Taylor 100/30 To Face Barney In The Semis

It’s the final week of the regular season in the Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts and with the top four players already known, Skybet are offering odds on who Phil Taylor’s opponent will be in the semi finals.

 It’s 100/30 that Taylor takes on Raymond van Barneveld in a re-match of the 2009 World Championships final and 1/5 that he faces PDC newcomer, Mervyn King.

Thursday's opening Premier League Darts match sees the ever popular Terry Jenkins taking on Raymond van Barneveld. Jenkins knows a win against the Dutchman would see him leapfrog John Part into fifth in the table and increase his overall prize money. It’s 100/30 for Jenkins to come out on top with Barney 4/9 and the tie 9/2. It’s 6/4 for Barney to win with a handicap of -3 legs (evens Jenkins +3 legs and 4/1 H’Cap tie) and 13/2 it’s a repeat of week four where Barney beat Jenkins 8-6. It’s 5/6 for Barney to average over 99 in the match (5/6 under 99) and 10/11 for Barney to hit the most 180s in the match (13/8 Jenkins and 4/1 Tie).

In tomorrow’s other Premier League match, Phil Taylor is 1/4 to finish the regular season on top of the table by seeing off Mervyn King (5/1 King and 6/1 Tie) and it’s 5/6 for the world number one to average over 104 in the match (5/6 under 104).

It’s 21/10 for there to be under 12 maximums hit during tomorrow’s two games (6/4 12 to 15 maximums and 13/8 over 15) and it’s 15/8 for Barney to hit the most 180’s from the four players.
