Premier League Darts Betting Has Phil Taylor Clear Of Barneveld
Wednesday 04 February 2009 at 11:44
Premier League darts returns to our screens this week and as usual Phil ‘The Power' Taylor as the hot favourite. Darts has really become popular in the past few years and as a result so has darts betting. With the top six players in the PDC rankings competing the audiences are set to be high and plenty of money is set to be wagered on the event.
Phil Favourite To Show His Power
Phil Taylor is looking to retain his Premier League Darts crown and he is just 1/2 with SkyBet to win yet another title. Taylor faces Raymond van Barneveld in the first round of matches. Phil Taylor is 4/9 to win the match with Bet365 whilst ‘Barney' is 9/2 with Paddy Power. The draw can be backed at 11/2 with SkyBet. Taylor is favourite to gain the most 180s in the first week, he is 7/2 with Ladbrokes and William Hill.
Barney Likely To Make The Final
As previously mentioned, Raymond van Barneveld is the second favourite and he is 5/1 with Coral and Sportingbet. He faces a tough tie in week one against Phil Taylor and he is 5/1 second favourite with Ladbrokes to throw the most 180s in the first week. The bookies think this first round match will be the final, a Taylor v Barneveld final is 15/8 with Ladbrokes.
The Best Of The Rest
James Wade is clear of the rest in the betting, he can be backed at 10/1 with Stan James and Boylesports to win the Premier League. Other names fairly prominent in the betting include Mervin King who is 25/1 with SkyBet and Terry Jenkins who is 28/1 with Stan James.
Who Will Finish Bottom?
The betting is completed by Jelle Klassen who is 33/1 with Totesport, John Part who is 50/1 with SkyBet and Wayne Mardle who is 66/1 with Coral. Mardle is favourite to finish bottom, he can be backed at 5/2 with Ladbrokes, whilst Part is 3/1 with Sportingbet to finish bottom and Klassen is 5/1 with Bet365 to finish bottom.
