I was happy with getting 20/1 for Terry Jenkins to be a bridesmaid again

GOLF????

1/4 the odds and you have to be in the first 6 in a field of 150+ (dead heat rules applying could make it even 1/8 or worse if the field is grouped together at the end) ????

How is that any sort of value?????

1/2 the odds on Barney (10/1) or Wade (9/1) for the final is better value than any golf tournament or horse race has ever ever had.


Each way betting is for wimps but is more credible in knock out contests where you get 1/2 the odds on making the final than in most other betting markets.

Never done it at the Worlds though and think Mr Consistancy will need a bit more extra kick this year to make it through.

I dont usually but at 40/1 to win with 1/2 odds to be a finalist it was worth a couple of quid.

Not knocking it as he is always there or there abouts but I think a few players have really prepared well for this and if Terry is one of them who knows, massive fan of his so would love him to do it in this (or any other tournament but has he that killer instinct that might be needed a few times along the way...hope he has).

I don't bet golf mate but most of the credible golf tipsters I have come across can rule out 75% of the field anyway. Plenty of value in an e/w golf bet - not so in Darts IMO. You wouldn't take 2 places on a 32 horse race, so why would you with darts? Sure, you can rule out plenty of players but getting into the final is difficult to predict. I'd sooner back outright with view to a trade. But then again, I never bet on outrights.

He did not play that well to be honest but he came out to Slade Merry Christmas Everybody

McDine v Bates would be good today in the battle of the limps, they might need the walk on girls to help both to the board and back

Mervyn King 0-2 Co Stompé

Stompé has been nothing short of fantastic so far taking all 6 legs in the match hitting 3-180's & 5-140's, I think the 1st Set was taken in 11,13, & 14 Darts...
