Darts: 2011 World Grand Prix

[kevshat]

The quirky double in double finish format returns on Monday 3rd October as the game's top stars head over to Ireland for the World Grand Prix. Despite the short early format it's always a good betting heat with some decent dosh to be won and we've got plenty of arrers punters on it now who I'm sure will do just that. All outright bets and match bets in this thread but just a reminder to use the livescore thread for in play chats :ok.

Re: Darts: 2011 World Grand Prix One outright for me at the minute. Will strengthen my 'team' nearer the time but I have to get on this now because I can see him being popular. 1pt ew J.Part to win World Grand Prix 80/1 Stan James (1/2 1-2) Aside from the obvious three or four players, there hasn't been a better player in the tour events all year than John Part. The Canadian has won three events this year as he has really found his form again and it's good to see because we know how good this bloke is when he's throwing proper arrers. The only thing lacking in Part's year has been a TV run but if he keeps chucking his darts the way he has that's only a matter of time. To be fair to him he's had some rotten draws in the TV majors. I'll forgive him the Laursen loss in the World Championship because he turned up to that with flu. In the Matchplay he hit a 9 dart finish but walked into an in form Webster and then a week later in Germany he walked into Peter Wright who went on to make the quarter finals and wasn't far off the semi finals. As well as 3 wins on tour this year, Part has made another final, three semi finals and half a dozen quarter finals. That's ultra consistency and in fact in his last four tournaments at the time of writing he's gone winner, QF, RU, SF. That's excellent form no matter what your name is. He's got a bit of a stinker of a first round in Adrian Lewis but if he can come past him the draw opens up. If this was the Matchplay or Worlds and he had this draw I'd probably ignore it but over a best of 3 sets with double off and end with the way Johnny Part pins that D16 when he's in form, I'll take my chances. If he beats Lewis the draw opens right up. It will be Jones or Dolan in the last 16 and one of Newton, Lloyd, Pipe and Henderson in the QFs. The only thing that will scare him there is the thought of standing behind Justin Pipe while he takes a day and three quarters to throw his three darts :lol. In the form Part is in he should not be 80/1 and if he sees off the defending world champion in the opening round this 80/1 will look a fantastic price very quickly. It's the Canadian for me this week.
