BETTING

This will all be william hill. They are title sponsors and that.

9/1 - Taylor champion. On the BBC thing in September nobody got anywhere near him, including MvG whom he beat twice. Taylor skipped the last TV ranking event to optimise his preparation for this. Private life settled, rested, fresh as a sexpest daisy. Think BBC. If that Taylor turns up, he wins #17. He can fluster MvG and have the world champ giggling again.

His draw largely accounts for his odds I think. He'll probably need to beat Barney, Lewis and MvG just to reach the final. He is still good enough to brush aside the best, one after another.

For what it's worth, I think we'll get down to a repeat of the 2015 final, this time with Taylor beating Anderson 7-3 or 7-4. I will be putting something on that 9/1. I think he's roughly of the opinion that this is his very best chance of ever winning it again. He's 56, you know. Don't think anybody else has title odds worth looking at.

Is that a 'lump on with lash' tip RM?

Nothing so iconic 9/1 though! Spunk with monk or something err.

Orrr...


Michael van Gerwen vs The Field - The Field is EVENS. That's very effectively a bet on the combined powers of Taylor, Anderson and Lewis, who have 20 world titles between them, including 7 of the last 8, to win a world title, plus Barney, Wright, Wade and all the rest. Double your money. That's incredible. MvG is greatness but nothing justifies those odds.

9/2 - 2nd Quarter of the draw to produce the champion - Taylor, Lewis and Barney are all in the 2nd quarter. 23 world titles between them. Better off backing Taylor alone probably.

11/10 - Zero 9-dart finishes. For novelty plumping you could do worse. There's only been one live on TV all season, I believe. Also zero on the streamed events. No-cunt can hit Double 12 for it. Wright is so convinced he can't that he's started going T15 D18 to wrap it up. Defeated by the dartboard. Attitude. Cunt.

[Rainbowmonkey]

World Youth Champ Aussie Corey Cadby is a possible sensation, and unfortunately nay surprisingly the bookies are onto him. He's fucking 1/12 to beat Sun Qiang in the Prelims, Best of 3 sets. Could be worth looking at an exact score bet, if you can find odds on Cadb-o winning 2-0. It's bound to happen.

Assuming he does win, he'll play Joe Cullen on Monday night. Cullen is better on the floor than on TV. Cadby is a big stage cunt already and will massively fancy that, especially having warmed up with a match on stage already on the night. The odds aren't up yet obviously but Cadby to beat Cullen will be worth a look. Cullen will presumably be favourite. He has never won a match at Ally Pally, 6/6 losses or something.

[Rainbowmonkey]

Could be RM's top tip this one, not glamorous odds admittedly but it looks safe...

11/10 on Wright to win the 4th quarter, that is to reach the semis. By far the weakest quarter of the draw - Wright and Wade are the big uns in that, followed by Michael Smith and Ian White, then Gerwyn Price and Mervyn King. Smith and White are good, but neither are in form that could trouble Wright. Price and King are in okay form but not in Wright's league at present.

Wright's high quality consistency is very unusual. He is genuine class and if he just brings his game, that quarter should be his and relatively comfortably. He doesn't do off-nights and he is a former finalist here.

Even money the field! Mental price really

I've just taken the 9s on offer for PTP. Only a fiver, but its VALUE

The trickling inevitability horrors of Taylor closing in on another world title makes having money on that 9/1 a form of bloody therapy as much as anything. I won't stretch to a fiver though, maybe 90p. my lumps are small.

Yeah Evens on the field is tempting too. Hmmm.

1/12 to win the tie means you're never going to get odds against for a 2-0...might appeal to some though

Nice one sammy, 3/10... Sun Qiang played in the Prelims last year. He was atrocious.

(74.19) Mick McGowan 2-0 Sun Qiang (64.73)

I have grave doubts that this was merely an off-night. A lob-and-hope charismatic novelty type and no chance is he taking a whole set off Cadby. I'm sure there are some who will pile into that 3/10.

[Rainbowmonkey]

Last one for now, more grim odds but if you think it'll happen y'know...


5/6 - Gary Anderson to win the 3rd quarter. It's a soft quarter. Only Chizzy and Klaasen can realistically stop him. If you remember Ando going through Klaasen 6-0 in the semis with a 9-darter last time, you'll get an idea. Forget everything you've seen all year - he is a world championship specialist.

Backing him to reach the semis is like-buying-money. I think 7/4 to reach the final isn't far off. On course to play Wright in the semis... not a chance in hell he'd let Wright finish his reign at Ally Pally over 11 sets. I'll be surprised - very - if Anderson doesn't get to the final. He doesn't need to beat MvG, Taylor, Barney or Lewis to do it.
