year - as the party crowd invade the darts - as it is the best party in town.
Hamilton could win it - Lewis very up and down : Getting tempted to have an interest!
Hamilton 3.3
Lewis 1.43
Odds feel about right - Lewis" hot spells are pretty awesome - but some real dross on show too.
Pondering.
-
I took Hamilton at 8.5 when the semis were confirmed. Seemed generous, as does 3.4 now.
Though I might cash in if he takes the first set :)
-
Ended up with a small profit... Could not believe it when he was 5-3 up and couldn"t finish "The Hammer" off... :(
-
Pretty disappointing final, in quality and result.
Now to Lakeside - "Fred, you require... 2".
