World Darts Championship

[Mullahoran]

The big one starts on Thursday with loads of Darts action over the festive period to feast on.

I already posted during the players championship thread my 1 outright bet and that was Peter Wright 16/1 each way and his odds have duly shortened since to 12/1. Basically the last couple of months Wright has been the 2 best player in the world allied to on paper easier half of the draw you would expect either himself or Anderson as the players to come from that side of the draw with Wade and Chisnall as outside threats. The each way part 8/1 is what im really looking at as it is hard to see MVG being beaten this year so will look to lay the 16/1 win part at some stage.

My bet for the opening night is Kevin Painter to beat Jamie Caven, to be honest both players have had poor seasons. Cavan has a poor record on tv especially this year losing his 4 matches on tv whilst Painter is very much a player that plays better on the bigger stage and has a decent World Champs record down the years where he saves his best Darts for. Painter played in the recent players championship losing to Dave Chisnall on the box but it was a good quality match and Painter showed enough to me that he will be ready for the Worlds.

1.25 pts each way at 16/1 on Peter Wright all ready advised

2.5 pts on Kevin Painter v Jamie Caven 1.79 on Betfair

For a limited time William Hill are offering evens on MVG to win the worlds at the moment.
