The Premier League is warming up and the table is taking shape. This week the PDC entourage rolls up in Liverpool, The matches are as follows
Mark Webster v Terry Jenkins
Gary Anderson v Phil Taylor
Raymond van Barneveld v James Wade
Adrian Lewis v Simon Whitlock
Mark Webster v Terry Jenkins
Mark has been in some awful form and looks so dejected whilst playing. Terry Jenkins is the Mr Steady of The PL. I’m predicting an easy game for Terry here. The score will be 8-3 to Jenkins and more woe for webby. Sorry.
Winner: Terry Jenkins
180’s 6
Gary Anderson v Phil Taylor
A game of epic proportions here, Last time they met it was an instant classic. This will be the same. Another close game here with both players in red-hot form it’s a coin toss in many ways but Taylor by a nose 8-6 and Gary will hit the most 180’s!
Winner: Phil Taylor
180’s 11
RVB v James Wade
Again this game will be closed, very close. Wade has found his “A” game and Barney seems to be getting to his “A” game. Victory by the odd game again this time I’ll be going for Wadey. 8-6.
Winner: James Wade
180’s 8
Adrian Lewis vs Simon Whitlock
Both players have been predictable in being unpredictable although Whitlock seems to be finding his form at last but surely the World Champion is not going to go out of the Premier League without a battle, is he? Anyway this game will be tense , another close encounter and another coin toss, heads it is, so Adrian Lewis get the nod by the odd leg, 8-6, this week will be close for all bar one.
Winner: Adrian Lewis
180’s 8
Tips
Double Top: Terry Jenkins to win and Gary Anderson to hit more 180’s than Phil Taylor 14/5 at SkyBet
Double One: With the games so close to call let’s try a route where we can sit back and enjoy the games going to the wire-RVB and Wade and Lewis and Whitlcock – Both games over 12.5 legs with the sponsors 888 at a shade under 6/4
Stat Bets: The more legs the more 180’s. We will take on Stan James and go over 27.5 180’s at 5/6 and see if we can get our ratio to 4 out of 5 for this tip!
This has been the most difficult week to predict by far and it should be an amazing night of darts. So there we are peeps, the coin used 3 times this week. If I’m right I’ll frame it, lol
But for now, it’s goodbye from me
