Think Taylor is cracking value for this at 10/3.

He's been at his peak for this every year before his form tapers off towards the Worlds and is going for 8 in a row.

Averaged over 105 in 5 of the last 7 finals.

Has already won the World Cup with Lewis and the Japan masters a couple of weeks ago so far this summer so current form is solid as well.

Jelle Klassen is in great form latley, fancy the first upset to be him destroying Simon Whitlock tonight. Is that even an upset considering how poor Simon is gone.

Well watching them on pdc last weekend Jelle looked to be back in top form hitting his doubles with ease.

Great week ahead I'll be stuck to the sofa every night.

JK's been doing a lot better by the look of the last few months. They are about equal on the betting so bookies obviously think hes got a chance.

I wouldn't bet(winners) on either 1st 2 games because the games could go down to last leg. No value in last 2 games unless you go for upset (Benito VD Pas? Again been playing well recently)

KevIRL · 18-07-2015 7:30pm

Whitlock turning over the form book in a big way here

paulie21 · 18-07-2015 9:00pm

Didn't expect them two games to be so one sided

ArmaniJeanss · 19-07-2015 12:03am

Hilarious to hear the commentators in the Lewis game downgrading the UK Open presumably because Sky don't have it any more.
Something like "Lewis has won two World Championships and its surprising he hasn't won more big trophies.............Uk Open as well but he needs to start winning biggies like the Premier League, Matchplay and Grand Slam".

ComfortKid · 19-07-2015 9:20am

Sky really annoyed me last night. How could they possibly even try to tell us that last night was an "unforgettable night". It was boring and mostly 1 sided, no drama at all. Murnan might of giving Lewis a scare but it was always going to be a win for Jackpot.
Afternoon session today, anyone know the fixtures?

Standard sky hype, happens all the time now and pointless letting it get to you really. Was surprised at one point to hear mardle preview the mvg game and say he would win comfortably and not hype it up as the bestest game ever.

Afternoon running order
King v Gilding
Bunting v White
Pipe v J Lewis
Smith v Price

Not a lot to get excited about really. No doubt sky will think differently...

ComfortKid · 19-07-2015 9:38am

Usually doesn't bother me, as usually it is some bit exiting but all of last night games really did bore me, Peter Wright had some nice finishes but that was it. Thank you, that session doesn't look too bad. King v Gilding should be close, and Michael Smith is always good to watch.

mdwexford · 19-07-2015 10:51am

Was a very good standard from the 4 winners yesterday.
Should be a cracking tournament when it gets to the business end.

Fancy Gilding to beat King this afternoon.

ComfortKid · 19-07-2015 1:02pm

I fancy Gilding , White, Pipe and Smith all to win.

crasy dash · 19-07-2015 1:05pm

Jaysus that David Croft is another beauty hired by Sky.

crasy dash · 19-07-2015 1:31pm

King and gilding having a bit of a battle nice comeback by goldfinger there.

crasy dash · 19-07-2015 2:12pm

Great start to the day what a battle between them thought Merv was going to come back and win it.

Devastator · 19-07-2015 3:54pm

Didn't get to see any of last night due to boxing & UFC being on at same time. Forgot about afternoon session, seen end of Bunting White game, Bunting didn't look in it really last few legs. Glad to see the darting diazepam is 6-3 down to Jamie Lewis currently

Dillonb3 · 19-07-2015 5:09pm

Well played Price delighted he bet Smith. But Smith really needs to change his attitude when it comes to tv.

paulie21 · 19-07-2015 7:21pm

Vinny unlucky there. Missed double 12 for 9 darter

Devastator · 19-07-2015 7:22pm

VDV misses D12 for 9 darter in first leg of Sunday night...Rod Harrington said "I was booing along with the crowd when he missed there" haha think they've some charity bets or something going

KevIRL · 19-07-2015 8:15pm

Great win for Dolan there

paulie21 · 19-07-2015 9:20pm

Haha Suljovic celebrating thinking he had won the match at 10-9

RVB v Hamilton.
Taylor v Big John Hendo.
Thornton v Keegan Brown.
someone else v someone else.

edit Looking at post #2 the other game must be Chisnail v Caven.

yup Chizzy & Caven, it should be a cracker of a game. Caven (I think) usually does very well against Chizzy, bit of a bogey player

mdwexford · 20-07-2015 6:39pm

Taking a chance on the Hammer beating Barney tonight.

Big price.

marklazarcovic · 20-07-2015 7:39pm

keegan brown could wrap this up easy if he keeps his composure

ArmaniJeanss · 20-07-2015 11:01pm

People give out about the BBC and ITV camera work, but whoever is in charge of the D16/D8 spotting on Sky tonight is surpassing them all for incompetence.

paulie21 · 20-07-2015 11:22pm

Barney out. Won't be long before he's gone from the top 16
