Strange old day yesterday with 2 x 9 darters but both players losing but the tournament has started off really well in my view. Some interesting looking games tonight as well so hopefully some decent bets to be had 
Dave Chisnall v John Henderson:
First game of the day could be a complete 180 fest as both players are capable of mullering the treble bed. Chisnall has had a bit of an up and down year but did make the grand prix final in Ireland and will be looking for a good run here to maybe force his way into the premier league. If his usual game applies we'll see lots of heavy scoring and lots of missed doubles but he's always entertaining. Henderson has seemingly had a bad injury and was fearing for his career but now thinks he's over his issues. Again he's a very heavy scorer and given how many he could hit in the BDO he should have a field day on the PDC board. The max line is set at 8.5 and the only way I can't see this being covered is if Chisnall somehow runs away with this. Given his penchant for missing doubles though I cannot see that happening.
Recommendation: 1pt win over 8.5 maxes @ 5/6 (365)
Dennis Lindskjold v Colin Osborne:
Tonight's prelim features danish qualifier Lindskjold v late replacement Osborne. I must confess to knowing not a lot about the dane but on the whole the qualifiers have performed pretty well and in a best of 7 he must have a chance v a woeful Osborne. Ossie was meant to miss out but due to visa problems for one of the players he got a late reprieve but whether it helps him remains to be seen. I believe the dane was 7/1 early which was enormous and even at 7/2 he might be a bit big as Ossie really is only going 1 way. I missed the early prices though so happy to let the regulars bet the rag again
Recommendation: No Bet
Ray Barneveld v Jamie Lewis:
Barney opens up with a R1 match v welsh player Jamie Lewis. Barney is a complete enigma and could average anything between 110 and 85 tonight. He did play tremendously in R1 last year though so maybe he's best early on. Lewis is a player with a bit of a reputation for hitting maxes but the limited times I've seen him on tv I wasn't convinced as he has a very unorthodox action. Was looking to maybe support Barney on the maxes but I have a nagging doubt about his attitude and also feel this might be a 1.01 train from early on so going to watch and maybe play in running.
Recommendation: No Bet
Brendan Dolan v winning qualifier:
If Osborne wins the qualifier I might go and put needles in my eyes as the prospect of him v Dolan sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. I don't have a view but lets hope the dane is here and I might play him at large odds to beat the dreadfully average Dolan.
Recommendation: No Bet
Jamie Caven v Jelle Klaasen:
Last game of the evening should be a quick fire affair as both players like to get on with things. Caven is definitely in the category of better on the floor than TV and I have a theory that he's always better when on in the afternoon or early evening. Not sure how well he will cope with being last up but will find out I suppose. Klaasen has actually did well to get back up the rankings from where he was after his layoff for off the oche activities but the twice I've seen him since his throwing action has got even more unpredictable. I think Caven will win but odds look right so hopefully just enjoy an entertaining match.
Recommendation: No Bet
Summary: 1 bet in the opener that hopefully cops but some very good looking matches (+ Dolan) to enjoy tonight. Best of luck to all punting and all views and banter as always is welcome.

if this goes the distance the ashes test will have re-started before this is over.
osborne chucked a 180 and did the twirly finger as he went to the board, which was definitely a pi$$ take out of dolan's 180 celebration
ashes may even be over
with englands batting

there won't be a big hug at the end of this one
dolan twirly finger for twice as long there
making damn sure osborne knows who the best finger twirler on this stage is

Osborne was a junior champion at twirling fingers
Anyone else praying for a 180 and a finger twirl there?
how shyte has Osborne played, if he played the pre lim again im sure hed lose it
Has anyone ever seen any evidence Osborne was a child prodigy in any of the events the commentators list on his cv
Any footage of him winning the kart races in Pat Sharp's funhouse doing the rounds?
prelim was very interesting - leg 1 dennis had 4 very solid visits, but then nowhere near his doubles and took three visits to get out from 24
osborne seemed to pick up on that and it seemed to spur him on. 122 check on bull in leg 2, meanwhile dennis' arm had gone to pieces, couldn't buy a treble to save his life
legs were still scrappy, but osborne looked far more likely to hit a double and his game improved massively, if only for 4 legs (was sub 70 leg 1, and not through missing lots of doubles)
also watching dennis while osborne was throwing, he looked like he was getting a little bit annoyed at how slowly osborne was chucking

Ive read that Philpott thing a few times and cant quite make sense of it. He phoned Osborn and then said someone phoned him?
Oh, nm i get it now, he was driving ozborne to a match for some reason.
bf are constantly misspelling Jamie's surname
It's Cave-In

Always the chance you might see some history from Doley Latalomne
I absolutely LOATHE watching these slow players...it makes things even worse when you have a bet on the fcukers! 
If Hendo plays him and it takes this long, he might BE history by the end.
Hendo was an incredible shade of purple at one stage. Amazed he ended up winning that.
2-1 on 180s..need nolan to win to level my p an l for this match...
Hendo was breathing like he climbed everest for a fish supper by the end of the game.
if I was playing dolan , after the match id breajk that fkn finger off and stick it up his fat arse
I think we will lok back and think how on easrth did he win that pre ;im match
I thought klassen was pretty good? not heard of this guy he is playing
heres another guy whos considrr a "great fllor "player but hardly ever wins a game on the box, ill be against old one eye @1.6ish
Playing loverman to Jamie Caven???
Truly taking the pi55!

I'm already in profit on Caven, backed him earlier at 1.73
I've warmed to Jabba over the last year or so...he's a decent scorer on a good day.
PS - he looks like an even baldier Alan Shearer

if I remember rightly isn't jabbas bird tidy.
Klaasen +1.5, Over 8.5 180's, Klaasen Highest checkout
Sicko - don't think she is squire...even I wouldn't 
my memory isn't what it was, im an old man
Klaasen has the best doubling stats in world darts? 
Is that another Mardle 'fact' perhaps?

Sicko - see what I mean?
AND I've had a skinful!!!
AND I've had a skinful!!!
oh I don't know, if she put a bit of slap on you would
Nah...I was lying mate - of course I fcukin' would
theres a certain night club in Benidorm where shed be the prize target
as someone who has lost a modest fortune on klaasen and his inability to hit doubles, i would say that stat was utter $hite
Amazingly, there's some truth in what Mardle says.
I thought Jabba was nailed on for 4 maxes in a match that was likely to go 5 sets - zero so far and every sign it'll be a 3-0 romp 
I thought 4 sets was guaranteed.

wayne says klasses switching too much , I don't think that's the case hes just missing the 6o by a long way

well they all look fecked
Silver - where do you find all these stats?
My mental database tells me that Klaasen is a woeful finisher

But there almost certainly isn't any truth in it if you go back further than a couple of years
ive always just thought klassen to be totally up and down , not only from night to night but game to game set to set
Can't remember seeing him switch as crazily as this before.
Orders from uncle Barry to not make the big trebles obvious.
That actually looked well sus!

Klassen wont hit higher checkout than 158 so thats 1 out of 3, he keeps switching so no 180s, thats 2 out of 3 and klassen hasnt won a leg yet so thats 3 out of 3 loses
so he'll be back near the bottom after this game then
more brilliant finishing to add to klassens stats
The night sure has gone downhill since Chisnall v Henderson
looking like knocking out some of my footy profits from today, that said ive been so wrong on the darts tonight and this will only be the second game of actually loston.
I've layed off at 1.07 for a nice profit and I'm off to bed. Catch up with you gents on Wednesday as I'm away for a couple of days.
I think chizzys a t0sser but hed have beaten anyone bar barney (maybe caven this game) tonight
That was well dodgy from Jabba...I think Silverback's theory might be right 
Not been paying attention so may have missed obvious reasons for it but he seems to have made a couple of very very strange switches
you get the feeling caven may bottle this. Small lay at the odds.
caven 82 avg, despite looking like he has been having the match of his (tv) career
had t lay 1.1 caven with his previous for seei ng the job thru
hope barney smashes him next round! he ruined my 180 bet :P
