[kevshat]

The next televised darts tournament begins on Thursday with the European Championship taking place. ESPN and ESPN Classic have the coverage this year. The draw looks really good so it should be a good weekend of betting. Draw and format here: http://www.pdc.tv/page/NewsdeskDetail/0,,10180~2914611,00.html

Re: European Championship 2012 (20-23 Sept) Tournament preview: 1pt ew S.Whitlock to win European Championship 16/1 Bet365 (1/2 1-2) Simon Whitlock won his first title in over a year at the weekend. He beat Andy Hamilton in the final and had averages during the event in the 100-107 range which is good darts. Why Whitlock hasn’t won more in his career is a mystery. I suspect it might be the pressure the crowds in the UK put him under but he won’t get that in Germany and that could benefit him. Whitlock was a semi finalist last year before he ran into a rampant Taylor but given that he avoids Taylor until the final and comes into the tournament clearly in good nick I’ll take the Wizard of Oz to have a London bus approach to winning titles with a second coming along straight after the first.
