Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 Good luck Perry. One for me in the evening games, can't get involed in Taylor's match. 3pts C.Stompe to beat S.Waites @ 11/8 Skybet I was happy to collect again on Waites last night but I'll be opposing him in this, despite scoring well last night he was having clear troubles on the doubles, Barney wasn't scoring heavily enough to punish him. Stompe's being playing good darts and I don't think he'll be so kind to Waites, listen if Waites scores as he has been doing and checkouts on the doubles then were in trouble with this bet but I have a feeling that he may not play aswell today and Stompe takes this one.

Good luck with that spooner. Stompe played really well yesterday and is getting better every game. I am anxiously waiting on pp to put up prices for the highest checkout for both these players. If both are below 121(which they should be) i'll be taking both.

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 Really like Wade to dominate the 180s against Jenkins at evens...that is the main pick for me today. He has done well against King and Jenkins seems to have problems with that department.

[kevshat]

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010

I'm weighing up Jenkins.. I think the end of his game with King was pretty telling. Wade's worst performances come when the crowd are against him and his best performances... Grand Prix e.t.c come when they either leave him alone or give him their support. His 'siding' with King and trying to use his momentary support to try and get the crowd to applaud Merv' date=' shows his lack of understanding of the crowd I think. Where he should have been bouncing around Stompe style and lapping up the crowd he was shaking his head because they weren't joining him in clapping Kings valiant effort. Now I'm no psychiatrist but the crowd will be all over Wade today when 'Bully' gets going and I can just see a bit of a 'spit the dummy' performance from Wade. Jenkins beat Wade here last year if memory serves? And has a thing for this place having made the final and semi before. Boyles 85/40 is a standout price with many going 7/4... I'm going 4pts Jenkins prevails.[/quote'] I'm right with you mate. Even though I'm on Jenkins outright, this price is too big for me to say no to. Normally the longer matches favour the favourites but either I've got it wrong or the bookies have because I like 3 outsiders today. 1st bad day of the tournament for me last night has put me back to +29.78 overall so I'm aiming to hit back today. Normally I'm more selective but I really like the card today and am going with 6 in total. 3pts W.Jones to beat G.Anderson 23/10 Boylesports 4pts Over 27.5 legs 5/6 Stan James Wayne Jones looks a big price to me here. Ok I accept Anderson is favourite on scoring power alone but the same principles apply here that I spoke about when Anderson played Osborne the other night. Sadly Osborne played like a cnut but I don't think Jones will here. I'm not going to read a huge amount into the group match between these two. Best of 9s and best of 31's are complete different animals. We haven't really seen the best of the Wanderer this week but I think a lot of that is because he's been the favourite in his matches and he's one of those who I think plays better as an outsider. He's a heavy outsider here according to the bookies so that will play to his advantage. Over 31 legs it's unlikely Anderson will be able to land his heavy scoring in every leg so I think there will be chances for Jones, who himself is one of the most improved scorers I've ever known I think. Anderson is rightly favourite but I think this one will be close. I don't see it being won 16-11 or worse either way so I'm confident with the overs but with the crowd behind him then at a big price I'll take the European Championship runner up to take out the UK Open runner up here. 3pts T.Jenkins to beat J.Wade 85/40 Boylesports I like Jenkins here I really do. As people will know, probably Perry aside, I'm Wade's biggest fan. I really rate the guy and have done for a long while but Terry Jenkins has got every chance in this match I really believe. First thing in his favour has to be the timing of this match. He's more used to playing in the afternoon unlike Wade who I can't remember ever playing well in an afternoon session. The last afternoon session I can remember him in was when he lost to Tony Ayres in Bolton. So that's an advantage but then on all known form this week we've got to go with Jenkins too. He's scoring really well this week I think and one thing is for certain Wade isn't going to throw as big a barrage of scoring at The Bull than what O'Shea did and O'Shea got his arse handed to him really. Jenkins is such a scrapper and unlike Wade he's been to this stage of this event before and he's been beyond it too. We really haven't seen anything like the best of Wade this week. His last two opponents should have sent him packing but even though I'm on Jenkins outright I'm taking The Bull to make it 3rd time lucky and send The Machine home today. 4pts C.Stompe to beat S.Waites 11/8 Skybet 4pts Over 11.5 180's Evs Skybet I really like Stompe here and that's without taking Scotty Waites too lightly. I know what Waites can do on this stage having collected nicely on him last year but if we look back at last year, Stompe went out in the group stages but averaged over 100 in all 3 group games. So he's no mug on this stage either. I thought Co was superb last night. I said in my write up to backing him that he goes from strength to strength now and my word didn't he. I'm not Colin Lloyd's biggest fan but he didn't do a lot wrong last night. He just ran into a train. Waites wasn't as impressive last night as he has been in this tournament. Whether that was because he was playing Barney or expectation hitting him I don't know but he'll have to be back to the Waites we saw at this stage last year - the one who beat Whitlock. Stompe said in his interview that he wanted Waites as he doesn't like playing Barney. He's got his wish and I think the Dutchman will deliver here. Speaking of delivering, we've got the two heaviest 180 scorers of the week of those left in, in this match so this 180 line looks a bit low. Waites has been caning the lipstick all week while Stompe looked like he was throwing at a barn door the way he was peppering the 60 yesterday. This will be a close match and I'd be very surprised if we didn't seen 29-30 legs. That's more than enough for a dozen 180's in what could be the match of the day. 1pt S.Beaton Most 180's vs P.Taylor 5/1 Betfred Stevie Beaton really has rolled back the years in this tournament. His run will end tonight I'm pretty certain but the way he was hitting the lipstick last night he may well sail into the sunset with a few 180's behind him. It's hard to read too much into Taylor's match last night and the fact he only hit 2 180's but he for certain doesn't hit many 180's and lose the leg so maybe it's a fair statistic. Beaton hit 6 180's and 16 140's and that's from being 3-0 down to Ted Hankey. I don't care who you are that's power scoring. As well as his 2 180's, Taylor only hit 9 140s admittedly over 5 less legs but I think those stats show these two aren't scoring in worlds that are too far apart this week. Beaton has hit 11 180's to Taylor's 9 180's this week which is another boost for this bet. Of course Beaton could feel the pressure tonight and not perform but he would've been under pressure 3-0 down last night and brought out inspired darts. He could walk into vintage Taylor tonight as well so although there is a risk here I think there's plenty of value to hit this 5/1 with a small punt.

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 Sport Darts Event Waites v Stompe Selection Stompe Strength 10/10 Date 20/11/2010 Bookmaker/Price Boylesports @ 2.30 Reasoning Agree with the other guys on Stompe. This seems like a really even game so take the price. Stompe is improving as the tournament is going on and against Lloyd was excellent. He's also engaging with the crowd and even though they probably won't be against Waites, they'll be for Stompe. Waites got through against Barneveld, again playing nicely but not as great as earlier in the tournament. It could be tough for him after beating the name of van Barneveld and coupled with form maybe dipping a little he could be in for a tough time. Should be a good game, and 2.30 on Stompe seems pretty good.

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 Jones and Anderson take a bow :notworthy.. That was effing quality! Wonder what odds Jones was at 12-15?? Anderson possibly the worst player under pressure, crumbled again but what a game... Top work Kev on both picks for the match :clap Jones has got to be the most improved player in the past few years by a country mile.

[pakelly]

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010

Ok so it's best of 31 legs which makes this bet even more of a bargain: 10pts James Wade highest checkout over 119.50 @ 5/6 Paddy Power I thought this was best of 25 and even at that this is a lovely suprise. I was sure this line would rise to 121.50. Paddy has given not just the 121 but also the 120 checkout. I took the overs for wade in his 2nd round match and he duely obliged with a 161 checkout. I see no reason to desert him now in a best of 31 game.

Profit of 8.33pts :D

[CzechPunter]

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 6/5 on Beaton +8.5 is worth a bet I think. Simply and honestly, I was expecting the line to be a little lower than this. Taylor was brilliant yesterday, but Beaton is much better than Baxter and has nothing to lose, so he will go out and do as much. He can definitely manage 8 legs and at odds against, I feel this is a solid value. Taylor has not been vintage yet, so that may well continue here.

[CzechPunter]

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 I am glad the 180s bet came in but I am also sorry for you that were on Jenkins. He should have won that one. But props to Wade for hitting the D5 on the last dart.

[PerryPFC]

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 Nice work pakelly, spooner, Cramer and Czech... Commiserations to me and Kev! And anyone on Jenkins outright... I think if Jenkins had won he'd've beaten Jones for the final spot and a payout... But Cest la vie... Wade coped better than I expected with the winning dart booing and credit where it's due.. One dart in your hand and double 5 for it.. Is no mean feat!

[pakelly]

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 3 bets on this evenings games for me: 3pts Scott Waites highest checkout over 120.50 @ 5/6 Paddy Power 3pts Co Stompe highest checkout over 117.50 @ 5/6 Paddy Power 1pt Steve Beaton to get the highest checkout in match @ 9/4 Bet365 I think the stompe/waites match is going to be another tight affair giving plenty of legs to both players to beat their respective lines. Both have been finishing fantastically and i can see both taking out some big checkouts tonight. I think kev was unlucky last night with his bet on baxter to get the higher checkout against the power as baxter missed double 18 for a 116 checkout late in the game. Beaton checked out 121 against hankey and i think that would be good enough tonight cos phil leaves himself alot of checkouts under 100 because of his heavy scoring. You might find a better price at stan james but i can't get into it cos of FRENCH REGULATIONS! :unsure

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 what a match, best match i ever seen i reckon

[CzechPunter]

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 I am a little bit disappointed with Taylor though complaining about the crowd. Ok, but so what? I mean, Beaton had EXACTLY the same conditions, give him all the credit - Phil should not be the one to complain, everytime he plays the crowd starts singing when it goes his way and his opponents fall off. Today, Beaton silenced them and Phil was put off and complained and started talking about retirement. I mean, he could lose with more dignity than that.

[PerryPFC]

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 I'm feeling quite smug! :dude If I remember rightly, last time Phil mentioned retirement this year, it was five years off.. Now it's a couple of years away!!!

Was a great shout mate. Could've given me 30 picks on who would beat Taylor over 31 legs in this event and I wouldn't have picked Beaton. Totally deserved though.

what a match' date=' best match i ever seen i reckon[/quote'] Was only the 3rd best match of today IMO :$.

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 Beaton at 2.31 is solid value in my opinion. Beaton was better than Waites yesterday, so why should he bet the underdog today? The match is 50/50 AT BEST, definitely not in favor of Waites. Beaton is more experienced, in better form, serious contender after a long time, so motivation is clearly high. He may be rather stuck after beating Taylor, but the match is long enough for him to bounce back and win this one.

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010

3 bets on this evenings games for me: 3pts Scott Waites highest checkout over 120.50 @ 5/6 Paddy Power 3pts Co Stompe highest checkout over 117.50 @ 5/6 Paddy Power 1pt Steve Beaton to get the highest checkout in match @ 9/4 Bet365 I think the stompe/waites match is going to be another tight affair giving plenty of legs to both players to beat their respective lines.

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 Well i'm +18.47pts moving into the final day, have to say you guys were very unlucky with Jenkins yesterday didn't see him getting that close myself, fair play to Wade hitting that double 5, was no 4/9 shot hitting that. :lol Anyway onto today's semi's, I'm playing this double for 4pts: J.Wade to beat W.Jones @ 4/11 William Hill James Wade isn't much of a price here but I think he'll get the job done and reach the GSOD final this evening. He looked to be cruising yesterday but Jenkins pulled it back and in the end James showed balls of steel hitting that double 5 under that kind of pressure, Jones showed great spirit coming back against Anderson but I feel this will be one step to far for him and Wade comes through this one. S.Beaton to beat S.Waites @ 5/4 William Hill Assuming James Wade comes through his match with Wayne Jones we should be on Beaton at over 2/1 for this match which gives us huge value. I was really disappointed that Stompe did not give Waites a game yesterday as I seriously believe Waites is there for the taking, Co Stompe never put him under any pressure and was allowing Waites to throw with ease. It was just really disappointing to watch if you was on the Dutchmen. What can we say about Beaton coming through the match with Taylor, so many times he looked down and out yet pulled it out the bag. just hope that has not taking to much out of him but even still I feel Scott Waites is missing enough to let Beaton in here and am happy to take him in this double.

Re: Darts: Grand Slam of Darts 2010 Yesterday i had -2,5 on Anderson, +7,5 on Beaton and - 3,5 on Taylor. I think this were my last money on this sport ever. Even I'm quite sure that Wade will grab another big trophy in the end, that's it. Good luck to everyone, I'm waiting for the snooker :zzz
