Las Vegas Darts


Colin Osbourne is in the other side of the draw to Taylor and should go along way in the tournament....33/1 well worth a tickle.

In the first round of the darts.

Colin Lloyd often starts badly and falls at the first hurdle and Peter Wright is making all the right noises about his chance in a big time tournament and 5/2 with SkyBet is massive and will not last.

Baxter will be full of confidence after beating Taylor in yesterdays Players Championship Final and can beat Klassen at 8/11 (SportingBet) and got a sneaky feeling Wes Newton (who got a 9 darter yesterday) is a good bet to beat Alan Tabern (13/8 Bet 365).

Terry Jenkins is another slow starter but the bookies are onto to him and Simon Whitlock has a great chance of beating him but at Evens is probably best left.

Of course I'm hoping local lad (to me) Jamie Caven can beat Taylor but alas I can not see it happening at this stage of his career but hopefully he will put up a better show than he did v his best mate Colin Osbourne in Bolton.

Priestly(4/9) looks a shoe in and Gary Anderson (4/11) is another who starts tournaments slowly and hates morning games (11.00am start in Las Vegas) but Mardle is not in any form so Dream Boy can probably turn up half asleep and win and John Part is hit or miss but has had a soft draw but is not to be trusted even at a generous looking 2/5.

Anyone got any tips for Leicester on Saturday or York next Friday?

I'll have a look and of course pass on good word though it may be about as good as a Thorman grubber.

Your not going to Leicester on Saturday are you, with such a big game as Leeds on show?

Barrow - Toulouse tommorrow:

On SkyBet Toulouse have been given a 14point handicap, now I don't really follow the Championship but that sounds a lot to me. Am i right?

And Doncaster are +58 away to Widnes, didn't they sign some new players? Sounds high to me

Lost all interest in FC under Agar, besides, Madness are playing after the racing finishes!!!

Doncaster conceded 74 points at the weekend, so that handicap is probably about right.

Actually Doncaster lost 8-78 at home to Sheffield.

And Toulouse lost 16-32 at home to Featherstone.

Both handicaps look about right to me, either though I would fancy Barrow to oversome a -16 handicap.

Toulouse were conceding 14 last week to Fev - very difficult to judge the Championship, not knowing who's travelling to France etc so good result for Fev.

Would prefer to be with Barrow on Thursday though.

Can't blame you, most of us have. But who could turn down Madness, I went to Aintree last summer and they played after racing, wonderful!
