some i agree some i dont.............
5 matches tonight with one of those being a preliminary match between french and nagakawa to set up a 1st rnd tie with dennis priestly
french is massive 1.22 fav and i think he will win but no value at all........
first match of the night sees R Scholten take on C Rodriguez, im with you on this one tony im going against the bookies and fancy a scholten win @ 9/4......
2nd match sees R Thornton take on W Jones with thornton being 1.40 fav with jones 9/4 outsider to progress which will almost certainly be a 2nd rnd tie with W Mardle who plays the winner of the prelim with fatum vs oconner
im going against you here mate and think thornton will progress to the 2nd rnd where he will face mardle..........thornton to win 3-1 @ 3.60 appeals
3rd match sees defending champion J Part take on B Davis and part is massive 1.10 fav to progress with davis 6.50 outsider, no value whatsoever in part but you can double you profit on part by getting 1.20 on him to win....
part to win 3-0 is 2.00 and part to win 3-1 is 3.00, dutch the 2 together and you get 1.20......not in a month of sundays can i see davis taking 2 sets off part, part 3-0 @ evens looks the value here
last match of the night sees A Jenkins take on Co Stompe, bookies have stompe as slight fav @ 1.72 with jenkins at 2.00
this to me is a tough one to predict and either of he can progress and really is a 50/50 in my eyes so on that note i couldnt back stompe @ 1.72 and my money would have to go on jenkins but i think i have found a better bet in his match........
this in my opinon will be the tightest match of he night and will go to the final set with someone winning 3-2
jenkins to win 3-2 is 5.00 and stompe to win 3-2 is 4.50 dutch the 2 together and you get a tasty 2.37 which is where my money will be going......
im more of a watcher than a better when it comes to the 1st rnd as i like to see how players are playing and how their form/confidence is so i wont have many bets until the 2nd or even 3rd rnd but there is a couple of 1st rnd bets i like the look of...........
thornton to beat jones and painter to clark double pays 2.10............ladbrokes (2pts
jenkins to win 3-2 or stompe to win 3-2 @ 2.37.............bet365 (2pts)
4pts total
if jenkins/stompe goes to the final set then ill be freerolling on the double where thornton plays tonight and painter tomorow afternoon
.................................................. .................................................. ................................
if things go the way i think they will then J Wade will be playing D Priestly in the 1/4 final and ive backed priestly to reach the semi @ 10/1 with a saver on wade @ 5/4
1pt wade to reach semi @ 5/4
1pt priestly to reach semi @ 10/1
should be a cracking 13 days of darts
