Had a decent chunk on Littler to win outright.
Get best of three sets out of the way, then take on a few favs.

Then we see one of the best first round matches ever!
Three outsiders win this afternoon… Kumar biggest pre price winner so far I believe, seems I missed a good game… for my fourth bet in the first round I’ve gone for Lukas Wenig @ 2.14, cheers…
hey bee busy with xmas activities but back on it tonight
I’m hoping Bialecki can give Bunting a game, on @9.4 and +2.5 @ 1.8…
Good luck. Well worth having a dabble on some of these outsiders.
Not watching but surprised to see Dimitri VDB only won one leg in a three - nil drubbing.

Orr was sad to watch although Beveridge put him to the sword no messing… Bunting on fire in the first set… 
Barring the elite, they can all beat each other on the day. Nice to see the lower ranked man prevail. Will mean more to him.
We have a game on our hands 
+2.5 in… put up a lay at evens to double me steak…
+2.5 in… put up a lay at evens to double me steak…
Great game… Bunting finally getting his act together in the final set… 1.01 was in trouble for a while…
Yeah - Menzies or the table fighting the winner of AJ/Paul
Yeah. Wasn't a good look though the comms said he will regret that for the rest of his life, not sure it's that deep !
He’s made a mess of his hand by the look of it. If you’re gonna punch a table wtf would you hit the metal stand?

After winner last night following four consecutive losers I’m going to have a play on the Wizard of Oz @ 4.2, cheers…
Another 1.01 was in trouble there, going back out to odds against... Whitlock went to 1.65... doubled me stake, I'll take that given Scutt missed at least six match darts... no bet tomorrow...
Who would have thought, by far, the most entertaining session of Championship darts would be on a quiet Thursday afternoon
Aye, you never know what to expect and think a lot of these games are going to be non-events… another 1.01 busted too…
yes yestrday afternoon was amazing loved the japanese and kenyan guys - great for darts.
didnt watch the evening games -had an early night
watching it later though

i see beau greaves is the odds on fav to beat Darryl Guerney ---surely not
Last 3 months Dragon
Beau First 9 Ave 101.8 CO 40.74%
Daryl Gurney First 9 Ave 97.6 CO 39.89%
Beau First 9 Ave 101.8 CO 40.74%
Daryl Gurney First 9 Ave 97.6 CO 39.89%
Their actual averages are almost identical, but Beau wins most of legs she plays, so that's not a fair comparison. Combining first 9 and CO %s is a better guide
Perhaps Beau is under more pressure, but there's huge pressure on both
cheers CB be an interesting game to watch for sure
Rising darts star Beau Greaves has been described as 'world class' by the game's top player, so how far can she go on the biggest stage?
The 21-year-old begins her PDC World Championship campaign against 22nd seed Daryl Gurney at Alexandra Palace in London on Friday evening.
And despite losing on her only previous appearance at the tournament, she is rated odds-on favourite by bookmakers to beat Gurney, a World Cup winner with Northern Ireland, and reach the second round.
Greaves hit the headlines when defeating world champion Luke Littler in October to reach the World Youth Championship final. Interest in the contest was such that visitors almost crashed the online system offering score updates.
That came amid an unbeaten run of 86 matches in the Women's Series, which has provided five competitors in an expanded 128-player world championship.
Littler admitted he hoped to avoid the woman nicknamed 'Beau and Arrow' when the draw was made.
"Beau Greaves is definitely one that I wouldn't want to play," said Littler, who in January became the youngest world darts champion aged 17, told BBC Sport.
"She's world class, that's why she's won the Women's World Championship three times.
"She's been dominating the Women's Series for two or three years now and she's only going to get better and better."
Five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld has predicted a good run in the Worlds could see Greaves invited to the eight-player Premier League - although 2021 world champion Gerwyn Price described that suggestion as "a joke".
Only one woman has won matches on the world stage at the Ally Pally - Fallon Sherrock twice in December 2019 - while Greaves' debut three years ago ended in a first-round defeat by William O'Connor.

nice to see some of the Sunderland team in there tonight getting in some training
littler another easy game - not chicking all that well ne interesting to see how he goes v a top player
slow croation borefest next so he shd win that one . im still laying him at those prices
humphries looking good taken 6/1 ourtright
continue to lay littler 1.76 is too short
continue to lay littler 1.76 is too short
Littler has the odd bad performance as all darts players do, but that's almost always over a short format. And when he does it's nearly always a 1 game blip. It's a big struggle to see him not getting to the final, as in his half of the draw no one (aside Gezzy) had shown the form required to give him a game, let alone beat him over a long format over the last few months. I backed GVV ew at 40/1 back in April. Only bet I've had. The tournament needs a Littler v GVV/Humphries final, otherwise can see Littler coasting through the whole tournament. Be good to see GVV in the Premier League
What I don't understand about Littler is, how on Earth can an 18 year old lad look as though he has never done a days exercise in his entire life and yet his "team" or "advisors" seem happy to let him stuff his face with unhealthy cr@p without helping him choose a better lifestyle?
It's absolutely awful really and I do enjoy watching him play a great deal!

Where on earth has Justin Hood got this form from?
One of the best games ever at the WC that. Have to feel sorry for Noppert. Would have won 95% of matches playing like that.
Someone needs to create a Wikipedia page for Justin Hood
great win by anderson great game.
if MVG gets through he will play him.
Searle looked good, cant see crosss winning it played bang average despite 4-0. we need to play a lot better if he wants to give littler a run for his money

from what ive seen luke humphries looks the value at he moment. lets see how he gets on tonight
1.01 out to 1.4 Luke, great match, Clemens really started purring
3 vs 1 on the break and they don't get a shot on target, disappointing
I went this afternoon. Internet blocked in the arena
clemens played well once he got going and gave humphries a test. he didnt throw as well as he did against paul lin.
all favs got through , german guy looked solid but 3rd fav not sure about that
shd be some great games today.
HEY CB hope u enjoyed it yesterday, what do the crowd mean when they sing boring boring table - at least i think thats what it is?

Yeah it is boring boring tables. It's just a joke. Guess it would be similar to the olden days where you had standing support at PL matches having a go at the prawn sandwich brigade in the seats.
It's a great atmosphere but you definitely need to drink. Free games in the area outside that should get you a couple of free drinks if you are half decent at darts

aspinall making it hard for himself .. not good enough at the highest level imvho.
good wn by rock dodgy start but very good when he got going. must be in with a chance but maybe not quite champion material yet
Was all over Littler recently. His peak is frightening. But that's true of van Veen and Humphries. Can they all keep it up versus Littler over the longer format though.
imressive by searle happy with my 75 on him
here comes littler

1.2 Littler when throwing for the set, bizarre price. Great match !

Incredible ! Had a dart to win the match with 12/12 and he knew it !
incredible never seen anything like that....i wish it was littler he had been playing
pretty good from van veen there in with a chance for sure
anderson v van gerwen now == no bet -hoping for a classic .. gary marginal fav on here.. if he plays like he did last game he wins simples
5-0 Little, 3.5 landed for those on. I resisted sadly
GvV wins 5-1. Unreal performance. Luke fluffed his lines in the earlish sets but then GvV played superb. 1.3x Luke backers cooked
He'll need to play that well again to beat Littler. Even that might not be enough!
Very true Clyde. Unreal standard first 6 sets here !
1.2x GvV and 3.25 outright seems very condifent, Gary in the groove and crowd behind him
Hovered over the Gary 6/1 and didn't take it, damn! He's playing better imo
Awesome match though ! Hopefully he brings his best tomorrow and we have a classic !
Best two players in the final which has the potential to be a classic
