Premier League Darts

On Betfred they have a combined Ave market, 9/10 on U/O 766.5, thats just under 96 per player...  Havent checked stats but are the aves that high, would have guessed at 92-94...

Surprised Whitlock has the lowest average

[Nico29]

Whitlock started the prem league quite badly imo, and i wldnt read 2 much into his average tbh.

[Nico29]

Not saying i'm an expert but i watch it every week and feel i have some idea of who is playing well right now.

For the past few weeks i've been blindly backing in any baxter matcher the over line in the high checkout market.

It's always around the 120 mark, and last week was the first time in weeks the bet lost. As ronnie looked flat last week im leaving that angle until given reason.

Thus i've been searching for a new angle for tmrws games, and i feel i may have got a couple of ok bets:

In recent weeks terry jenkins has been truely awful, from his body language alone you can really see how all over the place he is. In contrast lewis has been a breath of fresh air.

His scoring has been strong and bar against taylor, his fighting spirit has been superb, edging barney and wade in close games.

Obviously this is reflected in the match prices, yet if anything i don't think they have made lewis short enough. Problem is 8/15 is normally a price purely for mug punters or big hitters, nevertheless it is value imo with some bookies more realistic making him a 4/11 chance.

Still just to eek out a bit of extra price value, i've instead gone for boyles generous ofer of Lewis -2.5@4/6.

This just means he needs to win 8-5 or better, basically one more leg than the minimum he would need to win, personally i'd expect him to beat bully 8-3, 8-4, his pure scoring power should blow jenkins away, and even on a bad day i doubt jenkins could capitalise anyway.

My second fancy is in the wadey taylor match. James played brilliantly last week, totally out of synch with his recent form. However, doing that week in week out is what taylor specialises in. I feel the books have overreacted to one week's game and as phil beat him 8-2 last time they met, i feel the same bet as in the lewis match is the value (also with boyles), Taylor -2.5@4/6

Finally, and with possibly the true value bet of the night. Whitlock is playing the badly out of form barney. The guy just looks a diff animal compared to a year or too back, perhaps everything isn't going well in his mind/life right now-i dunno im speculating, he just doesn't seem the old barney. In contrast the aussie is improving every week, he is eventually getting to grips with the prem league, yet he's still underdog in this when he should be fav. The bet is with skybet who appear badly out of line with their price. The aussie even won a floor event this last weekend, so his confidence will be high.

Simon whitlock DNB@ evens.

In other non related betting news, the walk on girls last week were very poor, bring back the previous ones please!

Phew simon jjjjjjjjjjjust got me out of it there. Lewis played ok but jenkins played like a man inspired. His body language was hugely diff from the first moment, and his doubling was much better.

Wade played unbelievable stuff and really should have beaten taylor. Hated how patronising phil was in his post match interview, 'you shouldn't say you should/could have won...you didn't...big difference that'. Can't wait till some1 takes his crown full time, he really is OTT and a complete ego maniac-and obv he's cost me tonight!

Whitlock started off like a man on fire and was 6-1 up b4 being pegged back to 7-6. Then barney had 2 shots at a double and thankfully missed allowing simon to nail the 1 dart he had at the match in the final leg.

Breaking even isn't great, but nice sweat all round.

Oh and they brought the original walk on girls back, wiiii.

I'm looking to have a few punt this week as I have had a good weekend on betfair.

I'll finalise my pick's tomorrow and post up early doors.

Ok had a look and this is what I like tonight:

1. Wade to beat Whitlock @ 2.26 - Wade has hit some fantastic form at the right time, and he is destroying the Treble 20's just now hitting 7 And 6 Max's two weeks on the trot, including a 7-7 draw with a Taylor just recently. Wade had a slight hic-up last week when he had 5 darts for the match, but the crowd were terrible towards him and basically cost him the game. He won't let that happen this week. Wade only winner tonight.

2. Barnie to beat King @ 2.58 - Not a lot of people will like this bet given Barnie's form this season, but since they caught the group that were blackmailing him he has shown the old barnie ain't that far away. King has already qualified and he is always dodgy with most crowds turning on him and his attitude. This is a gamble for me, but at 2.58 i like the risk.

3. Barnie v King match over 6.5 180s @ 1.91(you should get about 1.96 or 1.97 before the match starts) - as I said above Barnie looks like he is coming back to his old self, hitting a few 180s last week including that sweet sweet 9-Darter! Even when he was playing terrible he still managed a couple of 180s. King has proved many times he can throw arrow's with the best of them, and is no stranger to the Treble 20 bedn(this is why bet 2 is a gamble.)

These are my thoughts on the matches tonight, go with me or oppose me?

***Scottish Dave in half decent attempt at justification shocker***

[mondatoo]

2 out of 3 tonight, not bad with the 2.58 shot being one of them

Barnie was class, King has just lost the plot with the fans !!

[AndrewT]

ZOMG - Phil Taylor has just thrown 2 nine-darters in the past half an hour.

[Pelham Boy]

Anybody watching? Taylor has just got his 2nd 9 darter of the match.
