Phil Taylor is now the 11/8 favourite to win the Ladbrokes.com World Championships after his sensational Premier League win on Monday night.

The Power is just 5/4 to defend his Premier League crown whilst Ladbrokes make him a 100/1 shot to be named Sports Personality of the Year.

And the bookies were once again cursing Taylor as his army of fans kept the punting faith during the dark days of February.

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "We dared to write him off and offered 9/2 about a Taylor win when the wheels appeared to fall off in February. .

"But punters never gave up and got a Bank Holiday bonanza at our expense. Yet again Phil Taylor was the result we were dreading."

Taylor is 25/1 to go on to win this year's UK Open, Las Vegas Desert Classic, World Matchplay and World Grand Prix.
