Jan Dekker at 40/1 is a cracking bet, best young player in the world (either code), semi finalist last year and did ok at the Grand Slam, full of potential and this could be his year.

Thanks. Got the bet on him! Just looked at his draw too, and it doesn't look too bad!

Good shout, 40's all gone now so I have had a punt at 33's. Also backed Hankey at 14's, which will look massive if he manages to beat Waites in the second round.

He gets on with the job? He has more hissy fits than Mervyn King!!

Agreed. Over The Top has been fantastic recently, got to the World final, the Masters final and the 2nd round of the GSOD where he got knocked out in a mammoth contest against Walshy, losing even with a 104 average.

I just hope and pray to god that Adams doesn't win again. I used to be a fan of his but his recent actions plus being voted on to the BDO board as supposedly "Supreme Leader of the British Darts Orgainsation" means I cannot stand him now. Sooner he gets knocked out, the better!

Come on The Count !!!

That's a bit harsh!
Although he does act like one.

No, but what I think may be lost on you is that Waites and Hankey play for rival organisations. If last week the PDC would have announced that Hankey was in the Premier League he would have immediately been kicked out of the Lakeside and the BDO. It just would not happen.

Plus, neither of them have a tour card for the PDC, so how can they be in the Premier League? FWIW, all four semi-finalists from the Lakeside do get offered tour cards by the PDC for two years, but obviously it's too late for the PL because it's all been announced.

PS. All those who backed Dekker, you've lost you're money. Eliminated by Kist, who looks the only threat to Winstanley in his quarter of the draw.

Yes, that certainly stopped Raymond van Barneveld

My 14/1 on Ted not looking bad now. Saw he was as short as 11/4 in the bookies today, so will do a small trade for a nice profit.
