R.Smith most 180s 28/1 Paddypower
Bunting most 180s 28/1 Paddypower

Hope you fully recover soon.x

Yep that’s a placing at worst. 
150/1 at 1/4th (37.5/1 winner)

I've also gone for this 4-fold : 
Heta/Bunting/Chizzy all to win and most 180s + Searle just to get most 180s 14/1 Paddypower

Good luck with those Searle bets chaps.
Looks a tricky night, but I’m going with a Wade win, Zonneveld +2.5 legs & Bunting -2.5 leg treble tonight, pays 5.3 with Bet365.

2pts Searle (most 180s) vs Humphries 15/8
2pts Searle to win and hit most 180s 17/2 Paddypower
as mentioned, reckon that Searle is well up for this tournament and has the crowd very much on side. Smashed in 7 180s and Humphries only got 1 in his thrashing. I think Searle hits the most 180s unless a complete drop-off and so the 17/2 win with most 180s looks a bit of a freebie punt

Bunting well priced out at 10/1 with MVG and Chizzy still in the half. Shocking price. I'll take a point eachway on Searle as if Humphries can't be bothered tonight then it's open for him. 
1pt e/w Searle to win 20/1 Bet365

Like zonneveld handicap pick. A good price that. 

Highest checkout over 112.5 (bunting v van veen) , Searle, wade, vandenbogerde, veenstra 10/1 bet365 
Van Veen, Kuivenhoven, Joyce 9/1

Rock, Searle. Wade -1.5 & Vandenbogaerde for me tomorrow. 4-fold is 7/1 Ladbrokes but I want to see what price I can get when the markets open more on Paddy or B365 etc

not bad 

8/1, 20/1, 9/4, 5/4 and 8/11 winners.

Easiest 20/1 winner ever 

always a lot different on the big stage to the floor so it's hard to know if Szaganski will perform like he does on the floor. I've gone with the following :
2pts Veenstra to beat M.Smith 9/4 Paddypower
2pts Huybrechts to beat Schindler 5/4 Paddypower
2.75pts Wattimena to beat DVD 8/11 Paddypower
------------------------------------
1pt 12 100+ checkouts and 42+ 180s in the afternoon sesh 20/1 Paddypower

It's a big ask and ordinarily I wouldn't back a horse like this but I'm feeling brave and sometimes a trainer can get one ready ...it's rare but it does happen 😁

Bergerac wins ...+17.50

Well, I suppose Anda did well to go 3-0 to 3-3 but on the whole a drop off. Today Trump should have an easy win at 1pm. The other match though, I think Gary Wilson has a chance against Murphy. He had a right battle with Ding and despite leading 5-4, lost 6-5. He was terrible in the loss to Stan Moody in the Northern Ireland Open. However, he has won the last 2 head-to-heads with Murphy. Both of these have lost some shockers. Murphy lost to Dale, Hongyu, Wakelin and Mertens in the last couple months.
2pts G.Wilson to beat Murphy 11/8 Bet365

I do hope Anda wins. Then beats Higgins tonight.

I've found one bet for tonight. I mean, I've gone with a couple of trebles but in terms of picking out a single bet, I think Sherrock to hit more 180s than Rob Cross is a good pick tonight.
Sherrock got 3 180s against MVG and then 2 in the 5-4 win over Kleermaker. Cross got 1 against Kleermaker (which he also won 5-4) and 1 against MVG.
So we're talking 5 180s for Sherrock in 15 legs and 2 180s for Cross in 18 legs.
2.5pts Sherrock most 180s  (vs Cross) 21/10 Paddypower

for the reasons above, I'll go with :
2pts Hawkins to win and over 5.5 frames 13/8 William Hill

Just on the outright market, Ronnie has pulled out and that means Anda only has to beat Higgins/Wakelin to make a semi-final against Mark Allen. I think that alone is worth 12/1 offered for him to go on and go back-to-back. I'm also going to take a punt on Hawkins at 12/1. He went 4-1 to 4-4 against finalist Ford last week and is playing some decent stuff. I question the will of Brecel right now and Williams and Milkins are in such rubbish form. Finally, a small punt on Gary Wilson. Come on, he isn't 50/1 here. Murphy isn't playing great stuff and yes he has to beat Trump but if he does then he has a nice QF opponent potentially.

Todays matches :
Brecel v Hawkins (1pm)
M.Williams v Milkins (3pm)

match tips tomorrow :
My only single bet that I'm looking at right now is Anderson to beat DVD and hit most 180s. The last time I saw DVD, he looked injured to me and he wasn't hitting any 180s at all. I think Anderson would win this match even if DVD was fine but I'm happy to take the 15/8 on him winning with the 180 count too. These first matches are first to 5s in these group matches so can't go too mad in what could be a bit of a lottery. I'm quite tempted by Sherrock against MVG lol

1pt afternoon accy - Pietreczko, Van Veen, Dobey, Noppert 7.5/1 Bet365
1pt Evening accy - Wade, Chizzy, Anderson, Humphries 5/1 Paddypower

I managed to get the winner of this last year. Michael Smith was 12/1 and is 12s once again this year. I'll break it down in the same way that I did last year. You can pick your winner and runner-up in each group and then get an idea of the draw and have yourself a quarter-final line-up. My idea of how things will go in the groups is as follows:
A) Smith / Wade
B) Dobey / Clayton (possibly Van Peer to sneak in)
C) Humphries / Anderson
D) Price / Van Veen
E) Wright / Chizzy
F) Noppert / Gilding
G) MVG / Cross
H) Aspinall / Pietreczko (possibly Heta to come 2nd)
Smith/Clayton v Dobey/Wade
Humphries/Van Veen v Price/Anderson
Wright/Gilding v Noppert/Chizzy
MVG/Pietreczko v Aspinall/Cross
As you can see, the bottom half is much better to be in than the top. Wright has a lovely draw to continue his good form. Here is what I'll be taking :
I was tempted with Gary Anderson but he was 18/1 and he has to beat Price, Humphries, Michael Smith and then potentially MVG. Is 18/1 value for that? I don't think so. So, I've taken Chizzy and Aspinall as my two main picks. Chizzy should get through the group OK and then face Noppert or Gilding. He'd then face Peter Wright. If he won that then he'd be up against at worst MVG, who he has done well with in the past. Aspinall is also in that bottom half.
Dobey and Pietreczko are the outside picks for me. Dobey has the stamina to produce it here and I think he'll beat Wade and potentially Smith or Clayton, too. I'm not sure he beats Price or Humphries though but at 33s I'm happy to go with that. Pietreczko is a player that we don't know if he can compete for this length of time but at 66/1 I'm happy to have him on side. If he can beat MVG and get up against Aspinall then I'll be happy

The two ladies have lovely draws. One has MVG and Cross in the group whilst Beau has Aspinall, Heta and recent winner Pietreczko. Harsh.
