16-9 to Jenks

Any Double !

O'Shea at 10/11 plus 8.5 legs might be worth a few bob against Taylor.

Waites beat Whitlock 16-13 or something like that and Jenkins beat Thornton 16-9, back on at 7!

Can i ask ye how do they decide who goes first?? It does not make much difference now but when it was only 9 legs in the group stages it was big advantage...

Kingp35

They throw for the bull backstage. Nearest to the Bull throws first or has choice who throws first. They flip a coin to decide who gets to throw for the Bull first.

Come on Tony O' Shea!!!

Great win for Barney although Painter was rubbish, nothing went right for him.

I went on over 14.5 180's in the game, it finished with 15 :eek: Still bit down after taking Painter +3.5 leg handicap earlier He wasn't on form

Missed the Taylor - O Shea match but if ever there was a case for stats meanin feck all here it is
Taylor O Shea
7 180s 8
20 140+ 19
22 100+ 21
48% Doudles hit 50%

No Major Difference and Taylor still wins by 9 legs

DrDarts

Yes saw those stats last nigh and hard to believe they can be so close when one man is more than twice as good as the other ( in legs anyway ) only thing is not much excitement when Taylors playing on TV nowadays. Always same result. He probably do same to Barney

any one know now to set a sky box for itv4, thanks

Any Double !

press services
press 4 for system set-up
press 4 again for add channels
set frequency 10.750
set polarization to V
set symbol rate to 22
set FEC to 5/6
press find channels
press yellow button on channel to store
then finally press select
ITV4 + 1 which shows things an hour later is on
10.840
H
22.0
5/6
Another way that may work would be to take out your Sky card, plug out box for couple minutes and then plug box back in WITHOUT the card. Depending on make and age of box it could reset free to air channels for you automatically and just scroll thru them to find what you want.

Any Double !

Becoming a bit predictable again unless Barney gets back to his top form and gets at Taylor early as he seems to be the only one that can occasionally get inside Taylors head over a long game but I don't think it gonna happen.
Can't see the winner of other side causing any problems in final. Jenkins can take everybody else that may give Taylor a game but falls apart against the great man then. It would be nice to see Waites in final though, he's been a breath of fresh air so far and might not roll over as easy

those stats are skewed though, how many 134's did taylor have that only count as 100+, he had 2 177's which are as good as a 180 but go in the 140's column etc.... He had a ton of 96's as well which are as good as tons but don't get recorded. Taylors use of the 19's kind of throws those stats off, from 6-4 it was alll one way traffic and as well and all as O'Shea played, he was hammered.

EKRIUQ

Taylor back to business as usual. 14-5 up against Barney

Kingp35

Taylor playing very well but Barney just not good enough. This rivalry is well and truly over, Barney not even close to Taylors standard.

Any Double !

Jeez ..... 2nd semi pure sh1te

shockframe

fair play to waites.took his chances.hard to get excited over the final with taylor involved though.

Devastator

best value bet of tonight, Taylor to score more 180's at 1/2. Waites is 10/1 if anyone wants to donate to the bookies pocket

sc86

what is wrong with barney, he used to be able to really test taylor when he came over from the bdo first, now hes just another top 10 pdc player that gets hammerd by taylor, its hard to believe its the same person that came back from 3-0 down to beat him in the world championships a few years bk

Any Double !

Nice one cheers. Didn't spot that one but I'd just backed Taylor at 9/10 @ -8.5 legs as I can't see Waites getting to 8. I've just had a bit of yours now, it does look great odds. I had just Waites in semi @ 7/4

Tonight will be tough for Waites, he needs to hold his own throw in 12 darts as if Taylor pushes on from today he could be hitting 9,10,11 or 12 dart legs for most of the night.


I didn't really have enough left to justify doing the Taylor 180s bet so threw it in with couple of footie matches tonight aswell (Juventus & Benfica HT & FT winners) and also Valencia to win.

cheers, good luck to you to. Im not as fortunate, using my own money this weekend :rolleyes::D

I've done far better this weekend in an online gambling game rather than my money bets....:rolleyes:


Final is nearly about to start, lets hope its enjoyable

Kingp35

Waites very unlucky to be 4-1 down, he is throwing great stuff and looks like he is really enjoying himself. Hopefully he can win this session 3-2 and keep himself in the game after that great break of throw there.

Waites averaging over 100 and 5 legs down, looking like another Taylor title to add to his long list of accomplishments
