Yesterday seemed like one of those days. Yes, we got a nice winner in the last match of the night, but if Whitlock had hit the doubles at the crucial times, we’d have been having a nice 2-1 day instead of a 1-2 day. A couple of millimetres cost us. Still, we move on to day ten of the competition and this is where the matches start to look fantastic.

Mark Webster Vs Kirk Shepherd

R1 – Webster beat Mark Walsh 3-2

Ave: 90.75
180s: 2
HC: 130

R2 – Webster beat Peter Manley 4-2

Ave: 89.52
180s: 0
HC: 83

R1 – Shepherd bt Scott Burnett 3-0

Ave: 79.21
180s: 4
HC: 65

R2 – Shepherd beat John Part 4-1

Ave: 79.35
180s: 4
HC: 109

While this doesn’t look like a classic on paper, it has the makings of a close one. Shepherd took the scalp of a woeful John Part, while Webster finished strong against a potentially dangerous Peter Manley. Shepherd hasn’t been playing great darts, but he’s been winning convincingly when you look at the scorelines. This will be close, but there is one market that seems to be a bit out of whack. Shepherd has hit 8 180s in 32 legs in his two matches, while Webster has hit 2 in 43 legs, yet Webster is favourite to hit the most 180s. Pricing it up, we’d have Shepherd as marginal favourite, as although he has a tendency to throw some horrific darts, he manages to put in a couple of 180s every now and then, which is more than Webster has done.

Kirk Shepherd to score more 180s then Mark Webster: 7/4 @ Stan James.

Recommend: 2 units @ 7/4.

Terry Jenkins Vs Simon Whitlock

R1 – Jenkins bt Paul Nicholson 3-2
Ave: 93.35
180’s: 3
HC: 101

R2 – Jenkins bt Darin Young 4-0
Ave: 90.18
180s: 3
HC: 100

R1 – Whitlock bt Colin Osborne 3-1
Ave: 101.02
180s: 6
HC: 130

R2 – Whitlock bt Wayne Jones 4-1
Ave: 99.24
180s: 5
HC: 120

Match of the day? Quite possibly. Two heavy scorers taking on each other – one is a stalwart of the PDC and the other has made a name for himself in the BDO. Whitlock has impressed everyone with his darts in his two matches this tournament, whilst Jenkins hasn’t set the world alight, although he’s done more than enough to win his matches. Both men can score heavily and both men can take out big finishes when needed and that is what the match might come down to. Whitlock is favourite with the bookies and rightly so, even if only marginally. They have those prices right, so we won’t get involved in the match betting. There is one book that has a nice line up compared to the rest when it comes to the highest checkout, so we’re going to play that market.

Highest checkout over 126.5 in the Jenkins Vs Whitlock match: 4/6 @ Ladbrokes.

Recommendation: 2 units @ 4/6.

Co Stompe Vs Mark Dudbridge

R1 – Stompe bt Steve Maish 3-1
Ave: 87.37
180s: 1
HC: 78

R2 – Stompe bt Mervyn King 4-2
Ave: 99.86
180s: 5
HC: 100

R1 – Dudbridge bt Andree Welge 3-0
Ave: 82.67
180’s: 0
HC: 146

R2 – Dudbridge bt Alan Tabern 4-3
Ave: 95.06
180s: 2
HC: 92

Yet again, another match that might get the juices flowing and it could be a great end to the afternoon session. Stompe pulled off a bit of a shock when he beat Mervyn King in the second round, while Dudbridge survived a scare against Alan Tabern. The bookies make Stompe favourite, as do we. On his day The Matchstick can play fantastic darts, take out some big checkouts and hammer the 180s. Dudbridge has been there and done it at the World Championships, so this match will hold no worries for him. Stompe holds a 3-1 lead over Dudbridge in the head to head and that might be the telling factor. However, 4/6 isn’t the most appealng of prices, so we’ll be happy to sit back, watch the match and enjoy a cup of tea while watching it.

Recommendation: No bet.

Ronnie Baxter Vs Colin Lloyd

R1 – Baxter bt Haruki Muramatsu 3-0

Ave: 94.93
180s: 0
HC: 68

R2 – Baxter bt Gary Anderson 4-0

Ave: 97.51
180s: 4
HC: 142

R1 – Lloyd bt Magnus Caris 3-1

Ave: 95.5
180s: 1
HC: 133

R2 – Lloyd bt Denis Ovens 4-3

Ave: 88.48
180s: 6
HC: 110

Yet another intriguing game. Baxter produced a great performance to do one of the pre-tournament favourites 4-0, whilst Lloyd struggled to beat Denis Ovens. Baxter should be able to cap off a good year with a win here, but Lloyd won’t make it easy. Both men haven’t hit huge checkouts and Lloyd especially has been struggling with his doubling, so we don’t expect to see too many big finishes. The fact the line for this is roughly the same as the Jenkins/Whitlock match means we have to have a dabble on the unders.

Highest checkout under 129.5 in Lloyd Vs Baxter match: 10/11 @ Stan James.

Recommend: 1 unit @ 10/11.

James Wade Vs Andy Hamilton.

R1 – Wade bt Steve Brown 3-1
Ave: 96.65
180’s: 6
HC: 71

R2 – Wade bt Michael van Gerwen 4-2
Ave: 97.79
180s: 7
HC: 150

R1 – Hamilton bt Osmann Kijamet 3-0
Ave: 87.27
180’s: 1
HC: 40

R2 – Hamilton bt Steve Beaton 4-1
Ave: 94.69
180s: 8
HC: 86

We know, we’re sounding like a broken record, but another great match and it’s two of the heaviest scorers in the game facing off. Both men managed a very healthy 180s total in their second round match, which should be an indication of what is to come tomorrow. Wade has shown a lot of people he’s taking this tournament a lot more seriously than he has done in the past and that’s been reflected in the relative ease of his wins. However, he won’t have it his own way against Hamilton, who looked impressive in his two wins so far. Wade holds an 11-6 advantage in the head to head, but Hamilton seems a bit overpriced at 3/1. The thing is, if Hamilton gets his head in front, Wade’s head may drop as has happened in the past. Hamilton won their last encounter at the GSOD and we like to think he take his scalp again. At the odds, it’s worth a nibble.

Andy Hamilton to beat James Wade: 3/1 @ Stan James.

Recommend: 0.5 unit @ 3/1.

Raymond van Barneveld Vs Kevin Painter

R1 – Van Barneveld bt Warren Parry 3-0

Ave: 92.65
180s: 3
HC: 77

R2 – Van Barneveld bt Brendan Dolan 4-0

Ave: 89.95
180s: 4
HC: 141

R1 – Painter bt Mensur Suljovic 3-1

Ave: 91.17
180s: 4
HC: 164

R2- Painter beat Vincent van der Voort 4-3

Ave: 92.23
180s: 11
HC: 97

Well, we all know Barney hit another 9-darter in his second round match, which he came through quite comfortably. Painter struggled at times against VDV, but at other times looked like a machine, as is evident with his 180 scoring. It’s true to say that in longer matches, Painter can score as heavily as anyone. The problem we have is, we don’t know which Barney will turn up. In fact, a different Barney can turn up in between games, which gives us a problem when finding a bet. Barney should take Painter out, but there’s no value in that and considering Painter has done Barney at this stage in the past, it doesn’t make a worthwhile bet, neither does Painter at 9/4. The 180s market seems spot on, as does the highest checkout market. Even Painter to hit the most 180s doesn’t appeal, so it’s left for us to simply watch the match, enjoy a heavy scoring affair and hopefully count our profits from the rest of our best.

Recommendation: No bet.

Summary: What a day of matches! We really like our bet on Kirk Shepherd, as we honestly think the markets are way, way out on this. Also, if Whitlock can just find the smallest of measurements and get on the other side of the wire, our highest checkout bet looks a certainty.

So, enjoy what is sure to be a fantastic day of darts and happy betting!

PDC World Championships Day Nine

Sorry for the delay! We’re already underway with today’s play, but here are our selections:

Andy Hamilton v Steve Beaton:
R1 – Hamilton bt Osmann Kijamet 3-0
Ave: 87.27
180’s: 1
HC: 40

Beaton bt Carlos Rodriguez 3-0
Ave: 89.52
180’s: 4
HC: 98

Should be a cracking start to the day with the heavy scoring Hammer taking on the worlds sexiest darts player! Hamilton never got out of first gear in his opener and never dropped a leg in a routine win. He will have to play better today though as he is taking on an in form player who seems a lot more relaxed on stage now. Again he wasnt pushed in his opener but he finished well and scored well and this should be a good match. We can see this going 6 sets minimum (famous last words). Hamilton on song is one of the best for hitting maxes and Beaton seems to have started to hit a lot more than in previous years as well. Hopefully the mark of 10.5 can be beaten as a result, but the lines seems just about right and there’s little value to be had.

Recommendation: No bet.

Terry Jenkins v Darin Young:
R1 – Jenkins bt Paul Nicholson 3-2
Ave: 93.35
180’s: 3
HC: 101

Young bt Andy Smith 3-2
Ave: 84.56
180’s: 4
HC: 86

Bit of an odd game here with Jenkins who has never really showed his best at Ally Pally vs Young who came through a shocker in R1. On their best form Jenkins would win this cosily but we have a bit of a feeling that this could have some swings in it. Key to Jenkins is his doubling as he normally scores well but his doubles can hold him back. Young on the other hand wont score as well but when I have seen him at GSOD he usually finishes pretty well. If Jenks gives chances then Young might take them and with the hope of a trade we are going to have a small bet on Young to win the handicap in receipt of +2.5 sets.

Darin Young +2.5 sets vs Terry Jenkins: Evens @ Stan James.

Recommend: 1 unit @ Evens.

Simon Whitlock v Wayne Jones:
R1 – Whitlock bt Colin Osborne 3-1
Ave: 101.02
180’s: 6
HC: 130

Jones bt Alex Roy 3-1
Ave: 85.61
180’s: 2
HC: 121
Final game of the afternoon sees a clash between the classy Aussie Whitlock and one of the best floor players in Jones. Whitlock is a really heavy scorer and brilliant doubler and he really could have a long run here which would give him an outside chance of the PL. Jones is a former SF here and is a player who I think is often underrated by the bookies. He played OK v Roy but finished well except when he almost chucked the match. Really think the high check is a good bet here simply because Whitlock takes out so many of them. Every game at the GSOD he played in beat the line and his R1 match also went over so hopeful of the run continuing here.

Highest Checkout Over 126.5 in the Whitlock Vs Jones match: 5/6 @ Blue Square.

Recommendation: 2 units @ 5/6

James Wade v Michael Van Gerwen:
R1 – Wade bt Steve Brown 3-1
Ave: 96.65
180’s: 6
HC: 71

MVG bt Peter Wright 3-1
Ave: 89
180’s: 3
HC: 32

Last match in R2 sees Wade take on the former prodigy in Van Gerwen. Wade hit his best ever average at this venue in R1 and did well to come through a fairly tough test. He clearly has masses of ability and is one of the few who can live with Taylor at his best. Van Gerwen won his opener pretty comfortably but was given a host of chances by his opponent. He will have to play well here to have a hope as we think Wade looks quite focused and is intent on a long run. Think the prices look about right here as the markets such as maxes are dependent on 6 sets and I think this could be a rout if Wade is at it this evening. As such we will sit back and enjoy a match with no stress.

Recommendation: No Bet

Phil Taylor v Robert Thornton:
R2 – Taylor bt Steve Hine 4-0
Ave: 103.28
180’s: 6
HC: 84

Thornton bt Jyhan Artut 4-1
Ave: 91.71
180’s: 4
HC: 105
Opening match of R3 sees the legend take on the Scotsman Thornton in what could prove to be another routine win. Taylor just marches on relentlessly showing no signs of getting worse and simply blowing away the opposition. He’s only dropped 2 legs so far and Thornton has to start well or he could be another whitewash victim. He played ok in R2 and finished well and thats what he has to do here. If he can average 96 or 97 and check out at 50% or better then he might make a game of it but thats a big if. He was blown away in the Jocky Wilson by Taylor 6-0 but he has given him games before so I hope its at least a contest here. As with all Taylor matches we find it hard to find a value bet but if pushed I’d say the max line of 9.5 would be beat if Thornton can take a set. We’re not convinced he can though, so won’t be playing as a result.

Recommendation: No Bet

Adrian Lewis v Kevin McDine:
R2 – Lewis bt Wes Newton 4-2
Ave: 103.68
180’s: 12
HC: 107

McDine bt Barrie Bates 4-0
Ave: 91.71
180’s: 1
HC: 127
Final game today sees a match between 2 young guns of the PDC. Lewis has been playing the best of all the players in the opening 2 rounds but he is capable of throwing in a shocker from nowhere. If he continues in that vein then he will be hard to stop tonight but McDine is capable. He is a huge scorer himself when on song and I think this could be a 6 or 7 set thriller. Bet we like here is the maxes again simply as both can hammer it and I honestly cannot see less than 4-2 or 4-3 here. The line is 1 lower than I thought it would be so hopefully this one goes to plan.

Over 13.5 180s in Lewis Vs McDine match: 5/6 @ Blue Square.

Recommendation: 2 units @ 5/6.

Summary: Wide range of bets today that hopefully keep us on track after yesterday. We like the look of the maxes and we’re hopeful that Young can get 2 sets to land the handicap. Finally, hopefully the wizard Whitlock can maintain his run of high checks in his match v Jones.

Happy betting!

PDC World Championships Day 8 Tips

Well, an interesting day yesterday, with Stompe bringing the A-game, not Merv. Dudbridge and Tabern brought a great match that showed that both of them seem to have no bottle, with Tabern proving to have even less bottle than Flash. Taylor did what was needed, as did Thornton and McDine looked reasonably impressive. So, let’s get the next rond of matches out of the way and I think we’ll get a few crackers today.

Colin Lloyd Vs Denis Ovens:

R1 – Lloyd bt Magnus Caris 3-1

Ave: 95.5
180s: 1
HC: 133

R1- Ovens bt Jan van der Rassel 3-1

Ave: 83.19
180s: 1
HC: 94

Well, probably not going to be a classic to start the day off. Thanksfully, it’s on first, so things can only get better. Ovens looked awful in the first round and he’s lucky that Van der Rassel isn’t in the same league as a lot of PDC players. Lloyd looked pretty handy against Caris, who was probably the most impressive of the qualifiers from the prelims. Lloyd looks a formality, but do we want to take a 2/5 shot on for a player who has blown hot and cold over the last couple of years? Short answer: no. However, the 180s line seems a bit high for a match we can see being over quite quickly if Lloyd plays the same against Ovens as he’s capable of. There could be around 20 legs in this, so the line of 7.5 is a bit high for a pair that scored 2 180s between them in their first round matches.

Under 7.5 180s in Lloyd Vs Ovens match: 10/11 @ Blue Square.

Recommend: 1.5 units @ 10/11

John Part Vs Kirk Shepherd

R1 – Part bt Toon Greebe 3-0

Ave: 95.45
180s: 5
HC: 167

R1 – Shepherd bt Scott Burnett 3-0

Ave: 79.21
180s: 4
HC: 65

A rematch of the 2008 final. Part was awesome in his match, which was a potential banana skin, Shepherd did what he needed to do. If Part plays the darts he did against Greebe, he’ll win 4-0. The prices and the lines seem about right for this match. We don’t think there will be too many legs in this match and althoug there is the potential for a glut of 180s and a decent checkout, a short match might scupper those plans and we don’t think the prices are worth the risk.

Recommend: No bet.

Kevin Painter Vs Vincent van der Voort:

R1 – Painter bt Mensur Suljovic 3-1

Ave: 91.17
180s: 4
HC: 164

Van der Voort bt Dylan Duo 3-0

Ave: 93.26
180s: 2
HC: 92

This could be the sleeper of the round. Both men are capable of playing good darts on their day and show no signs of bottling it in front of the camera. VDV had a very easy match against the shocking Dylan Duo. Painter was another one who might have slipped up against Mensur Suljovic, but took to the task well and beat his opponent who’s taken some big scalps in his time. The head-to-head is 3-3 with 1 draw, although they’ve never played each other in front of the TV cameras before. This is a seriously tight match and the prices reflect this. But both men are big game players capable of big scoring and big checkouts and we like the look of the big checkout, considering Painter can hammer in some 150+ outs when the mood takes him.

Highest checkout over 125.5 in the Painter Vs Van der Voort match: 10/11 @ Stan James.

Recommend: 1 unit @ 10/11.

Mark Webster Vs Peter Manley.

R1 – Webster beat Mark Walsh 3-2

Ave: 90.75
180s: 2
HC: 130

R1 – Manley bt Andy Jenkins 3-2

Ave: 88.76
180s 2
HC: 127

A very interesting match between a young former World Champion who is on the rise against a man who is trying to climb his way back up the rankings after a wayward year or two. Webster picked up a big win against the in-form Mark Walsh, while Manley came from behind against a man similar to him, Andy Jenkins. Manley has the experience on the PDC stage, whilst there is no doubting Webster’s ability and his desire to make a name for himself in the PDC after moving from the BDO in a widely publicised move. Head to head, it’s 1-1, although Webster won the last encounter 9-4 at the UK Open. Webster is a ridiculously short 1/2 (various), but he’s a deserved favourite. I can see him winning this, but not getting it all his own way. This is probably a match we want to be watching rather than betting on, so we’re happy to sit this out and savour a World Champion playing a Worl Championship finalist.

Recommend: No bet.

Raymond van Barneveld Vs Brendan Dolan.

R1 – Van Barneveld bt Warren Parry 3-0

Ave: 92.65
180s: 3
HC: 77

R1 – Dolan bt Tony Eccles 3-1

Ave: 94.96
180s: 1
HC: 121

I don’t think there’s much to write about here. This is, on paper, a complete mis-match. Barney wasn’t troubled in his first round match and didn’t drop a leg on his way to a comfortable victory. His average wasn’t anywhere near what it could be and it didn’t have to be. Brendan Dolan had a great win against Tony Eccles and will probably be more than happy just to get past Eccles – anything more is simply a bonus. I can’t see there being many legs, so the 180s market isn’t going to be a worthwhile play and with Barney not seemingly firing on all cylinders yet, the highest checkout market isn’t worth a play. The handicap market is worth a look, but with Barney being so inconsistent, Dolan might get the 2 sets he needs and at the short prices, it’s not worth the punt. The market, much like those featuring Phil Taylor, are prohibitive and it leave us with a watching brief.

Recommend: No bet.

Ronnie Baxter Vs Gary Anderson.

R1 – Baxter bt Haruki Muramatsu 3-0

Ave: 94.93
180s: 0
HC: 68

R1 – Anderson bt Jamie Caven 3-2

Ave: 93.11
180s: 5
HC: 121

Game of the day? Yes. Game of the round? Possibly. Both men are seasoned campaigners and both posted nice averages in the first round, with Anderson being pushed all the way against Caven. Baxter didn’t have it all his own way against the Japanese qualifier, but he still looked impressive taking him out, albeit without any maximums. Anderson looks a little short at 2/5, but we think he’ll take this match. Now, while Anderson is capable is firing in 180s, Baxter is more of a 140 machine. The fact he didn’t hit on maximum in his first round match is a bit of a worry. Add to the fact that Anderson only hit 5 over 5 set and 21 legs means that it might not be the 180-fest the bookies think.

Under 11.5 180s in Baxer Vs Anderson match: 4/5 @ Stan James.

Recommend: 2 units @ 4/5

Summary: There are some cracking matches for us today. Anderson has a chance to prove he’s worth of being thought of as an upper echelon PDC player if he can score a big win of Ronnie Baxter. Manley and Webster has the potential to be a classic encounter and VDV and Kevin Painter will certainly put on a show.

So, enjoy the darts and happy betting!

PDC World Championships Day 7 Tips

Thank god the festivities are over and we can get back to enjoying the darts. 6 R2 games today and hopefully a fair bet or two will present itself over the following 2 or 3 days.

Mervyn King v Co Stompe:

R1 – King bt Matt Clark 3-0
Ave: 97.4
180’s: 3
HC: 126

Stompe bt Steve Maish 3-1
Ave: 87.37
180’s: 1
HC: 78

King eased through his R1 match v Clark only dropping 2 legs in the process. He’s going to be hopeful of another good run here after his semi final last year and he definitely has the game to progress a long way. Stompe was less impressive in his opener and he will have to improve on that if he wants to live with King. He does have the game in his locker though as he has shown on the odd occasion but consistency is his problem. We’ve looked at this game and ummed and aahed about various bets and have concluded that all the prices look just about right. We really wanted to get long of the 180’s, but upon closer inspection it seems that over the piece King is probably worth 1 max every 5 legs. Stompe is probably worth 1 every 5 or 6 as well so if you imagine somewhere in the region of 22-24 legs the line looks about right.

Recommendation: No Bet

Kevin McDine v Barrie Bates:

R1 – McDine bt Dennis Priestley 3-2
Ave: 99.06
180’s: 4
HC: 127

Bates bt Jelle Klaasen 3-1
Ave: 88.61
180’s: 0
HC: 144

Battle of the cripples with Bates and his terminal limp taking on McDine and his injured knee. We thought Kevin played really well in R1 as shown with his average and the fact he had to come from 2 sets down. The only thing he will be keen to put to bed tho is last years memories of losing a 3-0 lead to Dennis Smith. Bates also played well in coming from a set down to beat Klaasen and the key seemed to be his finishing. If he hopes to win then he has to take out his chances again, as there is no question McDine is the heavier scorer. Again we’ve toyed with several bets here including the maxes, but just think that the odds seem to be correct. McDine is usually a good 180’s shooter but in order to beat the line of 7 he will probably have to hit at least 6 on his own as Bates has never hit more than 2 in any televised game that we can find. What then comes into play is how many legs they play as he had 4 in 21 legs v Priestley and this match could have roughly the same amount in it.

Adrian Lewis v Wes Newton:

R1 – Lewis bt Aodhagan O’Neil 3-0
Ave: 106.51
180’s: 6
HC: 122

Newton bt Jarkko Komula 3-0
Ave: 86.61
180’s: 2
HC: 111

Lewis was the most impressive of all the R1 victors,wrecording by far the highest average of all the players. He has so much talent but unfortunately trying to get him to produce it more consistently is the problem. He claims he is more focused since becoming a dad but he was woeful at the GSOD so we ainit buying into that theory yet. Newton did enough in his first match to get through but he is a player who saves his best for Vegas and hasnt shown it anywhere else yet. He did however push Barney in Ireland but his average was still poor and we think he has to average mid 90’s to live with Jackpot here. We think that Lewis will win this match in 5 or 6 sets but the bet we like here is the high check. Lewis especially is very good in the 130-150 range and we think with the prospect of 20+ legs that this is a fair shout.

Recommendation: Highest Checkout over 125.5 in the Lewis Vs Newton match: 10/11 @ Stan James.

Recommend: 2 units @ 10/11.

Alan Tabern v Mark Dudbridge:

R1 – Tabern v Ken MacNeil 3-2
Ave: 89.41
180’s: 5
HC: 75

Dudbridge bt Andree Welge 3-0
Ave: 82.67
180’s: 0
HC: 146

Tabern really toiled in his match vs the canadian MacNeil but it is to his credit that he managed to get through in the end. Dudbridge was also less than impressive vs the german Welge who missed a load of doubles to make the match much tighter. We can see this match being very cagey with a lot of legs being played and a lot of doubles getting missed as they tend to be their achilles heel (especially Dudders). Tabern is rightly a marginal favourite, but the bet we like is Tabern most maxes. We had priced this up with Tabern as a slight favourite, as he is usually pretty consistent for 4 or 5 a match where Dudbridge is very hit or miss around the treble. Just on the price alone we think Tabern has to merit a small wager in this market.

Tabern most 180a Vs Mark Dudbridge: 11/8 @ Stan James and Blue Square.

Recommend: 1 unit @ 11/8.

Phil Taylor v Steve Hine:

R1 – Taylor bt Colin Monk 3-0
Ave: 102.48
180’s: 2
HC: 170

Hine bt Roland Scholten 3-2
Ave: 83.45
180’s: 2
HC: 100

Taylor never came out of 2nd gear in his opener vs Monk and never dropped a leg in the victory. We think another routine win is on the cards here and he might not lose more than a leg again. Hine came through a low grade affair in R1 and to be honest came across as a bit of a tool with his actions during the match. He’s said it’s his dream to play Taylor on TV, but he might not feel like that after a Taylor masterclass. Obviously restrictions on 4-0 and most maxes make this a bit of a non event, but we were tempted to back under 6.5 maxes. However, Taylor could cover this on his own and after what happened in the Wade match in R1, we am reluctantly going to stay away altogether.

Recommendation: No Bet

Robert Thornton v Jyhan Artut:

R1 – Thornton bt Christian Perez 3-1
Ave: 84.29
180’s: 1
HC: 81

Artut bt Wayne Mardle 3-0
Ave: 82.24
180’s: 0
HC: 67

Thornton came through a nervy encounter vs the qualifier Perez and at times looked as if he could go out. He did get through and has a very winnable accounter here vs another debutant. Artut came through with ease vs Mardle, but in all honesty he was never pushed at any point as mardle virtually gave up. Thornton at 1/3 doesnt appeal to us, but we do think he will win. However, we’ve found it hard to get an edge on this match and will probably be half asleep as it comes on.

Recommendation: No Bet:

Summary: Hopeful that the afternoon can get us off to a good start with a high checkout in Jackpot’s match. Also at the price, we think Tabern can definitely outmax Dudders and we can watch the last 2 matches in profit.

Happy betting!
