I think 4-1 Rowby to beat Barney is massive.
The wee man has been good on the floor this year and Raymond is gone at the game.

Cant believe I put that post about 1cm under a massive picture of Danni Alfree.
Ive lost it

Six days go - Not quite the world champs venue, but a nice pre-cursor to similar goings on with the pissed up ally pally baying crowd.

PDC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - TOTAL TOURNAMENT 180S - Susan's Special:

OVER 595.5 ~ 4/6
UNDER 595.5 ~ 11/10

Based on the current trend of increased 180's rolling in, Overs looks set to be smashed. I'm on, 3 to win 2.

Does that include the preliminary round?

D&B - where are the stats for the total 180's over the years to be found online?
PS - and as ever...WHY isn't that line raised just a tad so they can go 10/11 on both?

Anyone think this guy has the form to win the Worlds?

Does that include the preliminary round?

Yes MJ. Prelims are part of the World Champs. For reassurance email Susan.

I'm more than happy with 3 to win 2. A gift reminiscent to the good old days of Taylor trading at the same price to walz tourneys. Best bet of the tournament so far in my eyes. £30 on yesterday and another £30 today. Don't have the funds for £300

Naval, a bit of self penned homework. The last three years of total 180's stats can be found on the world champs comp thread that no one gives a feck about. http://community.betfair.com/darts/go/thread/view/94054/30396585/?pg=last#542613431


Also on wiki and links to planet darts. Just tally up each players 180's. Lazy fecker.

Which Player will score the Most 180's in the World Champs? (Only these 16 count)

Michael Van Gerwen 2/1
Gary Anderson 10/3
Adrian Lewis 9/2
Phil Taylor 6/1

Dave Chisnall 11/1
Stephen Bunting 20/1
Kim Huybrechts 50/1
Michael Smith 50/1

Raymond Van Barneveld 50/1
Robert Thornton 50/1
Simon Whitlock 50/1
Terry Jenkins 50/1

James Wade 100/1
Mervyn King 100/1
Peter Wright 100/1
Wes Newton 100/1

What's that Polly. You fancy me to get the most 180's @ 10/3, and to win the World Champs?

4 days to go - James Richardson Legendary Walk On PDC 2012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Zalgnv_EQ

DnB would the 11/4 for 2 or more 9 darters appeal to you ?

Cullen is 14/1 to win and 12/1 to win + Both players win a set

That is impossible

Rob - that's far from appealing to me even though last year it happened in consecutive matches on the fourth day (Saturday) - the Kyle Anderson one was nearly as painful to me as it was for Terry Jenkins who had his bonanza halved...mine was totally wiped out as that incredible 9-darter from the unknown Abo cost me well over a grand!

D&B - that was a great clip which seeing it on youtube again somehow didn't seem to do it justice...that looked so much better on one of my DVDs (with maximum volume and after a few jars) a few years ago and I remember being in bulk at that when it happened.
I'm sure you realise it's DAVE Richardson (never heard of him) that's in the first round and not THE James Richardson who astonished Barney.

Good luck to the guy...he looked like he was plucked straight from the local boozer (that could be YOU one day ) and he milked it in spades by having a more than catchy song before that 'nobody' conducted the audience and turned into Herbert Von Karajan

The win over RVB must've given a lot of hope for many quality County players (who are virtually anonymous) when they see how James Richardson performed...if memory serves he hit TWO 145 checkouts when he finished of Barneveld - that was fantastic to watch.

cant wait for the werner 180 for 180k ladder challenge.

BigRob1, most things appeal to me in darts, like when a market forms to NOT achieve something. It can be more appealing, and though it doesn't answer the question, it sure helps me try to improve my typing speed.

P.S. I backed a 9 darter to be hit in the worlds way back when at 8/11 hills. Not ashamed to say I have since traded it with NO 9 darter @ 8/5 susan for a 1.2pt profit.

I'm like the bloke who staked 17p on a correct score 4fold in the footy and cashed out in play for £4.58. The bet copped and would have returned over £3k if only he'd fecked off to a desert island on the night.

11/4 for 2 or more 9 darters...the more i look at it the less attractive a proposition it becomes. Some of us posters are mere mathematical junkies with a piss poor bank balance. Who's to say which way the darts gods will go in terms of total 9 darters? It's your option - go for it.

can anyone please tell me how the draw works, is it like tennis where you know who you might face next round ?
or is it like the fa cup, where its drawn out of a hat each round ?

marychain1,

Cullen stands out as a bad example, as hills have him to win the match @ 11/1, and 12/1 with both winning a set.

Some cracking alternatives. Each of the matches where the jolly is @ 1/4, and a shade odds on with both winning a a set is far more appealing to some.

King is 1/6 to beat Hopp, yet only 10/11 to win the match with both winning a set.
Maximus is somewhat of a teenage sensation. In terms of German darts he's billed as the next big thing. That's a bet that needs looking into.

The secret to the bet is hoping a selection throws first in sets 1 & 3 for a 3-0 outcome, and vice versa for copping a set.

I've already done some rags to win @ 4/1, and also on the h'cap. Gerwyn is one of the 4/1 rags, (forget Jamie) Gerwyn is set to become the new sensation in Welsh darts. He's built like a rugby player, because he was/is a rugby player. Dr Rod has analysed him several times and said his physique is all wrong for a dart player. This is a player who continuously reels off 95+ averages match after match on the floor tour and slays the players who stand before him (the elite included). Time to move along as i've already sang his praises in a previous piece.

Yes, you can see the draw/format. You'll find the draw bracket and round by round format there...

Semi finals - Winner of 1st 1/4 v winner of 2nd 1/4
Semi finals - Winner of 1st 1/4 v winner of 2nd 1/4

Final - Winner of 1/2 v Winner 3/4

Also this link to wiki is helpful for future reference as it should include match on match stats/averages....

Any questions just shout up. Several accommodating peasants roam the darts forum. P.S. Pauliow's yer man for perv watch.

^ I'll try the colour code thingy again...See the post on the opening page of this thread dated 02 Dec 14 15:48

NG, I'm mortified to read of you comparing James as a mere county player. (Though reading your post back you never actually said it). Feck to editing the opening sentence out as i quite like it.

The bloke is proper quality and can often be seen hoovering up money comps throughout the length and breadth of the UK. A proper dogged little character is James (and yes i sure as feck didn't get him mixed up with the Aussie).

P.S. James was in the group i chalked for. In his opening match he proper dismantled The Bullet Stephen Bunting. His son Josh is a bit of a talent too and currently mixes it on the pdc youth tour.

I'm running late but lastly, lanza.

I agree about taking some of the jollies to win (conceding a set). I was looking at MVG and others.

kinks eh

1st round - Best of 5 sets (best of 5 legs per set)

Hills are in - Total match 180's - Part v Keegan
Over 6.5 @ 8/11
Under 6.5 @ 1/1

Minimum of 9 legs
Maximum of 25 legs

Just done a quick equation. (How long should it take)?

16 legs played in 4 sets.
5x180's max.

Unders @ 1/1

Thoughts?

nice catchy tune that, but you was right with the top one.
named after a very boozy night in france on a baccy run, cleaned the hotel out of brandy and ended up on the armagnac from advice of the bartender ..very smooth drink i might add.
in fact me and my mate was still supping while the regulars were tucking into there morning croissants

dnb....

Great insight arm.

I used to make croissants (as well as many fine danish pastries) during my bakery days - some 25 years ago.

Fellow forumites...(i'll pop this in here out of the way).
This website came up during a conversation at a meeting i was in today. Amongst other things it stops snoopers and those seeking your "ISP" address, so i'm more than happy to share it. It's been available since 2002 so i'm somewhat behind the times but better late than never. I hear that certain people open "new online accounts" worth several £100's of pounds in free bets under different guises on a regular basis as the isp addy changes with every log in. That's going off a tangent and no concern of mine. Viva La Revolution...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoz0hW79hOI


Here's the website...

You stole my picture marychain

that is a pic worth stealing

DNB - i bet you took a few cakes home with ya too

We used to overload the donuts with jam/choc/custard etc, and tuck in.

One carp story. A work colleague got caught eating a chocolate eclair by the big boss man. He was given two choices - Either cough up £50 or get the sack.

Total Tournament 180's - Hills have just posted prices.

OVER 599.5 @ 5/6
UNDER 599.5 @ 5/6

I often bitch n moan about 5/6 each of 2, but 30 to win 25 is better than 30 to win 20.
Would much prefer 10/11 but not waiting in hope for it to appear so dipped into the coffers and put another 30 down.

Also, Klaasen & Kist individual 180's prices are now available, courtesy of our german friends.

50 nicker eh, must of included previous snacks he probably had

Looking at doing a Lucky 15 on some first round outsiders... thinking Rowby, Sulovic and Pallet with maybe Gilding... any views?

colupaul,
Another option could be to also back players on the match h'cap.

I'll post this separately and stick my ramblings below...

...Following on from above...Barneveld is totally fecked up both physically and mentally right now - One to avoid!


Rowby John Rodriguez has been a revelation this season. His totally over the top celebrations from just winning a leg against Thornton was a sight to behold. He really got under the thorns skin that day. (Think of Wright when he stops and turns to the crowd before going for a double, and an exaggerated MVG celebration). Neither came close to Rowby's antics.

Sadly, Rowby has since reeled in his "Chainsaw" celebrations - One to keep onside in 180's markets.


Mensur Suljovic, is one of darts more unusual players. Totally unreliable when it comes to finding a 180 line as you never know when he'll move from the 20's bed for no apparent reason? Mensur's of the more dangerous lower ranked players, and given his opponent [Michael Smith's] latest sulkings, this is the kind of player who could totally bamboozle bullyboy.


David Pallett is the biggest odds of your 4, yet he's one of the most care free players to grace the big stage. No stage fright from this amazingly laid back player. Be prepared for his bizarre switching from the 20's, (normally to the 18's) and the most unusual finishes known in darts. E.G. 101 left, bull, 1, bull


Andrew Gilding has shown some glimpses on the big stage as to why he's not far off the top 32 bracket, thanks to his exploits on the pro tour. A gilding win over Thornton on the box could spell trouble for the remaining players in his 1/4. From what i remember he got battered by an unplayable Adrian Lewis, lost to Taylor, and an in form King, all on tv. Inbetween, he rolled over Darren Webster on the box.

One of my fav stats of gilding is from this year v gary anderson in a pro tour final.
Both players were relentless throughout the match with Ando taking it in the deciding leg:
Ando 6-5 Gilding
Ando 114 average
Gilding 107 ave


colupaul,
I fancy all your selections to win a set (at least). Of the 4, Pallett looks the most likely to lose to nil. Lets hope your rags throw in sets 1 & 3 for maximum chance of covering the h'cap. Most of the entire 1st round rags are odds on to cover their h'cap - Is greed good?


There was a time when the bookies ran scared of opening markets on the darts. Now they have every bet going, which is great news for us Darts Adicts. (One A, as a nod to the band).

Several markets are open to abuse - Only takes 1 bad egg to feck it up and take the snuka match fixing route:

Individual player match 180's.
A player's highest match checkout.
Correct Score.
1st dart thrown in match? (best odds)
20 (4/5)
T20 (6/4)
Other (9/1)

Total score of 1st 3 darts in match?
89 or less 5/4
90-100 24/13
101 or more 21/10

^ ^ ^ Ando average: 111 not 114 (not that it makes much difference).

Total Tournament 180's Odds
Over 595.5 4/6 - lowest line
Under 599.5 5/6 - highest line

Over 595.5 4/6
Under 595.5 11/10

Over 598.5 4/5
Under 598.5 10/11

Over 599.5 5/6
Under 599.5 5/6

Darts n booze iv went a bit backing nuts and have half the field on big prices. Mainly top half in mvg and ando quarters apart from brown Rodriguez and Smith

Mind you saying the other week discount most at start from winning it. So give me a list of the only players you think have a chance of winning this year please. So I can gloat when gilding or pipe win the tourney mate ..only joking about the gloating bit

yes, i'd be very interested too see DnB's value picks as well

ive also done a few, 20 i think

Colupaul and others who don't want to bet big. May I suggest a lucky 15 on winners of there quarters. If your picking outsiders to win there quarters then there are some tasty returns if the 4 shud win you are talking thousands back for 15 ten pence s bet which in total costs you just 1.50 and even a double could return you anything from 20 quid to hundred plus depending on your selection s

Thanks for your input DnB... above and beyond as per usual... take your point re all the different markets... up to 39 per game... value to be eked out if you know what you're looking for... I note Rowby is 4/1 in a place to beat Barny... doubt my indie bookie will give me that, a full point shorter elsewhere...

I was thinking of laying all the favs in-running during the first round... putting up a lay of 1.06 to trade... any thoughts?

ccmac1975 - that's a good call... will be having a go at that... will post my selections up tomorrow with my first round Lucky 15...

Not long to go now!

Cool mate always good to here others opinions on darts. I think rowby is a good shout
Brown could also cause problems down that side of the draw. Got both to win toueney just in case. Laying the favs in play if they go shorter early a good shout. Plenty of favs getting beat in last few TV comps. Dnb posted on this and the under dog was up few good points

Put a lay in-running at 1.06 on van Gerwen and Keegan Brown for tomorrow night... will do the same with Wes Newton once the market is up... not sure what price to back at yet... will be laying all the odds-on at 1.06 except where there's little between the pair, Klassen game for example... will update on this thread and hopefully turn a profit... cheers...

I mentioned earlier on this thread that it was day FOUR when Terry Jenkins & Kyle Anderson nailed their 9-darters in consecutive matches...after looking through a few notes involving bookies' lines & match stats, I saw that Saturday was just day 2 as it started on Friday night - I could've sworn it started on Wednesday so it looks like as ever, I'm in a time-warp as that hasn't happened for the last few years at least

John Part is involved in the first match of the tournament and I noticed that was the case last year...will he be demanding some 'respek' about that?

As long as his mural is on the wall he'll be fine

no respect off the wall!  lol

What I'm particularly looking forward to is when the line is under/over 2.5 on the 180s in round one (or 3.5 in R2) for some very capable players and invariably, prices between 4/5 - 4/7 are available making the bets very likely to oblige...trouble is, it's sets (in theory it can be over in 9 legs) and with my limited stakes, I need to have them in trebles at least.

Last year Gary Anderson had me seething as for once he was lethal in finishing off Mark Dudbridge in straight sets (who was one max short) and that let me down for two accum's

PS - some of the regular no so big hitters can be backed to nail just two 180s as well as the newcomers that not much is known about.

I've done 3 players:
MVG @ 4.1 (august)
Ando @ 16
Gerwyn @ 1000

Or will it be an incredible 17th World Championship for this fella?
Imagine how many Taylor would have won if he'd stayed in the BDO.


[   This image is no longer available.   ]

Phil looks particularly dignified in that photo. Well done all concerned.

alun

Starting bets:
Outright - Taylor 9/4, Lewis 12/1
To make final - Chisnall 18/1, King 25/1
To win 1st quarter - Jenkins 14/1

6 or 7 could win this, can't wait! Best of luck to everyone.

Bad start to the tourney for me... both Kist and Newton out... Jenkins and Wright my other two picks on here... also backed Chisnall at 40s and Wade @ 16s, both each-way with the books... first leg of 'quarter winners' busted as well...

Two points down on my 1.06 lays... Brown went from 1.01 to 1.80 before finally beating Part... nice trade there for some... I put a back up at evens... van Gerwen game a non-event with highest price matched 1.10... Wes hit 1.12 before getting beat therefore my lay was not matched...

Will be laying Hamilton, Taylor, Wright and Kellett tomorrow... cheers...

Hope you have better luck tomorrow colu. I had 100 quid on brown to win 47 yet never took the 42 quid when he hit 1.03 and ended up losing 2 quid on match .hopefully learn a lesson from that.bet kist to and mvg 3.0 lol. Luckily got it back laying newton so back to the drawing board tomorrow

Thanks ccmac... can easily do all your dough early doors in this tourny... games come thick and fast... for my 1.06 lays I'm hoping to get a 13 point profit on the outsider and a 3 point profit on the jolly... done a Lucky 15 on 4 outsiders but dropped Gilding and Pallet for Richardson and Darren Webster... probably not the best bet as they are all around the 3/1 mark... doubles and trebles may have been the way forward... anyway it's Suljovic @ 3/1, Rodriguez @ 7/2, Darren Webster @ 3/1 and Richardson @ 100/30... cheers...

Total 170 Checkouts: - 100% book:
Under 3.5 - 4/11 bfs
Over 3.5 - 11/4 susan

Wright getting through a plus... Richardson getting beat not so good...

No luck on 1.06 lays... Wright and Taylor both a non-event, Kellet not matched... Hamilton went from 1.12 to 2.8ish before winning his game...

Day 2: -3 points
Total: -5 points

Two 'outsiders' have won their games so far... bizarrely the two qualifiers...

Tomorrow I will be laying Pipe, Thornton, Baxter, Jenkins, Whitlock and Gary Anderson... afternoon games will have to leave the lays up with no backs as I have to pick the missus up from the airport!

Also backed Kyle Anderson @ 6/5... cheers...

Good luck mate. I lost on all matches except last. Layed kelet when figuring he was prob drunk and got back to nearly even's. Still not up or down this year in first 2 nights

Bets tomorrow lay all favs and bet check out and individual 180s overs

Odds after day 3:

9 dart finish
YES 4/6
NO 5/4

170 checkout
YES 1/18
NO 10/1

Day 3 was a good day... backed Kyle Anderson in a single... Jenkins progressed... Darren Webster first winner in my Lucky 15 (1/2)...

1.06 lays... wasn't in for the Baxter game so no bet... Thornton, Jenkins and Anderson all losers... Whitlock not matched (saw over a million to back him at a price during the game ) ... Pipe busted at 1.06 or less, was out so no back in-running put up, nice 16 point profit...

Day 3: +13 points
Total: + 8 points

Today I will be laying Webster, Winstanley, Painter, Huybrechts, Chisnall, Wade and White... cheers...,

Day 4 will be remembered for getting stuck in to the Greek from the BDO (sorry DnB )... otherwise Chisnall and Wade both through playing well enough...

Day for the favs on the 1.06s... Winstanley went from 1.05 to 3.2 before winning so 3 points gained there with a back in running at evens... 6 points lost on the other matches...

Day 4: -3 points
Total: +5 points

Tomorrow will be laying Caven, Smith, Barney & Dolan... will be backing Suljovic and Rowby... cheers all...

bdo are the supply chain for the pdc.

Pieman gets stung by a wasp in his defeat to Ronny at Ally Pally.
Aidie got stung the other year. A psychotic wasp roaming the venue.

I know mate... watching the frustrating Michael reminded of some of them early rounds of the Lakeside tournament...

Day 5 has been poor... Suljovic and Rowby failed to deliver leaving me with a 3/1 (treble the odds though ) winner on my outsider Lucky 15...

Blank on the 1.06 lays with all four favs winning with relative ease...

Day 5: -4 points
Total: +1 point

Tomorrow I will be laying van de Voort, King, Lewis and Bunting... cheers...

Crap day for me colu. Rowby really was a big disapointment let Barney grow from strength to strength no pressure applied

Yeah it's all been rather predictable the last two days... the Barney game was definitely man v boy...

Agree with someone who said Barney had no time for the boy after dismantled him. Was to busy milking his win. Would have been good to see him put an arm round the boy and maybe some kind words. Barney giving it the usual talk. Mind a few years ago one of his first games he averaged high was giving it this is the world championship how can other players not get up for it.

Wait til he falls behind in a game wel see the head shaking reappear

There was just the briefest of handshakes wasn't there... Rowby looked a bit bewildered... maybe Barney was in the zone... the 60ish available on him prior to his first round might be made to look big...

Have backed Pallett at 9s tonight... not particularly hopeful... will review my 'system' after the final first round games tonight... keen to do something similar in round 2... cheers...

Don't feel sorry of Rowby...here he is on a big wind up against Thornton.

Rowby  @ 1:58, 3:55, 5:28, 7:08, 8:07, 9:27, 13:43, 20:12, 24:27
Thornton on the hook @ 17:45, 21:45, (22:38, 27:07

Thornton seemed to take the antics of Rowby in his stride... interesting watch though...

Another predictable day with the favs holding sway... I'd be interested if anyone has any 2nd round picks for a potential 'outsider' Luck 15... the only one I like at present is Klassen...

Three of the 1.06 lays were losers while Mervs lay not matched though he went as low as 1.12...

Day 6: -3 points
Final total: -2 points

On the face of it not a disaster though system not rigidly stuck with... if it had been there would by my calculation been a further 4 point loss... the only player to hit 1.06 and get beat was Justin Pipe and the only player to hit 1.06 then touch evens in-running and go on to win was Dean Winstanley... worth noting though not every first round game covered so can't speak for those where both players were hard to split in the pre-match betting... I have to ask myself whether I would of been better off just backing the outsider pre-match instead of being a tad greedy in putting up a short priced lay...

Moving forward we have 16 second round matches coming up and a brief look at oddschecker shows the biggest price fav is 4/6... therefore I'm happy to cover all 16 games... however I believe that the in-running lay price should be relative to the pre-match price so I'm going to give that a bit of thought with a couple of days to the next round begins... cheers...

i somehow got matched there at evs for a 9 darter lol

I'm looking forward to the second round matches. I've only got one bet on the outright market and that's £100 on Lewis @ 14. He's down to 9.4 now so here's hoping he beats Brown and it'll go lower. I didn't see his first round match but sounds like he played OK.

Lewis was on 125 avg for a long period, and id say he avergaed over a ton in the end, my bets were lewis and wade but never backed them

Aidie was pretty solid and focused as he cruised to a 3-0 sets win over Pallett.
His 101.90 average was the highest of Round 1. All good for you Pauliow.

Merry Christmas one and all - My first dry one in over 30 years.

Ade was excellent. I thought his was amongst the best R1 performances. Anderson was worryingly poor for my bet, but two things give me cause for optimism. One is that he seemed to grow in confidence by Set 3, despite the awkward and frustrating opponent in R1. The second is his R2 opponent, Klassen. Klassen will be exactly what Anderson needs. A fast, slick operator. He'll either go out or play some excellent darts and go through. If he does go through, and I expect him to, he'll be right back on track.

Chizzy and Kim are my other two bets, and I'm pleased with how both of them played. I wouldnt fancy backing either of them to win their R2 games against Van Der Pas and White respectively, but I'm fairly confident that they will progress.

Will be laying all 16 odds-on shots at 1.14... those starting lower than that price will be laid prior to game... will put a back in-running, not sure what price yet... cheers...

does anyone know who steve davis tipped for the outright. he's normally very good. missed the preview

in the racing post

he tipped Lewis

Tonight the tourney has come alive after a pretty sterile afternoon... lost Chisnall in the outrights but Jenkins and Wright make it through...

One 1.14 lay landed (Chisnall, touched 1.07) with a back of evens put in so 5pts gained... 1 point gained in the Anderson game with a back at evens...

Day 1: +2 points
Total: +2 points

Same again tomorrow but no backs in-running going up until I return from relegation 6 pointer at Broadfield Stadium... cheers...

Excellent post.

10 years give or take a few months I've been on this forum and I think it's first time my analysis has ever thrown out a gem, but even a blind chicken finds some grain now and then

Noticed you accidentally tipped the Railwaymen at big odds on Friday, read that early and did`nt act on it.
Good couple of days for you.

on Hamilton @400+ outright for an
interest.
