aight, assuming darts database is accurate, here is the draw and me pulling names out of
my arse the master computer:
so if i'm looking for value, i'm looking for:
- people that aren't mvg or taylor that might bink it
- people that are at least 50/1 or greater who, with a few correct results, we can lay off at a much shorter price
so i'm mainly looking at:
king 74/1 - i've raved about him for the past few months. he can easily handle van der voort, whitlock is not in form at all, and he's not the guy that'd give a **** about taylor, if taylor even gets there - part won't job easily and white or huybrechts is a bastard of a draw. this is a peach of a draw
wade - don't bet him now, wait for the bookies to realise that he'd play bunting in round 2. then hammer the hell out of the line. apart from wade/bunting/wright that quarter is a joke, so punish the line
thornton 80/1 - baxter's not been relevant for a while. chisnall's a pretty tough last 16 matchup, but get through that, and he could run into a questionable form van gerwen - win that and get paid
jenkins 150/1 - that is, assuming, thornton faces mvg - pipe's surely a dog to jenkins and mvg has lost to jenkins this weekend. a last 16 match is not that long and jenkins can easily win over that distance. bink that and then you've got chizzy or thornton - not that formidable
lewis 12/1 - klaasen's not easy but should be fine, we've seen he can handle caven and i doubt barney would offer more resistance, then you're in a quarter vs probably anderson, and lewis has course and distance over him
i'm mainly avoiding:
anderson - if you wanted anderson, you should have got on earlier. now his odds are close to halved and that is a brutal draw
taylor - the last player you want to have as a lower seed is part, who should at least push him, white/huybrechts will have no fear, neither will king (whitlock might), and he loses his semi regardless
bunting - yeah, you're not beating wade
wright - yeah, you're also not beating wade
van barneveld - frankly i'd back at least 5 of the seeds in your quarter against you
