Barney to win 4-0 @ 4/1 some value? Or would be expected to be a tighter affair. Wouldn't mind a bet to make it more exciting tonight

For neutrals, backing the overs on the 180s or the checkouts is a good bet. Lets you funk for both players to score heavily and take out the big 3 dart finishes.

+10.5 180s @ 4/6

Hmmm checkout overs is a little on the big side @ 130.5 at less than evens though so not sure about that. 130 is the biggest finish where you can still hit a single and finish on the bull so hate anything over 128.5 tbh

Taylor and Barney to win to nil 8/1 enhanced odds

Wright, Barney and Taylor to have the most 180's vs opponents tonight is 3.5/1 on Bet365. I think it's a lock.

The strange thing is Taylor is evens vs Smith in this market which seems like a mistake considering Wright and Barney are 4/9 and 4/7.

[Starvin Marvin]

Smith is a prolific scorer when on song.

True. My reasoning is he never showed up in the 1st round and went through with the lowest average of the 1st round winners and 3rd lowest of all the 1st round players. I think the pressure he felt in the first round wont have eased off with the prospect of Taylor last up tonight. Taylor himself is sure to be primed as he will be disappointed for the issues in the 1st round and yet still scored 5 180's.

Yeah I'd agree with that.

I like Smith and think he's the next big thing over the next few years but Taylor will show him no mercy tonight. Needs a good start or he might get crushed.

Could still knock in a few maximums though.

[Flushdraw]

Wright is a fucking cabbage ;(

[White Knight]

Wright is a fucking cabbage ;(

Changing his set of darts to a different type after the 1st round seems strange. And not helping us backers!

[Starvin Marvin]

101 average and he's not even hitting 180s like he can.

No idea how he lost two sets, Laursen just hit by shots at the wrong time.

Yeah, really didn't think my -2.5 HC was in doubt. Bad start. Wright can do a lot better than tonight. Thought the 25/1 for highest match average for Wright was too big a price to turn down.

[thedini]

[Flushdraw]

we are looking good, its a fun bet actually sweating every 3 darts!

[elbows]

Wow, savage stuff

[thedini]

Cracking match, Caven finally stepped up to the mark on tv and showed a lot of bottle. Unlucky to run into an inform Barney.

[eamonhonda]

whats fancied for this match?

[KevIRL]

Best game of the tournament that was for sure

[thedini]

Small nibble Smith most 180's.

[eamonhonda]

over 8.5 180s and over 128.5 checkout for the sweat

[eamonhonda]

early shippage

[TheJiggaman]

Nice to see actors getting a match against Taylor!

[Wesley Harms]

Wow he looks nothing like him, Phil Taylor looks more like Jonah Hill than Michael Smith

[TheJiggaman]

Wow he looks nothing like him, Phil Taylor looks more like Jonah Hill than Michael Smith

Always comes to mind when I see M. Smith anyway

[KevIRL]

Good game this one, Taylor not on top form at all. Can Smith blow the whole tournament wide open?

[Wesley Harms]

Taylor has no chance to win the title, how often has it happened over the yewrs were he has been on a tear winning everything and all of a sudden, one defeat and he goes completely off the boil.

The World championships loss to mardle, the Grand Prix loss to Lewis, plenty of other examples, I'm taking Taylor on big time from here on

[Wesley Harms]

Could do with him winning here though so I can't put operation 'Lay Phil' into overdrive

[Flushdraw]

Deposited on Betfred to take a saver bet on MVG @ 7/2 and it changed to 11/4. Got the 7/2 on Skybet too just incase this goes awry

[thedini]

Smith's some feckin bottler, Taylor should be out.

[Starvin Marvin]

For fuck sake.

He should be on his way home already.

[Wesley Harms]

Epic buckling

[Wesley Harms]

Peter Wright will beat Phil Taylor

[The Situation]

This lad would have beaten Barney

[Wesley Harms]

Really need Phil to win here.

[Wesley Harms]

I'll hate him more here if he gets knocked out without me benefiting financially from it. Please Phil

[KevIRL]

Some leg by Smith there

[Wesley Harms]

Some leg by Smith there

Some bucking again by smith

[thedini]

Small nibble Smith most 180's.

woohoo 6-5, bookies are laughing.

[Wesley Harms]

Haven't been this sick in a long time

[Flushdraw]

First time i go big on Taylor in lots of markets and he doesn't make it past the 2nd round. FML

[The Situation]

Lol Taylor you cunt.

[KevIRL]

Wow. Well done Smith.

Sign the board Taylor! Cant wait for the interview

[Flushdraw]

MVG into Evs now so got on at the right time. Despite losing a nice pile of money, i can go back to funking for Lewis/Taylor and Whitlock/Huybrechts so i'm going to enjoy it a lot more. WP Smith, but Taylor was terrible

[Starvin Marvin]

Ohhhh what a happy day, knew Smith had good things in his future.
Didn't expect it to be today though.

Get the fooook in.
Was roaring home those last few legs.

[eamonhonda]

Fuck it anyway had to go to sleep and missed that

[Lord Sir Banter]

Fuck it anyway had to go to sleep and missed that

Stay out of the black and in the red, there's nothing in this game for two in the bed

[eamonhonda]

went overs on 180s and checkout again for some fun, worked out well last night so we will see!

[KevIRL]

Come on Richie, please knock him out

[White Knight]

Burnett, Thornton and White treble for me tonight. It's not a lock! Basing it on 1st round performances even though Barney was saying he was destroyed by Huybrechts in practice last week!

[kaiser soze]

On burnett +1.5 and white +1.5 2 singles 1 double and white most 180s tonight.Lovin my 100/30 on MVG outright now with taylor gone, really lookin forward to mVG/lewis now has the makings of a classic if they make it of course

[elbows]

Gone burnett 4-3 and checkouts less than 130.5

[Flushdraw]

Burnett, Thornton and White treble for me tonight. It's not a lock!

Huybrechts to win 4-3 would be perfect. Got White +1.5 in this, but conflict of interests with Huybrechts backed overall. On Burnett myself and a small bet on Anderson + 2.5 just so i can cheer against that prick Thornton.

[KevIRL]

Its kinda funny (and ironic) how much Tony hates all the Scots

[Flushdraw]

Ah now, it's only Thornton because everytime i've backed the fucker he's bottled it. Gary Anderson is a close 2nd in the bottler stakes when i've backed him. I like Peter Wright and i've backed Montgomery to win the BDO so piss off you

[KevIRL]

Burnett gone to bits since missing the 3 darts at tops

[Flushdraw]

went overs on 180s and checkout again for some fun, worked out well last night so we will see!

What was the 180s bar set at for this game?
