kingfox Posted 2 December 2014 Share Posted 2 December 2014 First Round draw has just been made for one of the best Sporting events of the year. 1)Michael Van Gerwen v Joe Cullen 32)Stuart Kellett v Kim Viljanen/Sascha Stein 16)Terry Jenkins v John Weber 17)Justin Pipe v Lawrence Ryder 8)Dave Chisnall v Ryan De Vreede 25)Paul Nicholson v Benito Van De Pas 9)Robert Thornton v Andrew Gilding 24)Ronnie Baxter v Scott MacKenzie/Daryl Gurney 5)Peter Wright v Gerwyn Price 28)Andy Smith v Ronny Huybrechts 12)Andy Hamilton v Dave Richardson 21)Steve Beaton v Kyle Anderson 4)Gary Anderson v Mark McGrath/Scott Kirchner 29)Jelle Klaasen v Christian Kist 13)Wes Newton v Christian Perez/Cristo Reyes 20)Kevin Painter v Boris Koltsov/Haruki Muramatsu 2)Phi Taylor v Jyhan Artut 31)Mark Webster v Ron Meulenkamp 15)Ian White v Jani Haavisto/John Michael 18)Kim Huybrechts v Mickey Mansell 7)Simon Whitlock v Darren Webster 26)Dean Winstanley v Wayne Jones 10)Mervyn King v Max Hopp 23)Vincent Van Der Voort v John Henderson 6)James Wade v Jamie Lewis 27)Stephen Bunting v Jermaine Wattimena/Robert Marijanovic 11)Brendan Dolan v Nolan Arendse/Alex Hon 22)Michael Smith v Mensur Suljovic 3)Adrian Lewis v Dave Pallett 30)John Part v Keegan Brown 14)Raymond Van Barneveld v Rowby-John Rodriguez 19)Jamie Caven v Jason Hogg Top half looks fairly easy to call, I'd expect Van Gerwen, Dave Chisnall, Peter Wright & Gary Anderson to advance to the latter stages. Unseeded players Ronny Huybrechts & Christian Kist especially are capable of throwing a spanner into the works. Bottom half is seriously packed, my word watching the bottom half pan out will be exciting stuff. My money to the win the tournament would be on someone like James Wade in good form, outsider to win definitely Stephen Bunting, but a possible Round 2 clash between the pair could prove to be an epic. Got some decent unseeded players in the bottom half as well, Keegan Brown at the Grand Slam played magnificently, Rowby-John Rodriguez is another one to watch. While players like John Henderson are more than capable. Cannot wait :xmasbiggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 2 December 2014 Share Posted 2 December 2014 I thought John Part had retired, or does he do the Ken Doherty/ Steve Davis role of playing then commentating when knocked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 3 December 2014 Share Posted 3 December 2014 Bet you 50p Rodriguez, Brown, and Henderson don't make round 3.Yeah but did you watch them 3 years ago when they did this that and the other in a completely random tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 16 December 2014 Share Posted 16 December 2014 Who fancies Van Gerwin again? I reckon he can win it again. Odds aren't too bad but would perhaps want a slightly bigger price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 17 December 2014 Share Posted 17 December 2014 He's been well, well below his best for a while now, needs to recapture some form to justify 3/1, I'd want double that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like him normally pull it out of the bag for the worlds, personally I'd rather look for some value in people like bunting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 17 December 2014 Share Posted 17 December 2014 anderson and wade would be my picks outside the top two but realistically i'll be amazed if it's not one of taylor or mvg. if i had enough money i'd put a large chunk on both and enjoy either a 50% or 100% profit in two weeks. think wade to win his quarter is about 100/30 which is great value imo. probably the toughest of the quarters with lewis, wade and bunting but lewis hasn't been in great form of late and is prone to throwing in a shocker per tournament, and i think wade is best positioned to attack these worlds out of the three. and albeit a skinnier price, 4/5 for anderson to win his looks generous too, not much going on in his part of the draw and he's had a great year.

I put £1 e/w on Mark Webster at 750/1. It's like you said though it should be Taylor or MVG, but it's a bit like betting on golf there's some cracking value and quite often you get an also ran or a has been make it a long way.

kingfox Posted 17 December 2014 Author Share Posted 17 December 2014 Think this might actually be a little more wide open than fans suspect. Phil Taylor of course favourite, his record though in past years hasn't been great as we all know, Van Gerwen has suffered a couple of televised losses recently, Barney not really showed anything since the Premier League, Adrian Lewis not been his prolific self in televised tournaments, and same goes for Peter Wright solid player, but looked in better form last year. Depending if they meet in Round 2 which is highly likely, I really wouldn't be surprised if the winner comes from either James Wade or Stephen Bunting.

He's won the ****ing thing 3 out of the last 6 years. There's only been 5 years in the past 20 when he hasn't. His record is untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 18 December 2014 Share Posted 18 December 2014 I can't see beyond Taylor this year. The longer the format the better he is and I really fancy him to win it. Outsiders who are in good form are players such as Terry Jenkins, Jamie Caven or Mervyn King who are big prices and could feature late in the tournament. Can personally see an Anderson v Taylor final with Phil coming out on top. No matter what it will be great tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only been 5 years in the past 20 when he hasn't. His record is untouchable. But only once in the last four, losing to Webster, Chisnall & Smith. Of course his record is untouchable, but as shown in recent years his form at the tournament has been very patchy to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with him is it only takes a few missed doubles early to completely finish him in terms of confidence/checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 18 December 2014 Share Posted 18 December 2014 Problem with him is it only takes a few missed doubles early to completely finish him in terms of confidence/checking out.yep fair point. I'd say bar taylor and MVG thats a risk you take with anyone you pick though. players like Anderson, barney, wade can all go on runs in a game where they can't hit doubles/trebles for love nor money and you slowly watch your solid bet slip away . whitlock's another ive backed in the past and he's done well until one tide turning visit where he'll miss 3 goes at tops etc and it starts crumbling before your eyes. which is why taylor and MvG are at the top, I guess. add aidy Lewis to that list too. got the potential to whitewash anyone on the tour until the pressure hits him and its game over before you know it because he's been whitewashed himself after constant scores of 26, 45, 62 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 18 December 2014 Share Posted 18 December 2014 I just can't see past Taylor. The usual suspects will be there or thereabouts. If Anderson could finish i would say he's well in with a shout because he's such a heavy scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 18 December 2014 Share Posted 18 December 2014 I might be barking up the wrong tree here but John Part at 2/1 to beat Brown looks very big!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 18 December 2014 Share Posted 18 December 2014 Think I'm gonna have abit on Van Gerwin, Coral make me laugh they've just sent me an email saying MVG is 3/1 as if it's an amazing price, it's a pretty average price really, think there's better out there. Might have a couple of quid on Adrian Lewis too. I noticed a few people doing multiple bets in the darts during the Premier League, they seemed quite successful aswell I think, what's the craic? Is it simply just picking winners of matches or is there some other kind of bets, I have an interest in the darts but new to darts betting.

ScouseFox Posted 18 December 2014 Share Posted 18 December 2014 there's rarely much value in an acca of results (people who will win like taylor, Lewis, wade etc) as prices are often ranging from 1/10 to 1/100. IF you can pick a shock or call a closer game between two lower ranked players then you can find some tidy prices. For the earlier rounds things like 180s betting and highest checkout betting is more of an interest to the average punter who isn't going to stake 50k on MvG winning @ 1/25 or whatever.
