Again putting this up the night before in case I don't get home till close to KO time. Looks pretty dull fayre but potentially the game of the round on so hopefully it doesn't disappoint 
Steve Beaton v Kyle Anderson:
First match of the night sees Beaton take on the aussie qualifier Anderson. Beaton is a funny player in the fact he can average 100 over 15 legs or average 70 over 10 legs. Never consistent but great to watch as his throwing action is one of the purest in darts. I know nothing about Anderson other than he qualified for this via winning the Oceanic masters. Wiki says he is a BDO player but I assume he has now switched? Beaton should win but prices are nothing to write home about and never keen on supporting Steve to win the h'cap as he so often switches off during matches.
Recommendation: No Bet
Lourence Ilagan v Jamie Lewis:
Tonight's qualifier sees Phillipines player Ilagan taken on Lewis. Ilagan is a former world masters semi finalist in the BDO and from memory isn't too shabby a chucker. Lewis is a young welsh player who qualified for this via the PDC order of merit on the youth tour. I've read a lot of good reports about Lewis so looking forward to this from a viewing perspective but no bet for me.
Recommendation: No Bet
Wes Newton v Johnny Haines:
Newton is finally starting to fulfill some of his potential and is knocking on the door of the PL and the top 4 in the world if he goes deep here. I think at times his attitude can be a bit iffy but he is definitely a dangerous opponent and doesn't often lose to lowly ranked players. Haines is a 48 year old player making his debut at Ally Pally and hasn't had a great year on tour judged on his results losing a lot of 1st and 2nd round games. I'd be surprised if he can live with Newton here but at a shade of odds on I don't fancy backing a whitewash either.
Recommendation: No Bet
Mervyn King v Dean Winstanley:
Since the draw was made this was one of the matches I was really looking forward to watching. I like both players style and both are capable of big scores and missing lots of doubles. Match odds look about right as I'd have Merv as slight favourite and the bet I like is over 7 maxes. This bet needs 4 sets minimum to have a chance I think but looking at the match I can see at least 4 or 5 sets and hopefully lots of tight legs. Both are capable of big hitting and as such lets hope they can muster the 8 we need between them.
Recommendation: 2pts win over 7.5 maxes @ 5/6 (General)
Colin Osborne v Ilagan/Lewis:
Final match sees one of the seeds who I always try to oppose in Ossie taking on the qualifier. Again its hard to say until you know who he is playing but if Ossie is too short I'd happily have a small lay of him as he lets you down more than he delivers on tv these days.
Recommendation: No Bet (At the moment)
Summary: All about 1 bet really as I strongly think the King match will have lots of heavy scoring in it. All opinions and other bets welcome from the regulars and hopefully we can have some fun along the way

yeah I think he was thinking about just setting it up but then decided to go for it
On 28 after 12 for the set and the dick hits a 164 kill
My horses just keep finding new ways to lose sets.
Any chance of commentating on the match John instead of wandering down memory lane at Wimbledon?
i think you'll agree if it goes 2-0 its a blow to Ilagan? seriously is this cretin taking the mickey now

6-5ish. He's a big fav over Baxter but I kind of prefer the over 3.5 if you can manage to get on.
What makes you so confident about this, both lines look spot on to me?
Unreal he almost burst that 78 too and he's somehow 2 up 
Some of the 3-0's have been horror shows tho. They look comfy if you just look at the result but they've been far from it
Osborne plays such boring darts. And he even looks boring.

Too many favourite scraping through.
Short matches.
Pains me to admit it, but Osbourne's actually playing very well
He looks like the man in the pub who, while everyone else is talking about football, he is chatting to the barman about different types of tractors he has seen.
Almost 95 average from a guy who has played like a drain all year. Bit like Webster last night 
yep, the place will be empty by the time this game is done.
Ossie shrewdly banking his opponent wouldnt hit 99.
Osborne was on 68 with 2 in his hand right? Thought Pearson would have called it.
Yep 88 with 3 and thought he had an unmissable lie after his first dart at t20
Ilagan needs to stop going for the bull with his score in the 400s.
i can imagine osborne with a pipe and slippers moaning to his wife about the price of cornflakes while she has immoral thoughts about the bloke next door
Osborne's not had a bad leg all match. Which wasn't really in the plan.
He takes ten minutes just to throw the single 20.
another 3-0 layer signing in (and did likewise for newton and beaton)
a truly incredible night for the uninformed mugs
a truly incredible night for the uninformed mugs
aint seen osbournes misses yet. if shes left him its fully undeestandable
osborne is missing his target by an inch or more a lot
unfathomable that he has hit any doubles at all, let alone the bull for 164
unfathomable that he has hit any doubles at all, let alone the bull for 164
I reckon ossie probably hits a 170 check at 2-2 in this set with Ilagan on 40
to be fair Eldrick, our man Lourence misses by several inches a fair amount
what price ilagan gets down to 40 with osborne left on 350 odd next leg and still manages to lose set please?
If Larry is the shortened form of Laurence wouldn't the equivalent for Lourence be Lorry?
Pipe wiping out six drunks with one punch in the background
If this goes into a 4th set I honestly think the crowd will all have left
only audience remaining are the homeless,the drunk and the unconouis
That awkward moment where you turn round to celebrate to the crowd and discover there isn't one.
He should change his nickname from Ozzy to Dozy
It seems the suspicions you guys have about the commentators reading the I/R thread are true, as there's a 'thriller in Manila' reference and the bastards thought they'd piss me off in omitting any mention of Colin's yo-yo antics 
PS - anyone reckon Ossie's Mrs. is vagazzled?
She just HAS TO spice things up with him!
Never mind Sara...there's always my greasy pit available for you

wish that had gone in rather than **** us about like this
Disappointing but finishes just as the basketball starts.
Talking of Pipe's fighting abilities, did you hear that he was set upon by five youths in an alley last night? He managed to knock one out. Not the bast time for a wank but it could have been his last!

you aren't allowed to bet on BB anymore, remember?
i hope they don`t interview osborne,it will tip me over the edge

Im outta here. Same place tomorrow guys, maybe the underdogs can win a set ...

More like guessing chipolatas
Underdogs missed darts for five of the 9 sets in the three matches, in six different legs i think. does that sound right?
Can't be arsed to work it out, but sounds about right yes.
Kyle:
Set 1 Leg 4 - 1 dart at bull to win set 1 (Beaton took out 55)
Set 1 Leg 5 - Beaton takes 12 darts to finish 85, Kyle had 6 darts from 133, left on 20
Set 2 Leg 4 - Kyle has a shot at 104 for set, leaves tops, Beaton checks 38
Set 2 Leg 5 - Kyle has a shot at 70, leaves 32, Beaton checks out 16 having messed up on 47 before
=======
Haines:
Set 1 Leg 4 - Haines has a shot at 100 to win set, leaves 56 (Newton checks 32)
Set 2 Leg 2 - Haines has 9 darts at 66, misses several big chances to break throw
(Haines misses darts for double in first two legs set 3, loses set 3-0)
=======
Ilagan:
Set 2 Leg 3 - Ilagan misses d14 for 121 check, almost on the wire. Ossie checks 164
Set 2 Leg 4 - Ossie checks 108 with Ilagan on 90ish?
Set 2 Leg 5 - Ossie almost busts 78 with 2nd dart close to t20, wins on same visit
Set 3 Leg 4 - Ilagan misses darts for set? Not sure
Set 3 Leg 5 - Ilagan misses one dart at d16 for set (by a country mile)
Set 1 Leg 4 - 1 dart at bull to win set 1 (Beaton took out 55)
Set 1 Leg 5 - Beaton takes 12 darts to finish 85, Kyle had 6 darts from 133, left on 20

Set 3 Leg 5 - Ilagan misses one dart at d16 for set (by a country mile)
Ossie hasn't had an average of 94+ on tv for 18 months
Newton and Beaton just took all the clutch doubles. Neither played well (though Beaton did hammer in 5 maxes just to gub anyone backing his oppt to hit some 180s) but they never panicked either
The 3-0 backers have got away with some stunningly bad bets this evening
Enjoy the cash

I think I've gone 1-7 so far laying this type of 3-0s which were trading evens to 5-4ish when they were probably 2-1 shots.
