Premier League Darts

By Profit Swing

Tonight the Premier League reaches Cardiff and we have three cracking bets.

First on is our main bet in the outright League Mervyn King who let us down last week by blowing a winning position to our other outright bet Simon Whitlock. He has been in a very bad mood all week and will be all out to make amends against Terry Jenkins who was embarrassing last week in that shocker against James Wade. The Bull has looked like he needs taking to market in recent weeks and though the price is nothing spectacular I think King will take care of business tonight.

Pick: 5 Points Win Mervyn King  1.65 Sportingbet

The second game sees our new best friend Ronnie Baxter take on Whitlock and fresh from beating Barney up I see Baxter taking Whitlock in a tight game. Baxter is ahead of Whitlock in the league and in the averages but is the outsider in the betting. He has surprised me and others in that he has thrived in this competition and we simply cannot miss value like this, come on the Rocket!

The third match could be dubbed the battle of the unpredictables as it is James Wade versus Adrian Lewis. By the way does anybody else find Rod Harrington's pronunciation of Lewis's name as amusing as I do? Use the message board and let me know (pathetic isn't it). After delving deeply into this game I have come to the strong conclusion that Lewis is overpriced. The bookies have overreacted to Wade beating Jenkins last week. In reality he could not lose and missed double after double. Lewis never performs against Taylor so I will forget his poor showing and take him to bounce back tonight.

We will leave the last match which will surely see Taylor trounce Barneveld. Sadly the price is very short in the correct score market. I am not going to suggest a lucky 15 on the draws tonight as I feel King and Taylor will win easy so instead we will do a draw double on the two tight matches.

Pick: 1 Point Double Baxter v Whitlock (4.8) and Lewis v Wade (4.8) to draw 23.04 Totesport
