everybody would be banned. haha.
I'll be taking Anderson tonight. I am going to look at more elaborate bets in terms of finishes and 180s but for now it's a simple bet on Anderson. He has more experience here and I think Price will feel it when we get to the final few sets.
5pts G.Anderson to beat G.Price 11/10 bet365

A bit of good fortune to start the New Year's fixed odds betting with 3 winners from 10 bets (Kane and Son assists at 13/5 each and 25/1 for the Saiss headed goal). The bet on Gross was void as he didn't feature; not sure how I managed to back him as the line ups had been announced when I placed the bets!

Garcia Vs Campbell tonight and I think it's worth siding with the guy from the UK. We often see mass talk of up and coming boxers and how great they are but this is a big test for Garcia in my eyes and I think the value on Campbell looks good.

Thanks Gooner for letting me know about the mistake. 

Semi-finals tonight. Chizzy Vs Anderson and Bunting taking on Price.
I'm going Price and Chizzy tonight. I've just been waiting for the obligatory Chizzy bottle to go but he has now had two world class performances and if he performs to a 100 average then I think he wins this one. He's going to hit the most 180s tonight and so I'll take him to win and hit the most 180s. In the other match, Bunting should push Price tonight. I was tempting to go with the handicap on Bunting but I'm going to take a punt on him coming through.
I think it's worth taking the 9/1 on bunting to outscore price but lose too. The 6/1 on offer for the double looks big if both perform to their capability but ofcourse we don't know if that's going to happen
3pts Bunting and Chisnall to both win 6/1 paddypower
3pts Chizzy to win and most 180s evens paddypower
2pts Bunting most 180s and highest checkout and LOSE match 9/1 paddypower
 

1st and 3rd .....86pts returned ...I'll recoup my stake 20pts so that's 2x 33pt bets next weekend ....off to a good start 

Always a risk you can follow some things over a cliff but I'm going to keep the faith a while longer!
Spurs v Leeds: 20 points each on a Kane assist and a Son assist at 13/5 with Lads.
I've also used a 1 point freebie that's about to expire on Kane 1st goal, last goal and assist at 66/1. Better than letting it go to waste!

Not been a great Festive period, but hopefully we can start the new year off to a winning start with these 6.
Weymouth v Eastleigh
Eastleigh have stopped scoring goals and although they had some good chances on Boxing Day in the reverse fixture they couldn't break the deadlock. Their game against Woking on the box wasn't overly exciting and again ended 0-0. Weymouth came out the wrong side of a 7 goal thriller on Monday against Torquay, but it was certainly a big step in the right direction following from the Eastleigh draw and a win in the FA Trophy against Maidenhead. 5/2 is too big a price for me on a home win.
Woking v Aldershot
I am going to go with Aldershot again. I did wonder if after winning the big derby game on Boxing Day might have an effect against Yeovil and it clearly did. Back to playing Woking again and I am expecting a better performance and the 5/2 should be around 7/4 for me.
Yeovil v Torquay
Yeovil were shocking in the reverse fixture on Boxing Day especially in defence and obviously they have won since as mentioned above. Torquay though will fancy their chances and even though they had to work hard to beat Weymouth they are a better team than Yeovil. I think they should be odds on so am happy to take odds against.
Hampton & Richmond v Dorking
I must admit I thought I got a bit lucky with Dulwich on Monday as Hampton going down to 10 really helped them. Hampton gave it their all in the 2nd half as well and missed a penalty. They deserved a point, but it did continue their poor home form and Dorking did everything but score against them on Boxing Day. I'm surprised Dorking aren't favourites as I think they will get revenge for the Boxing Day defeat.
AFC Fylde v Chorley
The home side are not in good form going into this. They have only one once in 6 league games and lost 3-1 in the reverse fixture on Boxing Day which Chorley deservedly won. Chorley obviously have a big FA Cup tie to look forward to and when I put them up to beat Peterborough I mentioned they were in a false position which they have been proving in the league. They haven't lost in 9 league games and have won 4 of their last 5. They look value to win this.
Kidderminster v Hereford
Granted Hereford were helped by a sending off on Boxing Day, but they still came from a goal down and Herford have only lost once in their last 6 league games now. They also beat Fylde in their previous league game. Kiddie are top of the last 10 form table, but they have lost 2 of their last 3 in the league and Hereford look over priced at 3/1.

December was very much a month of 2 halves. From the start until the 12th I had 12/18 winners. From the 15th until the end I have had just 4/21 winners. Still most of the losers have just been 1pt selections so there was little damage done to the great profits from the first half and I was still 36pts up on the month from 61.5 staked.
The yearly total stands at 197pts staked and 155pts profit.

There wasn't much I liked in the first two matches. I fancied Anderson but I had an outright quarter bet with Van Duijvenbode, so I left it alone. Once it went 1-1 in sets, Van Duijvenbode gave up. Bit poor really. Experience really does mean alot in the latter stages of these events. That's what makes Rob Cross's win all that more impressive in his debut year.
Would love to see Gurney win this now, I must admit. I think he is playing some real solid stuff and I give him a chance tonight. Chisnall has a chance too if he can score like he did the last round but ofcourse he wont. No doubt he'll bottle it.

Ratajski to beat Bunting at 1.5 with bet365
Anderson to beat Van Duijvenbode at 1.8 with bet365 
Gurney to beat Price at 3.00 with bet365
MvG to beat Chisnall at 1.2 with bet365
 
Gurney is definitely back to his best form so I can see him beating Price today. Ratajski is way better than Bunting so he should come through here. Anderson ? vD hmm obviously both very good players, but in the end I believe Gary will prevail somehow. Not much to say about MvG, he's the clear favorite to win the whole thing, let alone tonight's match against Chisnall.
Wishing everyone a happy new year, health and happiness to all of you guys.

Didn't realise he had done that Vikki as I've put him on ignored as I have done for every name he surfaces under. I never read his comments as he has nothing sensible to say. New Year tomorrow and I wish you well in all you do. 

I find it funny potus has bothered to calculate 106 pages of the thread to find out how much you've gained or lost this year.
Onwards and upwards! Wish you both,@waggyand @JdsGooner90 the greatest health and lots of happiness with a better New Year 2021! 

Not bad Waggy most of us do not end the year in profit, the challenge for you will try to get up to £4k profit again
Happy New Year

With nothing worth betting on today below is the two year stats.
Bets in two years 1758    
Profit in two years £612.54    Average profit per year £306.27    Average profit per bet 35p
Average bets per week 17     Average bets per day 2.42
All in all not very impressive figures. But on the bright side it has paid one third of my Electric/gas bills. Also if I had put the £2020 in the bank I would not have received interest of over £600. 
Lets hope 2021 is a more profitable year and more importantly that the virus gets under control.
Happy New Year to all on Punters Lounge and take care and keep well.

1st and 2nd ....shame elmejor was 2nd 

Cheers, Searle. 2-0 up in the final set and loses to somebody as average as Bunting. Nightmare session for me. All going abit south at the moment. tonight's session.
Van Duijvenbode Vs Durrant
Price Vs King
Chisnall Vs Van Den Bergh
I like my final two outrights tonight (so they'll both go out) I think Van Duijvenbode has been 10x better than Durrant in this tournament and I am just hoping he plays like he has been and doesn't freeze like Searle seemed to earlier and Devon. I think he scores more 180s than Durrant either way. If King plays like he did in his prior match he could easily beat Price but I can't see him doing that. Van Den Bergh should beat Chisnall but no value

2.5pts Van Duijvenbode to beat Durrant and most 180s 7/5 paddypower
2pts Van Duijvenbode, King and Van Den Bergh 15/2 paddypower
1pt Van Duijvenbode to win and most 180s / Chisnall most 180s and lose match / Price win and most 180s 16/1 paddypower
 

1pt outsider accy - Van Der Voort (most 180s and lose) / Searle (most 180s and win) / Over 14.5 180s (Anderson Vs Petersen) 15/1 paddypower

So many darts to win it for Clemens. He was leading the 180s too and would have hit the 11/1 treble. Must have had about 8 match darts there. Some brilliant matches over the last day or two and none more so than Cullen hitting 19 180s and having two match darts. Such a shame for him but MVG looks the most likely right now. We complete the 4th round tonight with this lineup. 1st session :
V. Van Der Voort Vs D. Gurney
S. Bunting Vs R. Searle
D. Petersen Vs G. Anderson
Van Der Voort beat Gurney in the Match-play back in July but Gurney looks to be back to some of his best form right now and despite Van Der Voort beating Aspinall, I think Gurney should come through here. Aspinall was terrible and despite Van Der Voort smashing the first set with a 110 odd average, his overall average at the end of the match was just under 94. Gurney was excellent against Dobey and averaged over 101.His average over the last two matches has been 100 compared to Vincent's 94.63.
After that match, we have Bunting, who beat a bang out of form Wade, against Ryan Searle. Searle has won 3 matches up there now but it was only his first match that was really impressive. He hit a 98 average in that but has hit averages of 92.72 and 91.79 since. You get the feeling it's because he hasn't been pushed and he would probably raise his game to the other player. Bunting has struggled with doubles but his average has been a consistent 93 throughout. I think Searle comes out of that match. His scoring will be better than Wades and that will only put more pressure on the doubling from Bunting.
Finally, Petersen takes on Anderson. Petersen blitzed Lowe in the last round and hit 11 180s along the way but his average was just 91.55. He has had a nice draw so far and his win over Lennon was just 89. It's hard to know if his game would raise with a better opponent here but Gary will surely test that theory. Gary has won all the head-to-heads but they have been a while ago. The only thing we can guarantee in the match is 180s really. I get the feeling we'll see a host of missed doubles from both but mainly from Devon, who on the big stage seems to struggle alot more.
