I've been there last couple of years. I'm not sure the 1st time I went because I was sitting on side seating. Last season I had table seats and yeah the place was plastered with flyers for boylesports. I had already done my bet that day in a bookies in town centre before going.My mistake, maybe it's just tournaments that are run on our Island that has no bookies! It's probablyy because the Premier League isn't sponsored by a bookies.
I suppose it's not a big deal, can just put a bet on before heading in but it's very strange for a tournament that is sponsored by a bookies not to have a cash stall.
I sort of got impression last year boylesports were the sponsor. As already said the place was plastered with flyers and I think on the big screen's they had updates with boylesports odds and telephone number.....obviously incase nobody found any of the 1.4 billion flyers
I'll do same again this year and do bet on way through town. Plenty of bookies on way to odyssey.0 -

Some great games last night. I was very disappointed with Colin Lloyd. After a near pefect first set he then let his head drop after Smith started to find his range and win a few legs. You can tell that Lloyd really suffers from confidence issues. We all know he has great ability and I would love to see him back in finals etc but I don't think it will happen purely because he isn't right upstairs. Well doen to the pie man though, very likeable bloke!
Great game between Lewis and Anderson. The standard wasn;t nearly as good as Sky's hype machine were making out with Anderson only averaging 85 and Lewis just over 90 but it had everything in the entertainment stakes; great finishes, plenty of 180's and a bit of needle. In fairness to Lewis he never set foot in the black zone so Anderson had no reason to complain. Yet again it's Anderson's doubles that let him down. There is no point banging in 180's if you can't hit a double. I wa simpressed with Lewis's attitude, no more cocky show boating and much more focused. Hopefully he won't crumble when playing Taylor like he usually does.
Taylor was just too good for Jones. Jones actually played very well and only lost his throw twice, one of which was Taylors near 9 darter. It's just Taylor's consistency that won it. I really can't see anyone beating Taylor unless they play the game of their lives.
The last match was a very good high quality game. Jenkins doubles in was the difference in the end as Dudbridge couldn't get going in a lot of the legs. I think 3-1 flattered Jenkins, 3-2 prob would have been about right. It's great to see Dudbridge back playing proper darts again for 3 years of rubbish. Jenkins against his best mate the pie man in the quarters now, that should be interesting!

i bought into the hype i must admit last night.it seemed like anderson and lewis averaged higher than 85-90.whats worse its not just sid at it.all the commentators are saying we will definitely have a 9 darter this week.
anderson can have no complaints about the lewis incident.maybe if he had hit the double in the first place he might have won the first set.he could go out in the first round of the world championship in december if hes not careful.highly impressed with lewis this tournament.always thought he was overrated.could give taylor a game of it.
dudbridge should have made it 2-2.jenkins is there to be beaten in the early rounds.should make the semis now.taylor looks to be cruising through the tournament.0 -
