PDC Perth Darts Masters 22-24 Aug

Why wasn't Adrian Lewis in the Singapore event?
I feel short-changed that he's not in this one as well

Thanks D&B...I hadn't heard that he declined the invitation.

PS - what's happened to Denis Ovens recently?
I put in a search for him and it seems he's relocated to Siberia with his family

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denisovans

Just where the fcuk where they going...Antarctica?
They've been off the radar for ages!

I think the last time I saw Ovens on TV was with that dodgy shoulder business a couple of years ago - there was utter havoc on here with that late information...I'm sure he was playing a young lad...possibly Max Hopp?

"The venue is close to a sell out."

This translates to  we've loads of unsold tickets left.

"There is no live broadcast coverage of the TABtouch Perth Darts Masters.
However, games will be available to watch in www.LIVEPDC.TV in due course."

So the PDC are taking the cream of darts around the world to promote their product, yet the Perth Masters won't be screened live via any tv network, or bookies small screen, let alone Official PDC youtube site, but it will be filmed live for future broadcast?

What's the thinking behind this decision @ PDC HQ, when the following week the Sydney Masters will be shown live (around the world)?

The Sydney Masters is being aired on Challenge TV here in the UK.

Amazed and pleased to see 365 have priced up these first round matches.

I'm even more amazed their odds compiler has the majority of Oceanic players "as no hopers," especially as it's only a race to 6 Legs!!!

365 odds
Michael van Gerwen 1/20 v Kyle Anderson 10/1
Paul Nicholson 1/20 v Shane Tichowitsch 10/1

James Wade 1/10 v Beau Anderson 6/1
Peter Wright 1/33 v Warren Parry 14/1


Phil Taylor 1/100 v David Platt 25/1
Raymond van Barneveld 1/40 v Loz Ryder 16/1

Dave Chisnall 1/40 v Justin Miles 16/1
Simon Whitlock 1/80 v Vinay Cooper 22/1


I've done three at the prices:
Shane Tichowitsch 10/1 ~ 1pt
Warren Parry 14/1 ~ 1pt
Loz Ryder 16/1 ~ 1pt

Nicho should never be 1/20 for any game, even a pot bellied dwarf on stilts.

id like to lay that 1/2 for all 8 jollies  to win.

Nobby, not sure my 3 figure bank would make a dent.
Does my pet hate of unrealistic 1,000 price backs appease you?

Nicho wins 6-2

Bob Dylan - Everything Is Broken
http://vimeo.com/75113425


Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken.

Broken PDC Links.

Broken lines, broken strings,
Broken threads, broken springs,
Broken idols, broken heads,
People sleeping in broken beds.
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken.

Broken bottles, broken plates,
Broken switches, broken gates,
Broken dishes, broken parts,
Streets are filled with broken hearts.
Broken words never meant to be spoken,
Everything is broken.

Bridge: Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground

Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices on broken phones.
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Everything is broken.

Bridge: Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face

Broken hands on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending broken rules.
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking,
Everything is broken.
