Lashing in the 180s and his finishing was among the best we've seen so far. His odds have come in to 14/1 in places! Intrigued to see how far he gets though after such a blistering start.

Fader Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 went from 50/1 to 12/1 with stingy PP. Most go 14 to 16/1 after one win lol. Who said bookies overreact? amity and ThunderDan9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will make it a right horrible game. If he beats Gilding then Id fancy him to beat Campbell. I think Wright or Price would take him out but damn, that was the best debut we've seen at the PDC and he's 16. vikki37, ThunderDan9 and amity 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderDan9 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 And I thought 50/1 or 60/1 was too thin... LOL I can't blame the bookies though after this performance. He looked like a very serious contender, for sure. amity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Coral have gone 8/1. So they actually think he has the same chance of winning as the reigning champion, that hit a 9 darter in the final last year. ThunderDan9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of Gauff in the tennis at Wimbledon a few years back. On the plus side, there should be plenty of opportunities to oppose him in the rounds to come - his prices will be completely skewed.

I did want to support Kist in some way, but there's too many question marks around his fitness. That said, it must be almost unprecedented for someone as young and inexperienced as Littler to be such a strong favourite against a former world champion. I wouldn't put anyone off backing Kist in some way, but as I said I'll be sticking with Wright v Williams and backing 3 or more 100+ checkouts at 3.50 at 365. You've got to think there'll be at least four sets and with Wright as strong as he is at big checkouts he could hit 3 himself. Never stood a chance with this. Wright was dreadful.

ThunderDan9 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 OK... Peter Wright's only good moment was his entrance, LOL. Jim Williams needs to raise his game though if he wants to win it all. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Tailgating a tip for Mansell to win 3-0 v Zong (got 29/20 v 5/4 advised). Also taken 23/10 for him to win with highest checkout and most maximums as well. That’s more like 6/4 elsewhere and Zong to get no 180s was also tipped at around 6/1.

Fader Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 The two that I'm going with for the afternoon. Not much to shout about really as the better action seems to be in the evening. 2pts Woodhouse match treble 5/2 Bet365 2pts Rob Cross 2 or more 100+ checkouts (vs Tricole) 9/4 Bet365 vikki37, ThunderDan9 and daveg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say it's more likely that he is in it. You could guarentee : Price Smith MVG Humphries I think if somebody wins this that isn't one of those four then they'll be in it and then you probably have about 6 players aiming for the remaining couple places. daveg, amity and ThunderDan9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveg Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Couldn’t find much I liked either this afternoon - just gone with the boost at SkyBet that both Cross and de Decker win 3-0 or 3-1 and hit the most 180s in their matches. 4/1 seemed like a fair price to me.

He definitely should NOT, but he just might... on merit of his name and antics, LOL. Yesterday my "short favorites acca" came in, but today, I don't really like the favorites... I just hope Woodhouse and De Decker win (for lottery outright for fun, lol)... Littler is of course a bigger favorite against Gilding now than he was against Kist, no thanks... even the Noppert and Heta matches seem tricky to me. In fact, I'm thinking about backing Scott Williams at the +1,5 handicap at around 2... I don't trust Noppert, and Scott Williams already has a warm-up match nehind him, it could at least be close. daveg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Nothing jumped out at me in the Mansell match, but I'm going to have a bet in each of the remaining afternoon matches. I'm starting with Woodhouse to win 3-1 at 3.75. Van Peer should be good for a set based on how he's played this season, but I don't think he'll get more than that. Then I'm backing De Decker to win and hit the highest checkout at 2.75. He should win and then it's just a question of the checkouts and he hits enough high ones to make me think this is worth taking. Finally I'll take a chance on Cross to hit 2 or more 100+ checkouts at 3.25. The consensus seems to be that it'll be an easy win for Cross, but I'm not so sure and if it's not straightforward that'll help this bet. All bets with 365. BOL all. harry_rag and Fader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Woodhouse absolutely bottled that last set. I think that's his weak point though, his bottle. Either wins easy with a brilliant performance or if somebody comes back at him, he buckles. Fully expect Van Peer to hit a 90 average max against Rock.

The equivalent in tennis would be set winner being the first to get to six games - if they tried to implement that in tennis there'd be riots. It's completely unfair and means that your destiny is influenced far too much by luck. Throwing first is an advantage and so is serving first and for that to be decided the way it is is plain wrong.
