    Fook, fair play to Alcinas, held his nerve
    Snakebite was $hite though
    Really opens up that bottom part of the draw - winner of Dolan/Cullen to make the quarters? Maybe Alcinas himself - think he made the quarters last yr

    Happy for Alcinas

    first big shock

    it has been a dire championships so far
    jesus 92 players is great for the players but not the viewers
    standard is shocking
    so many awfull players

    wright was defending alot of money from 2017 so order of merit will suffer alot also

    He’s very inconsistent and I don’t think he’ll ever win the Worlds.

    All the tinkering with his darts has gotta be a distraction.

    Alcinas is no mug

    Don't know who that is. Ha ha. Wright's a nice guy. I wish him all the best. Might be time for him to get rid of the ridiculous mohican and clown image

    Peter Wright to get eliminated from the Premier League a certainty. Can't see him getting his form back. He was so consistent for 3 or 4 years, only for MVG hed probably have 9 or 10 majors. He just looks done now

    He'd surely get a wildcard no?

    Is it a certainty? He's 200k ahead of Gurney which would mean he has to win the Worlds to catch him. Incredibly unlikely he's out (unless it doesn't work the way I think it works)

    Betting talk is allowed, however if you want to start a dedicated betting thread then go for it as it might be better if it had it's own thread.

    Given that the PL is an exhibition/pantomime, I can’t see any way that Wright isn’t part of the circus

    You're right. Wright got to the semi-finals in 2017 so he won 80k. He just lost in the second round this year so picked up 15k meaning that he is down 65k in the rankings.

    Gurney got to the quarter finals in 2017 and picked up 38k meaning he would have to get to the final to overtake Wright in the rankings. Unlikely but possible.

    Anderson is also behind Wright in the rankings and made the final in 2017 so is also defending a lot of money. It's highly unlikely that Wright would fall behind both Anderson and Gurney.

    it's kind of irrelevant anyway because he would get in as a wild card.

    Just on the betting front.

    Anderson, Cross and Price to make the Semi-Finals - 17.17/1.

    Anderson, Smith and Price to make the Semi-Finals - 21.71/1.

    No market on the First Quarter because MvG will walk it, hopefully see him and Jelle Klaasen in the Quarters.

    There’s bad blood there isn’t there? Vaguely remember a reason but not sure of it’s validity

    I meant certainty to get eliminated on elimination night. NForm is so bad i cant see him getting back near his best. Never said he wouldn't be in it, hes automatic pick.

    Jelle did something silly. Owned up to it, said he'd take whatever punishments were going and publicly apologised for hurt caused.

    But he was still very silly

    Sent explicit pictures to Van Gerwen's mentally disabled relation, might've been his sister I can't recall.

    Klassen threw the pint I think.

    Klassen has done the crime and done the time IMO.
    Yet MVG's blatant refusal to shake his hand whenever they play has the effect of prolonging the legacy of what he did.
    And it also cost Klassen a place on the 2016 World Cup of darts team, despite being the 2nd highest ranked Dutch player in 2016.

    MVG is entitled to do this as he sees fit, I don't think I'd shake Klaasen's hand either tbh.

    I’ve never seen her analyzing for BDO, she’s terrible, are sky paying her or is it voluntary
