PDC World Championship

[Fader]

The big one gets started tonight. One of my most favourite sporting events of the year, let alone the darts calender. This event symbolizes christmas more to me then santa haha

Van Gerwen won this last year and indeed that was his third win of this tournament in the past 3 years BUT i still do not think that this style of set-play suits him. There are so many players coming into this event out-of-form that the odds are all over the place. I'm going to take 1 from each quarter of the draw. MVG is in the top half. There is alot of pressure on Price this year in my opinion. He is expected to challenge and at 5/1 he is no price for me.

I'm going to take a punt on Ian White and Nathan Aspinall in the top half. Aspinall is a player more than capable nowadays of 100+ averages and White is a thorn in MVGs side. He is one of a few players that can beat MVG on any given day.

In the bottom half, it's much more open. It's setup very well for Price, but as mentioned before that brings pressure. I like Durrant and Peter Wright. Chizzy is tempting and it was hard to decide between the two, but Wright has a better h2h against Chisnall.

2pts E/W P.Wright to win Worlds 16/1 betfred
2pts E/W N.Aspinall to win the Worlds 40/1 bet365
2pts E/W G.Durrant to win Worlds 40/1 betfred
1pt E/W I.White to win the Worlds 66/1 bet365

Good Luck

For me it has to be Gerwyn Price

Though has a poor record in this his recent form is the best around, with one win and two runner ups
