Webster v Burnett is an interesting one! There are some good games in there and I see a number of shocks on the cards.

Tough one for Finnan against Mark Walsh if he manages to get through the prelim round.

Walshy aint got a great record against irish players on tv. Bother mac cracken and Skelo beat him in tv events. If connie plays his own game on the big stage he will do himself proud

Any Bookmarkers doing good specials on this?

Best price for Taylor seems to be evens!

5/4 in Ladbrokes. Serious Value.

Dudbridge v Chisnall and Thornton v White are 2 interesting games. Both Dudbridge and Thornton are in big danger of dropping out of the World's top 32 and really need wins here to secure their top 32 status but I could see both Chisnall and White winning these ties.

tough game for finnan, walsh has played very well this year and did well at the GSOD.

I think I'm going to lump a nice bit of money on Taylor..

Just can't see him losing it.

Also, a I seen a nice offer on Twitter from Setantabet.

Setantabet
If any player throws a 9 dart finish in the PDC World Darts Championship, we'll refund all losing outright antepost bets for the event #pdc

Now call me crazy but I'd be 80% sure that there will be a Nine dart finish during the tournament??

Yeah you're crazy.

9/4 top price with the bookies so they think at most a 30% chance of a 9 darter.

Dudbridge and chisnall is potentially a very good game. Chisnall is playing well and im sure mark dudbridge will be for this one as his place in the top 32 is in serious danger. Richie Burnett will also want to prove a point against his fellow welshman.

After this weekend's Players Championship there's sure to be question marks raised about certain players before Thursday's World Championship starts.

Phil Taylor had what I'd suppose you could call a controversial weekend! While he seemed to be upset over crowd behaviour at the Players Championship personally I think there was something more bothering him than reporting crowd behaviour to the PDC!

While Taylor will rightly remain the hot favourite to win in Ally Pally he would need to have a clear mind going into Ally Pally to be focused on winning his World crown back. Reporting crowd behaviour could backfire on him and he could be the target of the boo boys in Ally Pally. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on.

Gary Anderson is a hard player to judge! Brilliant in the 1st round he had a stinker in the 2nd round! Disappointed with his performance at the weekend but if he gets it together and everything goes well for him he could go all the way but 1 blip and forget about it!

James Wade and Ray Barneveld are 2 players who I don't think have any chance at Ally Pally. Barney looks disillusioned with the game and doesn't seem too bothered about winning with a while. As for Wade I seriously think that this boy is still ill especially after his ill advised ramble about Rand and his supporters on TV today!

Adrian Lewis didn't qualify for this weekend's players championship and personally I think this man is in the right frame of mind to make it 2 World titles in a row. The action kicks off Thursday and I can't wait for what should be a great 2 and a half weeks of darts.

I agree with the other poster,i might just place a bet that there wont be a 9 darter. just had a bet on Taylor @ evens.

good post,the only thing i would disagree with is Lewis retaining his title,my reason........ stats! in any sport you need luck in running to win an event and for this to happen 2 years on the trot is not something that happens to most people,the fact lewis didnt qualify for last weekend isnt something that should worry lewis fans,but to reproduce the form that won him the title again this year? not for me.

mr.jingle

Think 4/5 on the rest of the field is decent bet. Someone's bound to put it up to Taylor

Gringo180

Ian White to beat Robert Thornton at 6/5 has to be the bet of the first round, also like the look of Scholten at 13/10 Scott Rand 6/5 and Kim Hubreychts 11/10.

Degag

I was going to back Wes Newton but 28/1 is a bit short.

I'd agree with all of them except Rand who I think may find it difficult to reproduce his players championship form in Ally Pally.

So it's that time of year lads, Christmas officially starts tomorrow:

Tomorrows schedule of play with my predictions in Bold

Thursday December 15
7.10pm Jamie Caven v Roland Scholten
8.15pm Paul Barham v Scott MacKenzie (P)
9.00pm Mark Webster v Richie Burnett
10.00pm Adrian Lewis v Nigel Heydon
11.00pm Wayne Jones v Barham/MacKenzie

dartbhoy

When the World darts starts Christmas starts!

dartbhoy

Mark Webster 7/2 to win his quarter with Ladbrokes is a great bet I reckon.

He is 40/1 with Ladbrokes

Here we go. Tis the season

What a finish to that match. Thought that Caven was gonna get a 9 darter there

Lads can someone tell me is Thornton out of form or something just never heard of Ian White wondering why he's fancied.

Stevecw

1st of my treble up and by far the riskiest one!
Stuck €8.20 on McKenzie, Webster & Lewis. Gets me €22.80 back if they all win.
Surely the last 2 won't feck it up.

Ian White qualified for the Grand Slam and bet Van Barneveld in the first round whilst putting up decent performances against Winstanley and Hankey I'll say he's in with a good chance against Thornton

Anyone know if Anderson is in Taylor's half of the draw? Saw him at 4/1 with Paddy Power to get to the final but can't find a link for the projected draw

Scholten won it. Poor game but it kicked off in the last couple of legs. Was 4 180's in the second last leg of the game

Stevecw

Webster 2-1 down, big pressure on now!

KevIRL

Cracking match this.

Stevecw

Wow webster back from the dead to level it at 2-2. Great match

Stevecw

2 sets all, 2 legs all. Must win by 2 clear legs now. 19 180s already, this is quality stuff.

User Friendly

cant believe that result:(

Stevecw

Wow Burnett wins, and there goes my bet!! Fair play to Burnett tho, won a great match. Never wud have thought Webster would be gone so early, was thinking of him as my outside e/w bet to get to final!!
