View Full Version : Darts World championship
Starts tonight.
Defending champion Gerwyn Price is the one to beat but I do think it's wide open this year and many players are in with a shot.
I've gone for James Wade who at 40/1 looks a good value price.
Former champion Rob Cross has found some better form of late, he could be in with a shot. Michael Smith also has the talent if he can keep his head he may also have a chance.
Johnny Clayton has had a great year so will fancy his chances. Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright will also be contenders as always.
Raymond van Barneveld is back out of retirement.
"Queen of the Palace" Fallon Sherrock meets veteran "The Adonis" Steve Beaton in the first round.

surviving against Huybrechts?
if she wins against Beaton, then it is a case on depending in what form Kim is
Van Barneveld could be lucky to reach round 2 but then again he is up against Ilagan so i give him 75% chances there maybe

I have 12 players in a first round accumulator. Tonight I need Ricky Evans to win 3-0 and Adrian Lewis just to win.
It's a tough start to my accumulator because if Evans loses a set it's gone and Lewis has a tricky game and has been low of confidence for a couple of years now.
Ricky Evans does the job for me. 3-0 win. This next one is gonna be tough. Adrian Lewis may be one of the all time greats but he's low on confidence and has been for a while and he isn't playing a mug, it ain't gonna be easy.
Lewis wins.
Good lad Ade. He may be lacking confidence but he tried real hard there and got his rewards. Sets up a mouth-watering second round tie with his old rival "The flying Scotsman" Gary Anderson. They've twice met each other in the final, now they meet in the second round.
Happy to get through the first night on my accumulator, on to tomorrow.

Just catching up. Great to see big Adi win that
No need for the booing for Gerwyn Price by the crowd. He's a great character and an even better player, show some respect.
The champ loses the first set 3 legs to nil. Needs to wake up, he's missing his doubles. Possible shock on the cards.
Rapid Ricky a great character, he'd be top class entertainment if he was regularly competing for trophies
Rapid Ricky a great character, he'd be top class entertainment if he was regularly competing for trophiesIf he gets his first dart in the treble 20 then he just turns into lightning speed and usually hits 180. If he doesn't get that first dart in then he struggles.
Edhouse is playing the game of his life. No better place to do it than in the World championships against the defending champion.
Good effort by Edhouse but Gerwyn has taken control now.
Price just turned on the gas and made it look easy in the end

My bets in trouble here. Mitchell can't hit a barn door at the moment, he needs to wake up.
Mitchell has had 10 darts at double so far and hasn't hit one.
Useless. Zero from twelve at doubles. 6 legs to nil. I need a miracle to keep my bet going.

Don't think he is playing anywhere near well enough to win this
Standard Ade in recent years, no bottle and not able to raise his game when it counts
Ade has always been a confidence and momentum player.
He was expecting to take over from Taylor as the number one and then Van Gerwen came along and got the better of Ade and that rocked his confidence and he's just never gotten it back.
What a game.
Two youngsters Willie Borland and Bradley Brooks just put on a masterclass.
Went all the way to a last leg decider and Borland hit a 9 darter to win it.
Crazy stuff.
Willie Borland also has a great nickname. "Big Willie"

It's time for Beaton and some woman player.
All that big build up by the media just for her to be sent packing in the first round.
That's both the ladies gone in the first round. We're still many years maybe decades off a female challenging to win a major competition.
Barney cruises through to the next round.
Next up is my tip for the title, "The Machine" James Wade. At 40/1 he was too big a price not to have a few quid on.

his reaction at the end of the match was disgraceful
Yeah wtf was that about, totally blanking Cross at first but then went over to him once Rob had finally given up trying to shake hands
He's always had a grumpy streak but is normally a model sportsman

all you cheaters :fist:
Good line up for the quarters.
All 4 games are tough to call.
Peter Wright is probably the strongest but even he has an oppenent that is firing on all cylinders.
Luke Humphries will probably be champion some day, whether it's this year is not yet known but he and Anderson is the game I'm looking forward to most, will it be the passing of a torch or has Anderson still got life in him?
I have Wade at 40/1 but he has Merv King whom the crowd has suddenly took too so Wade will have to beat the crowd as well as Merv.
I said at the start of this thread that Gerwyn Price was the man to beat, Michael Smith has the ability but is he strong enough in the head?
I can’t pick a winner in any of the games.
Although I'm shouting for Wade to win it, I think the winner of the the Anderson vs Humphries game will win the tournament.
Humphries is the future of darts and Anderson showed his World class against Cross in the last round. I can't see beyond these two.

It will be and England vs Scotland final.
My man Wade is still standing. He probably goes into his semi as the underdog but will be happier that he's playing Michael Smith rather than Gerwyn Price.
I make Peter Wright the slight favourite in the second semi but Anderson is chucking some good arrows.
Gerwyn Price did the 3rd 9 darter of the tournament last night.

Great standard in that second semi final.
So the final is Bully Boy vs Snakebite.
Peter Wright is just the favourite for me, he's probably the best player in the World at this moment but Michael Smith has played so well so far in this tournament and has a great chance, can he take it is the question?
Wright has the advantage of having the experience of winning it before but Smith is probably hungrier to win it.
On paper it looks like a great final.
I want Smith to win but I just favour Wright to win it.
All these breaks is stopping the natural flow of the players.

The only reason they were chosen is because they have a fanny rather than a knob because diversity quotas must be met or some people will chow.

If you want to go down that avenue about English and Scots winning it then I'll just say the names Eric Bristow and Phil Taylor. The won it 21 times between the two of them. The combined number of wins for Scotland is 6 (Jocky Wilson 2, Gary Anderson 2, Peter Wright 2) if you count Les Wallace winning the BDO version once, it's still only 7 wins, and Peter Wright is about as Scottish as Donald Trump is.
