IT'S COBRA TIME

even takes all day kissing the family

I think there's something in the Newton theory v the top ranked players. But a large portion of those results were in the PL which he basically just didn't cope too well with in alien surroundings and atmosphere. Not saying you can stick a line through that but can make an argument that circumstances were a little different to normal. And he actually drew with Thornton in the PL in any case.

And the other defeats mainly over relatively long course games against players he's rated inferior to and was generally decent underdog in. His record wouldn't be too far away from what could reasonably be expected.

Thornton definitely favourite but it's a horrible price now.

I'm off to study an aeronautics degree and build a plane to get me into space... I'll check back in when I'm done, see how the first sets goin!

Afternoon Lori hope you had a good one mate

That treble seems enormous again

you've probably done your dough if you backed this game to end 0-0, although i have heard seismologists think there could be a major earthquake in the uk somewhere in the next 80 years

could be tight

Pipe just letting him off the hook here

My lighter darts sit exactly the same as Pipe's. Aim at bottom wire of the T20 for maximum effect. It's also a good way to focus. My heavier darts tend to sit up (depending where i hold the barrel) and aiming at the top wire of T20 can create lazy darts, ie big 20's, 1's & 5's. I'll get me anorak

Sorry marychain, you've got time to nip out for lunch.

Devon playing his 'get out of jail free card' early - I've backed the 2.5+ set at what was a surprisingly generous 6/5 when it was odds-on with the rest so obviously I want at least another set...dodged a bullet there as I expect Pipey was very short I/R for the first set.

Playing pretty well and his finishing has been excellent too

Done pipe @ 8/11 in-play and will go in again if 0-2 sets down

I'm not so sure he looks at it here. Devon is growing in confidence and has nothing to lose really

pipe 2/9 doubles - very unlucky with his dart for tops to stay in set 2, could not have been closer

might have to ring newton and tell him to start driving down from fleetwood now the way this match has gone so far

Some dodgy darts from Petersen in that last leg and he got away with it - starting to get hopeful about my 250/1 to win the quarter now and if he gets through this, Wade is nothing to fear tomorrow night given the awful form he's in, though that's when he usually produces something unexpected.

Cracking looking bet NG, good luck!

despite the lack of any atmosphere, this is a quality game - better than average so far

yes NG , but means u can lay off some , to guarantee some profit
