On Lewis/Taylor/MVG and Whitlock or Thornton most 180s for tonight for some interest

Really really liking the 11/10 on Thornton and the 10/3 available on a Thornton (v Whitlock) Wade (v Lewis) double tonight.
Thornton beat Taylor last week scoring 103+ and beat Whitlock 7-1 the week before scoring 107.65 average. Whitlock has lost his last 3 and can't see anything other than a similar result this time around. The 11/10 on Thornton for this game would be pretty close to printing money because i've have him 4/7 for this game. Thornton most 180s in this game @ 4/5 is also a good bet. Thornton has been hitting them for fun this season and his 36 from 9 games is the best in the league.
Wade has won his last 2 and had a draw with Barney the week before. He's joint top with MVG and Barney and plays twice tonight and won't like to go into his game with Van Gerwin after suffering a loss to Lewis because he could fall off the pace. Lewis has been in decent form and scored a 100 average despite losing 7-2 to an inform Barney last week, and was unbeaten in his 4 previous games. Think both could score highly but Wade's double hitting will be the difference in this game.
Whether anyone bets or not, there's 5 cracking games of arrows ahead tonight.

Got block T, row 2 for Friday and block K row 4 for Monday
Cost me £25 for the year and I got 6 tickets for the Grand Prix for people so just charged everyone 50 instead of 44 to spread the cost.
Might head over for the Worlds in December as well so be handy to get good seats.Originally posted by ArmaniJeansI like this heat - some proper music innit.
None of the 'black disabled lesbian warbling backwards' stuff that the other players inflicted on me.

Taylor mighty pissed off with the crowd during his match against the Hammer, loses 10-8 and then throws a bit of a strop on stage, leaves Hamilton standing there waiting for the customary handshake and eventually gives him the lightest of handshakes before walking off the stage with a face like thunder. Classy as always Phil

Attn Flushdraw
Am looking at running a pretty basic fantasy UK Open darts competition on Boards. Pick a team of 10 players and gain points depending on their point of exit. I came up with the below breakdown of how I think the points should be awarded, seeing as this is your forte, can you have a look
Winner - 30 points
Runner Up - 20 points
Semi Finalist - 15 points
Quarter Finalist - 12 points
5th round - 10 points
4th round - 8 points
3rd round - 5 points
2nd round - 3 points
1st round - 2 points
Preliminary round - 1 point.
More detail on this thread from post 15 onwards, will of course link to the thread here once its finalised

At first glance 10 players seems an excessive amount of picks to me. 5-6 max and something like if you pick Taylor you cant pick MVG or if you pick MVG you cant pick Taylor.
If theres no restrictions on who you can pick then for Taylor & MVG you dont score any points off them unless they make the semi. Also if either of them get KO'd in the 1st or 2nd rd its minus 3pts. Thats the risk of going for a top 2 player and potentially opens the field up more.

I dont want to do any minus points or anything like that cause I want to keep it as simple as possible, you are restricted in picks to just 1 from each of the 10 groupings below though (decided by PP tournament odds)

Just spotted the 10 groups thing. Pretty good but too much deadwood from 4 groups onward.
Possible alternative is how about 5 picks
1 from top group
2 from second group
2 from 3rd group
SPOILERTop Group(1pick)
Michael van Gerwen
Phil Taylor
Second Group(2 picks)
Raymond van Barneveld
Simon Whitlock
James Wade
Adrian Lewis
Robert Thornton
Kim Huybrechts
Gary Anderson
Andy Hamilton
Third Group is the anyone else in the field. (2 picks)

I'd go something closer to this (if you don't mind dealing in half points)
Winner - 21 points
Runner Up - 15 points
Semi Finalist - 11 points
Quarter Finalist - 8.5 points
5th round - 6.5 points
4th round - 5 points
3rd round - 4 points
2nd round - 3 points
1st round - 2 points
Preliminary round - 1 point
I think 10 picks may be a bit much tho. Possibly have it as 7 and refine some of the groups. I'd only have Taylor/MVG in one group, and maybe take 2 picks from a group with 8-10 players, 2 picks from a group of another 14-16 players and 2 picks from the rest

Just noticed yours and Rounders posts above so ignore that if you're going with the full draw
Preliminary Round
Vincent van der Voort v Andy Murray
Robbie Green v James Wade
Why is VDV and James Wade in the prelims? Robbie Green must hate life seeing as he's one of the better players in the prelim!

I'd be tempted to leave MVG and PT out of it altogether as they fuck up the symetry.
Putting them in a 2 man group is pointless and putting two other players in with them who no-one is going to pick is even pointlesser.
A 4 man group with Barney, Wade, Lewis and Whitlock works better as its close to an even contest between them.
Then the next group can be the six 25/1,33/1 shots from the odds.
The rest would be fine.

As an aside, I was reading about how some of the amateurs qualify.
Couple of hundred players throw 15 darts, the top 16 scorers are seeded 1-16 and play off over the best of 3 legs for 8 spots at Bolton.
Chap off the Betfair forum got through.

Pick Jamie Caven.
Back Jamie Caven e/w too. Easily the best 66/1 shot in history of betting. Was 200/1+ a week ago. The darts he played last weekend were better than anyone has done this year on the floor. He won tournaments on Sat and Sun.
Thornton at 25/1 is a good e/w too.
Klassen will win games and probably worth a small e/w punt. Was amazing on Sunday. He is 100/1 on PP.
William O'Connor will win his first two games too so back him cause he is Irish.
