Someone's apparently bet £100k on Phil Taylor at 50/1 ON to beat John Henderson over at Ladbrokes. Yeah, right. Good luck with that. https://www.easyodds.com/betting-tips/world-matchplay-darts-tips?allow_all I remember somebody did a lot their money betting on Phil Taylor to beat Michael Smith in the World Championship a few years ago.

Over 16.5 legs - Whitlock v Klaasen @ 8/11 I like the overs in this tie, a coin flip match IMO but one certain to be entertaining. On their day they can score well and finish well, but equally both can have bad days. I think it will be edgy, with Whitlock falling out of the Premier league and out of form recently he needs a big performance . They met at this stage in 2013 and it went to Whitlock 10-8 so hopefully it goes the same way again here. Most 180s - Huybrechts (v Wright) @ 4/5 Huybrechts for me is the better 180 hitter here, and id have the price a little shorter. There is a potential 19 legs which is plenty of time for the 180 power to show. If we get the Huybrechts on a roll he can slam plenty in, whereas Wright is a more consistent corer but tends to be a steady 100/140 guy. Most 180s - Lewis (v Murnan) @ 1/3 Shouldn't need much explaining here tbh, but Lewis is the 180 king on his day and he should be a class a part here. Murnan is having his first television tournament and you expect nerves. By all accounts not a huge scorer, and id be massively surprised if he hits 2 or more himself. Lewis should be hoping and expecting to nail 5 minimum over 10 (or more) legs.

Unlucky with a couple of those KS. Would have expected Klaasen to be much more competitive myself given his recent form :(

Huh. The last two matches of the last two days have brought shocks. Would love to know if there were any folks mad enough to back the Gerwyn Price/Mensur Suljovic win double!? http://www.pdc.tv/news/article/jpu8gs13s6rzxyf7r2o0le7/title/betvictor-world-matchplay-day-four http://www.pdc.tv/news/article/ph1nlerefkj41xwy7d7ypsgut/title/betvictor-world-matchplay-day-five The quarter-final line-up: Michael van Gerwen vs. Ian White Peter Wright vs. Gerwyn Price Phil Taylor vs. Dave Chisnall James Wade vs. Mensur Suljovic http://www.pdc.tv/news/article/1nvd8qyx4482q1xs2mynl43mxm/title/betvictor-world-matchplay-netzone

[stereoman]

Order is restored as the semi-final line-up is complete: Michael van Gerwen vs. Peter Wright Phil Taylor vs. James Wade Best of 33 legs http://www.pdc.tv/news/article/9qebu4ssafh813t8bqp5406jd/title/betvictor-world-matchplay-day-six http://www.pdc.tv/news/article/jcay068ub4zx1pi9uzpfn5mx4/title/betvictor-world-matchplay-day-seven http://www.pdc.tv/world-matchplay/article/1nvd8qyx4482q1xs2mynl43mxm/title/betvictor-world-matchplay-netzone Those looking for an upset will be heartened that Peter Wright did beat MvG 8-7 in Japan not too long ago... http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/HeadToHead.aspx?plaKey=1463&plbKey=1395 ...albeit that was Wright's only win against MvG in the last ten matches. James Wade's recent record against Phil Taylor in comparison is marginally better (two wins in the last ten). http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/HeadToHead.aspx?plaKey=11&plbKey=1 It'd be a brave or foolish man to oppose a Michael van Gerwen vs. Phil Taylor rematch.

[stereoman]

Taylor punishes Chisnall. Wade labours to a win over Suljovic. What happens!? Wade wins 17-14. :unsure Taylor turned up for the first ten legs but then kind of disappeared after that.
