Premier League Darts 2012

[Choppa]

Yes, yes, yes, we are but a matter of days from the start of the 2012 Premier League of Darts. The 8 man field, and betting market for the competition is:

Phil Taylor $2.75
Adrian Lewis $4.50
Gary Anderson $5.00
Simon Whitlock $8.00
James Wade $9.00
Raymond van Barneveld $21.00
Kevin Painter $21.00
Andy Hamilton $26.00

Taylor's recent form gives cause for concern, however, this competition goes for several months, so there's time for a turnaround. The safe bet seems to be with Lewis, but the Wizard is back in form.

Either way, I'll be watching as much as possible.

Round 1 matches and markets are:
Wade $1.55 vs Hamilton $3.60 (Draw $5.50)
Whitlock $1.75 vs van Barneveld $3.00 (Draw $5.00)
Anderson $1.50 vs Painter $3.70 (Draw $6.00)
Taylor $1.72 vs Lewis $3.10 (Draw $5.00)

Unload on Whitlock at the very generous price of $1.75 imo!

Phil 'The Power' Taylor is still the fucking man. Whitlock throws a 105 average and still gets obliterated by Taylor, throwing the 2nd highest average in the history of televised darts, with a 117+! Sick...

Taylor now wound into around the $1.60 mark to win the Premier League in local markets; and the $2.75+ mark that was available pre-competition looks HOF value.
