I'd lay that 1/2 for England!
Even 4/5 is abominable as I'd have Lewis favourite. It's a ridiculous price considering Adie can strike the same vein of form on the maximums like Anderson, and has developed into a more consistent player too, with far fewer quirks! Anderson may still be the best lipstick smasher the game has EVER seen, but there's plenty of mental baggage there too, and he seems like a time bomb to me! I thought the 5/6 for Anderson for more 180's against Whitlock (World Champs QF) was as good an odds-on bet as it gets! He somehow managed to ransack the value in it with his dodgy temperament  He most certainly deserves a Timeform squiggle, even though I'd love to see him crowned a world champion ASAP! |

If you would have Lewis as favourite - it is time to give up the game.

thats a nailed on bet its just i hate having to wait weeks to pick up the winnings. he mightnt do it every night but over all the weeks he wont be beaten on the maxes. hes 5/2 most maxes tonight and if you could get that each week you'd be well in profit by the end of the league format. as far as i remember last year he started the first week 5/2 and was 5/4 or less for the same bet come the last few weeks. none of the 2 new additions will trouble him 90% of the weeks and lewis can hit them sometimes but other days hel only get a couple. andersons 180s/legs ratio is much higher than anyone else and im hoping he comes out the gate fast on the maxes tonight and that 5/2 won't be seen again til next year.

Adie Lewis at 7/1 with Chandler is an exceptional price...Anderson should be re-named 'The LYING Scotsman' because he ALWAYS fails to produce the goods!
1/2 is insanely bad value. |
|
By:
lewis has too many off days on the maxes. anderson isnt as dependable as he used to be but hes still the best max hitter in the game bar none.
|

By:
JJU - that's a fair appraisal but 1/2 and 7/1 seems hugely disparate to me.
E/W if possible is a bet to nothing on Lewis, who realistically, is the only rival to Anderson on the maxes. He can hit most other players' quota in a ten minute patch, and invariably, they come from absolutely nowhere! |

Stupidest comment I've ever read on here Hugh. Always fails... apart from winning the fecking thing last year and ending up miles ahead on 180s.

By:
CLA - he's regressing and I'm sick of defending him!
I've said before that he'd be a worthy world champion, and I'd love to see him do it, but he is just not reliable nowadays. PS - are there any stats out there for last year's maxes in the PL and other tournaments? I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised to see him way ahead though that still wouldn't justify a 1/2 quote. |

Is it for League format only? or whole tourney?
|

By:
I'd have Ando in for about 12 more 180s than anyone else during the league stages. He's about 0.37/leg. Lewis 0.30, Whitlock only a smidge behind Lewis.

Always fails... apart from winning the fecking thing last year and ending up miles ahead on 180s. It seems after tonight's games that I'm not as much of a mug as YOU think!  1/2 Anderson with ALL his quirks, against 7/1 Lewis, who's just getting better by the tournament! Utter stupidity in comparison, and I stand by that! It's all about value mate  Even in my wildest hallucinations, I couldn't have seen Anderson in that position (Lewis with three darts at tops, crowd on his back, and missed the first two) securing a guaranteed point! That's where Gary won't ever change his spots...he's too long in the tooth with lots of wretched form for such collapses. It's no coincidence in last year's World Champ's that Lewis saved his best game until the final, and Anderson played his worst! I really like the Jock but 'res ipsa loquitur'...the facts speak for themselves  |
|
By:
im having to agree with ya on this one Hugo. his dependability has totally gone the last few months and id have severe reservations backing him again until I see a dramatic turnaround in form.
|
|
By:
I backed Lewis @ 6.50.
He will have 2 more games than Anderson as Anderson hasnt a hope in hell of getting anywhere near the top 4. (6th place finish this year) |

"Adie Lewis at 7/1 with Chandler is an exceptional price...Anderson should be re-named 'The LYING Scotsman' because he ALWAYS fails to produce the goods!
1/2 is insanely bad value" Above was posted BEFORE a dart was thrown on night one - am I still THAT wide of the mark guys? The 180 totals after night 2 are grim reading for the MANIACS who backed Anderson as low as 1/2, as he's now out to 9/4  I hate to tell you guys I told you so, but I told you so and I was adamant!Anderson was utter balls in his victory over Hamilton, and he's gonna have to find some form from nowhere really soon, if that gap of six to Lewis isn't extended this Thursday. Number of 180's after 2 weeks and latest best price: Hamilton 10 14/1 Taylor 10 5/1 Lewis 9 5/2 Barney 9 14/1 Whitlock 7 4/1 Wade 6 50/1 Painter 3 80/1 Anderson 3 9/4 |

By:
PS - I see Anderson's up against Wade this week and for me, he has it all to do to snatch a draw!
Wade has been far better than The Jock in the two previous weeks despite being without a point, and will be 2/1 to win. Wade's two averages in defeat have been 91.2 (56% on doubles) & 96.1 (18%) Anderson has struggled with 80.8 (21%) & 85 (47%) It's clear that Anderson hasn't played well for some time, and until he shows some form, he's definitely one to avoid. |

This is a thread to savour!
 Good to see no real back biting over some comments that could have made things ugly. It goes to show Hugh has a good temperament by not slinging his toys out after some low flying digs at him  I'd put it down to his 2am drinking habit plus not giving a fig either way haha. Roll on week 3 and more ridicule (for some) Looking at Hugh's 180's stats & prices i'd stick a few coins on Barney most 180's (9 so far) @ 14/1 FTR, Barney was/is the only player i feared if/when lumping on Taylor to win a tourney. When Barney's on song he's a joy to watch. He was 20/1 to win premier league from the outset...A massive swerve for me at the time...It's a funny old game Greavsie |

By:
D&B - Barney's resurgence has been nice to see, though I fear his Nemesis (and everyone else's) Taylor is in smashing form right now, and I can't see anything but a beating for RVB tomorrow.
THEN...we'll see the week after how he responds to the trauma of another Taylor mauling, so I'm not so sure about your 180 advice. It doesn't take much to knock him off his stride nowadays, even when he has those smooth patches, and a typical Taylor finish off something like 137 early on, will visibly hurt Barney...then he'll crumble! I wonder if there's E/W betting on this market, because at 50/1, James Wade (who's yet to really find top form) is only a few behind, although he doesn't seem to hit them like he used to. |

22 Feb 12 15:52 D&B, I'm not so sure about your 180 advice. It's not advice Hugh, or even a demand to lump on lol 50p @ 14/1 won't hurt my pocket  Just had a little chuckle @ forumite Win only - Sp only's avatar. Ooooooh the irony of the OP hahaha |

I'm thinking of weighing in 3 figures on Gary now he is back in the groove. Was going to back him from outset but thought odds were a little skinny.Should be a fast free flowing 180 fest on Thurs with him playing Lewis.If he knocks in another 5 the 3/1 wont be around for long. Might have a side order of Hammer available at 10's

C'mon Barney. He ain't 14/1 now

By:
Surprised Anderson now as big as 3/1 - Plenty of time to get on terms and playing well again so semi finals look a gimme at least. Should be clear favourite imo

Barney 6/1
Ando out to 7/2 |

By:
Calm Down La - you seem to have gone AWOL mate
Lewis now best priced 2/1 and Gary out to 7/2! 7/1 & 1/2 at the start, so I'd say I was on the ball with the DISPARITY, which is the point I was trying to make. I remember Anderson smashing in about 15 against Whitlock last year, and there's a chance that could happen again as he's gradually hitting his stride - I have a sneaky feeling you'll reappear then There's really only Lewis capable of the same devastating max-hitting, and I still have a suspicion he'll hit 10 one night, and that cushion of six he has on Anderson could become a chasm! I've noticed recently that Adie's been hitting the first two trebles, and it's looked odds-on that the next would follow - it hasn't been happening for him, but it WILL come! |

There's only Skybet offering odds on this right now;
8/11 Lewis (24 maxes) 3/1 Taylor (23) 11/2 Whitlock (18) 8/1 Anderson (14) 16/1 Barneveld (21) 33/1 Hamilton (18) 500 Wade (12) 1000 Painter (10) It's so ironic now, that the corresponding kick-off prices for Anderson & Lewis have been turned upside down If there'd have been a Betfair book on this (which there should have been, so get complaining guys) NOW as he's odds-on is the time to lay Lewis! |

Anderson is so erratic. When his opponents are high prices I always bet them unless its an absolute chump of a player, total bottle merchant. Wasn't he involved a match fixing scandal with his buddy Darryl Fitton a few years ago too?
|

By:
LPS - wasn't it his other mate Gary Robson, not Fitton?
 180 count after week 7; Lewis......35 Barneveld..29 Taylor.....26 Whitlock...26 Hamilton...22 Wade.......21 Anderson...19 Painter....13 |

By:
There was something a bit different with Fitton in the grand slam. Fitton needed a convincing win to progress. If I remember correctly, Fitton couldn't hit a double for his life so Anderson was almost compelled to take one out so won a leg more than he wanted to.
|

By:
It wasn't so much a match fix in terms of betting, more of a job for the boys - bdo boys at that who lets face it are mates looking out for each other. It's something i wouldn't have done if i was playing.

Lewis was fav on the last known market but might not even qualify, so that's well risky whereas barney (16/1)is right up there
