Another superb days darts, Shepherd got out of jail again and Mardle made one of the greatest comebacks ever to beat Taylor but for sheer efficiency Painter and Part looked so calm.
Mardle v Shepherd should be a good win for Mardle but again like Manley I feel he is the type to under estimate the young lad so it could well be tight. The Part v Painter game looks as evenly matched as you could find and I still think the winner will come from whoever wins this match with maybe Part as a previous world champion having the edge.
Either way its gonna be great again.

Ive been betting these matches in running today and feel like I have not been to sleep for about 3 days, how draining were they to watch? I thought both Barney and Taylor looked out of sorts again, maybe this is a good year someone else to win, I have liked the way Painter has played so I might be with him against Barney but he will prob have to beat Lewis if he does beat Barney so its tough to be confident.
The draw has opened up nicely for Taylor if he can beat Mardle tho he has been struggling to beat lesser ranked players but Mardle has got a shocking record against Taylor.
For a nice bet I am gonna back Part at around 23 on Betfair, he plays his game last 2morrow night so when he starts 5 more players will have been knocked out, these will include either Barney or Painter as they play each other and maybe one or two other fancied players, either way with 5 players out of the mnarket you will be able to lay the bet back before he plays to lock in a profit or get yourself a free bet.
Anyone got any fancies?
To be honest it couldnt have gone any better for the Part bet, with a free bet to win £432 I have laid it back now at 3.25 to give me a winner of £132 whoever wins which is nice given it was almost risk free. I think Part will win but his semi is so tight to call I'm happy to take the profit. |

1.08, this will be my sickest sports betting beat.
I did my bollocks on Taylor as well. Backed him at 1.34 before the off, could have got out at 1.04 at 3-0 but thought I'd be throwing money away LOL. Mardle will bounce in the semi and lose to Shepherd. I fancy Painter to beat Part and then beat the kid in the final. |

I'm guessing the layer of Shepherd at 999/1 (£40 traded on Betfair) to win the tournament will be getting a little twitchy  |

Shepherd is on fire! I guess the 999/1 isn't available any more...  |

He had a chance to win it. Mardle's still in and fighting.

He is far from the most talented player in the world but he has loads and loads of bottle. If Part isn't on his game tomorrow then Shepherd could be the champ as he won't be scared to win.

What a story, a sheet metal worker that was 999/1 on Betfair b4 the comp and now in the final against a 2 time world champion and playing just as well as him. Surely he cant do it again can he?
Looks like being about 2/5 Part 7/4 Shepherd so the 999/1 layer is not in a good spot now unless he has taken some evasive action already.
As a viewing sport I cant think of one better.

His opponents have also had a combined total of 13darts to knock him out the tournament. I wasn't surprised to see him beat Mardle today as Mardle played his final last night against Taylor. |

He even put his darts away in the game against Terry Jenkins who then missed loads of match darts but to dodge 13 darts that would knock you out of the comp is unheard at this level isnt it? Im old enough to remember Keith Deller winning it in 1983 too and this would be an even bigger upset than that was. I hope they show the end og that game in the final coverage on Tuesday, when Bristow turned down the bull coz Deller was on about 140 and Deller knocked it out to win was one of the great sporting moments of my childhood. |
