THE Premier League darts hits Nottingham tonight and Peter Wright is eyeing a second victory over Michael van Gerwen in the space of a week.

Wright followed up his victory over Jelle Klaasen in the Premier League opening night by beating MVG in the UK Open qualifiers – his first success against the world No.1 in 17 matches.

He's 6-1 at Boylesports to repeat the feat tonight – and 10-13 at 188bet with a +3.5 leg start. MVG opened his Premier League campaign with a thrilling 6-6 draw with Gary Anderson last week and another stalemate pays 11-2 at bet365 while a win for the Dutch defending champ is 7-19 at 188bet.

In the other matches, Anderson faces Klaasen, six-times champ Phil Taylor takes on James Wade, Adrian Lewis tackles Dave Chisnall and Raymond van Barneveled rounds off the action against Kim Huybrechts.

Jordan is the man for NBA tips – he'll add his Thursday selections below – and feel free to chip in with any sporting picks and thoughts of your own.

    Good call on Drummond LF.

    • fraser51 7 years ago

      Bet 1 winner for yourself
      Hopefully the bulls take it to the Warriors for number 2

      I’ve stayed away from NBA recently as i like to watch the games that i bet on but i think i will have to change my stance the form you are in.

    Rugby Roundup

    Hartpury -21
    1.90 @ bet365

    ?LOSER?

    Total points over 46.5
    1.90 @ bet365

    ?WINNER?

    Won 65
    Lost 62

    With a score needed in the last 10 mins to cover the total, unfortunately it was Cardiff and not Hartpury to cover the spread too.

  4. raoul duke 7 years ago

    Nuggets +4.5 @ 1.90 – ✖

    Lakers/Pistons Over 216.5 @ 1.90 – ✔

    Split night. Nuggets were getting themselves back in the game with a decent 3rd Quarter, but a low scoring 4th killed the game.

    The Pistons total comes in with some room to spare.

    Let’s see what tonight brings.

    Updated record

    Week – 2-4
    Season – 81-63

  5. baggio 7 years ago

    @williams1993 – definitely think there is valie in the Scots. Their strong Glasgow Warriors contingent have been excellent away from home so far this season.

    Like the look of Italy-Ireland second half highest scoring half. Can see it going a similar way to the wales match. Not great odds so might need a short odds to top it up.

    England can’t play as bad as they did against France. Got a feeling they might beat the Welsh by a converted try or so. Italy upset them far too easily and theu were far from convincing in the autumn internationals.

    Like you say though no team news yet so worth checking that out first.

  6. mervin 7 years ago

    Tonight’s NBA bet:

    A double I really like the look of is

    Raptors over 102.5 team points
    Jazz over 97.5 team points

    0.96/1 @ SkyBet **WON**

    Wizards -6
    Celtics -3

    1.02/1 @ SkyBet **LOST**

    Week : 3-1
    Season : 8-4

    1 winner and 1 loser but with Jordan’s first tip landing, it means another night profit :)

    World Grand Prix

    Trump -1.5 – v Hawkins – 6/5 Coral

    Trump is renowned for his potting and scoring which he showed with his 145 break on Monday but what was impressive was his ability to scrap out the other 3 frames he needed. I backed and watched Hawkins game Monday evening and he put me through the wringer. Wilson gave him multiple opportunities to win frames and he needed all of them as kept missing easy pot after easy pot. If Trump can maintain his level of safety from Monday and Hawkins continue to miss pots regularly, it should be set up for Trump to ease through.

    Other games
    Gould/Perry – Gould is tempting to back as the outsider but his difficulty in getting over the line v Selby is worrying and Perry has shown reasonable form.
    Allen/Liang – Again Liang is tempting as the outsider but Allen won his 1st round game 4-0 with 4 50+ breaks including a 140 so maybe this week he has brought his game with him.
    O’Sullivan/Robertson – O’Sullivan is involved so its a no bet but for what it is worth, I expect O’Sullivan to cover handicap. Robertson started rapidly v Walden but then returned to his recent form, eventually falling over the line. Ronnie leads H2H 13-6 and has won 4 of last 5 so that in his favour also.

  10. Jordan 7 years ago

    Memphis Grizzlies -4
    Miami Heat Over 98.5 Team Points

    43/50 @ Skybet – 2.5 points **WIN**

    Heat Over 98.5
    Bulls Over 102.5

    6/5 @ Skybet – 1.25 points **LOSE**

    In hindsight the second bet was a terrible pick as I thought the reasons the lines weren’t out was because of Klay Thompson, when actually it was based on Butler and Wade’s statuses. Came close but wouldn’t have touched it on another night. Small profit regardless thanks to the Heat and Grizzlies. Well done any winners.

  11. gunner 7 years ago

    Rugga this weekend.

    Double Scotland +11.5 & Wales + 10.5 at just under evens (Bet365). Scots could actually come away with the win and Wales should keep it close at home so happy to take the points.
    Small punt on a Yellow card in all 3 games 9/4. Waiting on totals and then may have a few more bets. Will post some UFC 208 bets later too

    • baggio 7 years ago

      Double looks good!

  12. Jordan 7 years ago

    Houston Rockets -3 @ 4/5 @ Skybet – 2.5 points

    Obviously not a solid pick as you don’t know what you’ll get from the Rockets. Charlotte have one win in their last 8, and that was against the Nets. I’ll take Houston and the MVP favourite to cover a 3 point spread.

    • the lucky filipino 7 years ago

      Like this a lot Jordan..if hornets do slack like they did near the end against nets they will get punished by the rockets..The beard could possibly get another triple double against them I feel.. the 4/1 longshot single of harden triple double and rockets win is tempting me too or his PA&R when it comes up..see how I feel later..haha..good luck mate..

  13. raoul duke 7 years ago

    Cleveland Cavaliers @ Oklahoma City Thunder

    Thunder +1 @ 1.90 (PP)

    Take this now gents, as there’s talk of Kyrie, LeBron and/or Love sitting out this game.

    Lines look wrong at Paddy Power.

    They’ve got the spread at -1 Cavs, yet ML is 21/10.

    • raoul duke 7 years ago

      And Thunder are 2/5 on the ML

      ?

  14. raoul duke 7 years ago

    It’s gone.

    Lines now -7.5

    Anyone get on?

    • the lucky filipino 7 years ago

      Nooooooooo missed it bro ?Watched the game last night apparently LBJ defnetly sitting out cos of the mins he’s played recently -rest for the king..PP not even letting me get into any of the markets on that game

    • raoul duke 7 years ago

      It’s an odd one because I checked this morning and lines were -9.5.. Thought ah, that’s because Cavs are resting starters.

      Checked again a few hours later and it’s Thunder +1 lol…

    • the lucky filipino 7 years ago

      You caught that one quick mate..??..eagle eye ..haha..I still can’t get in to it man .think it’s my phone…none of the others got it up yet either skybet unibet and 365…something dodgy here lol..or me being impatient …cavs to lose here tonight I reckon..good catch man

    • raoul duke 7 years ago

      Yeah Cavs record without LeBron is terrible ?

    • Jordan 7 years ago

      Raoul I was watching the line movements on SBR so thought something was up but couldn’t get on in time. Nice work.

    Premier League Darts

    Chisnall most 180’s – v Lewis – 8/11 Betfair
    Wade/Taylor – u5.5 180’s – Betvictor
    Anderson most 180’s – v Klaasen – 10/11 Boylesports
    MVG most 180’s – v Wright – 8/11 Coral
    RVB most 180’s – v Huybrechts – Evs Betstars

    Feel like all the favs in the 180’s markets should land but surely couldn’t be as easy as that? I often think that Lewis, Wright and Huybrechts are overrated in the 180s markets. Lewis used to be consistently prolific on the T20s but hasn’t been in a long while. Wright went through a good spell of hitting 180s but not so much recently. Huybrechts only hit 2 180’s in 12 legs last week compared to 4 from RVB in the same number. Taylor and Wade are the 2 players in this tournament who hit the fewest 180s.

    UFC 208 this weekend:
    Main bet will be a double of Souza by KO/TKO/DQ/Submission & Poirier win (shade under 4/5). Couple other bets I like:
    Silva to win 11/10
    Holm fight not to go the distance 1/1
    Double: Teixeira & Souza fights not to go the distance 5/6
    Teixeira/Souza/Poirier all to win 5/6. Adding Holm to win for a longshot 4 fold 7/2. Small stakes obviously. Anderson Silva is obviously past his best but this is a decent match up for him & hopefully he can pull off the win. Souza & Poirier shouldn’t have any issues if everything goes to plan….Never know but hoping for a few quick finishes. Enjoy

    Premier League Darts:

    Singles:

    Wade vs Taylor – highest checkout score over 120.5 5/6 PP **NAP**

    Huybrechts vs Van Barneveld – Huybrechts double chance 6/5 PP **NB**

    Lewis vs Chisnall – highest checkout score over 120.5 5/6 PP

    Wade vs Taylor – Taylor highest checkout over 102.5 4/5 PP

    Lewis vs Chisnall – Chisnall highest checkout over 98.5 4/5 PP

    Wright vs Van Gerwen – Van Gerwen average over 105.5 5/6 PP
    ——————————————————————————————————
    Wade vs Taylor – over 10.5 total legs
    Huybrechts vs Van Barneveld – Hubrechts +2.5

    Double 11/8 Bet365
    ——————————————————————————————————-

    The 120.5 highest checkout line stands a great chance of being surpassed in a match between two of the best finishers in the game. Both Taylor and Wade have shown over the years they can nail medium to high ton plus checkouts under extreme pressure and the way the match could play out tonight its likely both will get opportunities. Last week Taylor finished a 121 and Wade just missed double twelve for a 141 so they should carry that type of form into Nottingham tonight.

    I fancy Huybrechts to at least pick up a point. Although last week he lost 5-7 to James Wade in what was a close match, he clocked up an impressive average of 100 which consisted of thirteen 140’s & two 180’s. Taking a look further back to two years ago when he last played in the premier league he was registering high averages frequently and was actually unlucky to be eliminated so early on because most of his dropped points were from close losses or draws. One of the games he did win in that campaign though was against Barney coming off a 5-7 victor. Tonight he’s throwing first so if he breaks Barney’s throw he’ll be in a good position to win so the double chance looks a good bet to play;

    Good luck all

    • the lucky filipino 7 years ago

    World Grand Prix QFs

    Double
    Robertson/Hawkins o5.5 frames
    Liang/Perry o5.5 frames

    Prices yet to be available for the 2nd game as they’ve just finished their 2nd round games. The odds suggest Robertson/Hawkins should be close and I expect the odds for Liang/Perry to be similarly close. Only 6 of the 24 games played so far this week have gone u5.5 frames and with both games having players of similar standard, expect the trend to continue. o5.5 best priced at 8/13 for Robertson/Hawkins which is a bit short for a single so double it up with the other game when prices become available. 1st game starts at 7pm.

    A bit unlucky with Anderson and MVG bets but simply got the Trump bet wrong. Anderson finished 2-2 on 180s and MVG amazingly missed the last dart for a 180 11 times. Very impressed with Hawkins in both games today, certainly a big improvement on his 1st game.

    Putting up 2 for tomorrow that won’t surprise anyone.
