THE Premier League Darts resumes in Exeter on Thursday night and top billing goes to the clash between world champ Gary Anderson and in-form Dave Chisnall.
Chizzy is joint top of the standings with Michael van Gerwen after an unbeaten start while Ando lurks ominously just a point behind.
Chizzy impressed in defeating Kim Huybrechts with a 107 average and six 180s last week. Anderson rattled four maximums in his win over James Wade and this should be a close affair, giving appeal to over 10.5 legs at 8-13 with Skybet.
Both are big hitters and capable of landing plenty maximums so look at over 6.5 180s at 8-13 with Skybet and Ladbrokes' 11-10 for over 7.5 180s.
Premier League newcomer Kim Huybrechts sits second bottom on one point but averaged 107 last week and can continue his hoodoo over Raymond van Barneveld tonight.
Barney has lost all six meetings with the Belgian, who is good value at 2-1 with 888sport.
Adrian Lewis held van Gerwen to a draw last week and can follow it up with victory over winless Stephen Bunting at 8-11 with BetVictor.
There's also a repeat of the 20140 World Championship Final with van Gerwen taking on Peter Wright, while Wade faces Phil Taylor.
Elswhere today there's more first-round action from the Snooker Shootout – where the likes of Shaun Murphy, Mark Williams and Judd Trump won their openers yesterday – plus a couple of NBA games among the sporting highlights.
Let's hear your sporting tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
Scott's darts double
Huybrechts win
Anderson v Chisnall over 10.5 legs
(3.6-1, Skybet)
A shocking first quarter from brooklyn means my team total points double posted in the other thread has no chance, gutted as the Pacers smashed it
Russel Westbrook had another crazy night scoring his 4th straight triple double. 49 Points, 16 Rebounds, 10 Assists against Philly who surprisingly took them to OT. All after having surgery on his cheekbone. He is making a massive statement for Regular Season MVP, single handed winning games for OKC without Durant. The favourite is Curry @ 8/13 but Curry has help from Klay Thompson, LeBron James and Westbrook are tied second, but LeBron has Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. I’m not sure how they grade it but Westbrook is a lone ranger without Durant and a bet @ 11/4 might be well worth a shout @ PP
Pacers -5.5
GSW -5.5
Heat ML
@ EVS @ 365 **WIN**
Brian the double stakes was worth while mate ;)
Was panicking a bit at the end cos I had to take the line at -6 on 365.
All good, all good. Back to level stakes again for me.
Norwich busted my football treble, i swear if i didnt do football my bank roll would be double lol
***POSTED YESTERDAY***
Simple double from me today:
– Orlando Magic +8.5
– Utah Jazz +6.5
DOUBLE pays $1.88 (3 points on)
***WIN***
AUSSIE RULES / AUSSIE NRL DOUBLE:
– Fremantle Dockers -10.5 @ $1.49
– Brisbane/South Sydney UNDER 44.5 @ $1.48
DOUBLE PAYS $2.20 (5 points on).
anyone interested ..great price on Koukalova to beat Witthoeft. Withoeft was struggling against Japanese in previous match and barely got through 7-5, 7-5, while Koukalova played very comfy winning 6-1,6-3 against Mayr-Achleitner.
Witthoeft ranked 81
Koukalova ranked 90
should be even match, but in current form and with price like that I must back Koukalova.
3 points on Koukalova @ 2,60
Puma drifter – I’m on Witthoft. She is good form. Koukalouva has lost 7 of her last 10, just had an easy opponent yesterday. Good luck anyways
Btw – if anyone missed getting on my double (Aussie rules leg already underway), I’ll tip the NRL Rugby League match between Brisbane & Souths to go UNDER 40.0 match points @ $1.92
Hi Atilla, what bookies do you use? Sometimes I find it dificult getting onto alternative handicaps
Juan – I use sportsbet.com.au cos I’m from Australia.
The under 40.0 for the Aussie rugby league game isn’t alternative spread tho it’s the current official line so most bookies should have it if they do Aussie leagues?
Being first game of the season it should be a tight low scoring affair.
Ah yes the 20140 World Darts Championship Final was a classic :D ;)
I joke, good luck everyone today.
Main bet: Adrian Lewis, Michael van Gerwen @ 1.14/1
Smaller bet: Adrian Lewis, Michael van Gerwen, Raymond van Barneveld @ 3.28/1
Attila what do you think about south sydney scoring over 21.5 points? Just gone low stakes on that as a single
Atilla to bad I can not jump into your bets, no market here…
anyway good luck 2 u aswell backing the German grl, but unfortunately no play yet, ..bad weather :/
This NRL fame will definitely go under 40. It’s in the city I live in Brisbane. It’s 29 degrees at 7pm still & 85% humidity. Players are already struggling.
Get on the unders in play if you can.
Shorty – not sure, might be very low scoring. Souths just got back from the UK after winning the world club challenge…from freezing cold to hot and his, not sure they’ll score too many. But GL man
Attila,
Only market I have is more than 32.5, Less than 32.5 (either at evens).
Isn’t this going to be too short?
Cricket world cup
India win v West indies
south Africa win v pakistan
Double 4/5 Coral
10 points
Add
Bangladesh win v Scotland
Treble 1.17/1 Coral
5 points
Its looking good for the unders mate! Hopefully sydney can get a try or two second half but we dont want too many haha
I’m also on Witthoeft, but only in multiples. Too short for a single. She looked good in her last match I thought and koukalova blows up on court more often than not. We shall see!
Fremantle dockers win by 18,
Witthoeft smashing koukolova,
Good start so far today!
AD – same mate, got her in another Acca I’m on but didn’t post cod just a personal bet. She’s doing well!
Tsurenko aside the other upset I’m on today, and this really would be a susprise, is Berrere to beat De Schepper. I saw some of his first round match here and was impressed with Berrere. On these courts another strong performance behind serve will give him a chance against De Schepper, who has been known to lose to lowly players from time to time in similar situations before.
Berrere d De Schepper @ 21/5
(Lowest stakes for me)

AUSSIE RULES / AUSSIE NRL DOUBLE:

***WON***
For in play tennis betting one of my favourite bets is someone who’s a break down in the first set to win 2-0. For example I took Witthoeft 2-0 @ 7-1 when Koukalova went 6-5 up. No guarantee it will land, but as she was 1/1 moments before and there was every chance she would break back straight away so for me it’s a no-brainer kind of bet for low stakes. I had a similar beet on Dulgheru 2-0 yesterday when she went 3-1 down in the first set. It’s hard to get those kinds of tips up in time on here, but keep an eye on players you fancy to win if they go a break behind and the prices on them to win 2-0. Quite often find great value there.
Witthoeft would make you sweat! She was trying her best tothrow that set away
what a match…that Koukalova is ridicilous 2day…two times 3x double faults in a match…crazy.
Puma- she is crazy 90% of the time. The worst temperament on tour.
No sweat in this set! Just hoping for 6-0, 6-1 second set for an extra payoff!
was gonna back Witthoeft when she was 5-6 down and 0-15 but was greedy and waited for bigger odds at 15-15…
Ad great shout backing 2-0 win while being down a game, and congratz Atilla for a win.
move on…
Great stuff as always AD
Wittoeft literally did everything she could to give Koukaova a break there and save the bagel…..still nothing, embarrassing stuff from Koukalova.
Beck v Guez in play at the moment, Beck leads head to head 2-0 – any thoughts AD?
No idea on that one Juan, not seen either play for a long time and don’t remember either leaving much of an impression on me!
need to get back those 3 points later on games, but dunno what to go with. I will play a double or a treble small stake just to cover that ugly loss.
any tips are welcome guys.
cjheers
Under 7.5 games in set 2 of WOZ v Lu is 7/4 and has a few of my pounds on it. TOo late for good odds on unders in set 1 but im on 6-0
I mean Zhu sorry, but not staking much on this match. Zhu starting to play some great stuff. If she stays aggressive who knows what’ll happen.
Ad true that…no point risking.
watching live beck now, cant see he can win this though…many unforced errors just in those 5min im watching..
I’ve gone back on my pre match expectations and now putting a few
I like what im seeing from Zhu. Going back on nmy pre match expectations and backing her to make this competetive.
Ad, how confident are you with Tsurenko tonight?
Basczynski sure struggled against Wickmayer, while on the other hand Tsurenko blew out Shelby Rogers.
but its hard to call in my opinion…could be just a bad day for Timea.
Not that confident Puma! I’ve not watched Tsurenko recently but she’s got the game on her day to make a fatigued Bacsinszky pay on a fast court. It could’ve just been a bad day for Timea but she’s unlikely to get fresher with each match after a long week last week. Just a smallish bet @ 2/1 then see how it shapes up in play.
Beck looking better now, gonna back it up for a small stake.
Zhu @ 25/1….tempting!
GL AD :D
Thanks mate, i’ll definitely need it. There’s only inexperience stopping Zhu from being ahead in this one so far. lost the first set thanks to nerves and should’ve broken in the first game of the second set. Deserves to be level at least.
took my bet off with lil loss…just dont trust Beck at the moment…rather took it back than lose even more…
Good Conservative darts bet = 4.13
Barneveld +1.5 1.44
Anderson/Chisnall over 5.5 180 1.36
Lewis win 1.61
Wright plus 4.5 1.33
So inexperienced it’s painful to watch! Not knowing Wozniaki will serve down the T in trouble, missing seriously easy put away volleys, going the wrong way with the whole court to aim at. She’s out rallied Wozniaki for large parts of this match. I’m hopeful for my girl Kulichkova’s chances against the Dane!
Forgot all about the under 7.5 games in set 2 bet I put up @ 7/4 an hour ago! That covers my ludicrously optimistic bets on Lu to get something out of this!
@jordon dont forget the beard!!!
james harding has to be right up there for MVP.
crazy to see brooklyn destroyed last night after they beat the warriors…
not sure whether to go for the oklahoma/portland double tonight, both playing b2b..probobly just wait for the inplay.
Mlb Spring Training
Royals @ Rangers
I’ve gone through all the games and I think this game has the biggest mismatch of the day.
Darvish is starting for Rangers today, he’s a quality pitcher and I would expect him to go a few innings. Also Royals starting pitcher isn’t of the same quality.
Ranges win @ 2.1
(remember these are essentially friendlies so it’s more about seeing value here and making the game a bit more fun to watch, if I can find a stream!)
Mlac yes Harden to but he has even been pushed out behind Westbrook and LeBron now. Four strait triple doubles is mental.
Premier League Darts week five
Doubles:
Wright vs Van Gerwin, Van Gerwin most 180’s
Wade vs Taylor, Taylor win
1.33/1
Wright vs Van Gerwin, Van Gerwin most 180’s
Van Barneveld vs Huybrechts, Huybrechts +2.5
1.10/1
Singles:
Van Barneveld vs Huybrechts, draw no bet Huybrechts 6/5
Lewis vs Bunting, Bunting over 2.5 180’s 4/5
Wade vs Taylor, double result Taylor 5/4 (Taylor to lead after 6 legs and to win match)
Chisnel vs Anderson, Chisnel over 3.5 180’s 5/6
GL if you follow
My thoughts (not tips) for tonights NBA:
– Bulls vs OKC : Westbrook is on fire and Bulls still have to handle injuries.
– Trail Blazers vs Mavericks : This is probably going to be a close match (like last time), although the Blazers have homefield advantage but playing against a rested Mavericks team.
Single : OKC -2.5
Double : OKC +2.5 and Blazers/Mavericks over 189.5 points;
I’m liking that look of Barrere! Upping my stake (foolishly)
cheers ad for making me have wee look at barrere match jst had 1 point on him to break to 30 in the 11th game 16/1.nice
no prob sparky, well done mate!
Barrere is outplaying De Schepper right now. 1 set up and a break up in the second. Playing some inspired stuff. If he can master nerves when the finish line comes in sight he will win this 2-0. Which im on at 12/1 incidentally!
AD maybe worth a look to play small stakes on barrera to break to 15,30 or 40 just got 22/1 13th game.
He is certainly handling the De Schepper serve very well at teh moment. Im just gna ride out my 2-0 though. Cashed my outright win bet out for 80% profit. Not worth riding that out as I don’t know how he will respond to the pressure later in the set. But he looks good right now.
nice mate hopefully comes in for you. didn’t touch him to win outright just went +3.5.
There it is Sparky mate! Breaks to 15! so glad i happened to watch his match the other day, never would have gone near him otherwise!
AD your a legend mate ! nice heads up on this match
did u see the price 6-0 400/1 or 5-0 250/1.wish I jumped on that for small lol
Ad – thanks for the heads up! Cashed out at 2-0 second set for a very tidy sum.
6-1 lol
haha, that wouldve been something! I just put a small bet on under 7.5 games in set 2 @ 7/2 seems pretty generous.
No worries fellas, just relieved to have called it right. World number 435….could’ve been embarrassing for me!
21/5 winner, caviar dinner :D
Whammy! Good stuff Ad.
Whammy indeed! cheers mate. Shoudve tipped the 2-0, didn’t want to look stupid though, which is always the risk with underdogs!
Evening Guys, Darts
Barneveld v Huybrechts
As Scott as pointed out Kim has never lost to Barney all on the tour, but this is a step up playing in the Premier league. Kim is averaging O97 this season while Barney is at 94. RVB will also have the throw so Kim will need to break him at least once and maybe twice if he doesn’t hold on to his throw. I am taking Kim draw no bet at 5/4 William Hill. The 180s line is set at 5.5 and with a close match anticipated I will take the overs at 8/11 Ladbrokes.
HUYBRECHTS DNB 5/4
O5.5 TOTAL MATCH 180s 8/11
Lewis v Bunting
A must win game for Bunting who as been disappointing for me he as found the Premier league tough going and is struggling for wins on the tour. Lewis drew with MVG last week and he does play better against the better players. He should win but I cant trust him at odds on or include him in my acca. The bet I do like is for him to cover his 180 line which is set at 3.5. He tops the league with MVG with 16 in the league. It is evens at Paddy Power.
LEWIS O3.5 TOTAL 180s 1/1
My double tonight is MVG & Taylor both to win. They both drew last week, however their is a bit of needle between Wright and MVG. Wright has the throw so MVG will be putting on the pressure from the off to try and get an early break. Wade let slip a lead to Gary Anderson last week and while he has won his last two meetings with Taylor I have no doubt Taylor will be out to set the record straight. It should be close but Taylor to sneak home.
MVG & TAYLOR BOTH TO WIN 6/5
WEEKLY SPECIALS
I was a missed double 12 away from landing a 10/1 winner for a nine darter as Huybrechts missed. I always maintain it is worth a small punt on this as it gives you a running bet all night. It is the same with a 170 checkout. The bookies have trimmed the odds of a nine darter to 8/1 with the sponsors Betway, while the top checkout is 4/1 Betvictor.
Good luck if your having a bet
Ohhh crapp..was on thr go and im seeing right now i just missed a banker :D dammnit
Super League Hull v Leeds Ko 8pm
The KC stadium is the venue as the unbeaten Leeds Rhinos put that record on the line against Hull. The Rhinos are favourites but I think it could be a close game.
Hull have lost 2 of their 3 games but by 1pt and by 4pts while Leeds who pride themselves on a strong defence have conceded 28pts and 30pts in two of their 3 games.
In the try scorer market I am taking ex black n white Winger Tom Briscoe at evens and the man who took his spot the speedster Jamie Schaul 11/8 Ladbrokes. Briscoe scored 90 tries in 147 games for Hull and as scored 3 in 3 this season. Schaul has scored twice already this season.
This should be a good game, and a real scrap with the forwards and the 6pts Hull are getting on the handicap is just about right for me. I believe Leeds will pick up another win in a closely fought contest. The bet for me is Leeds to win by 1-12pts. It is 2/1 Ladbrokes.
BRISCOE TO SCORE 1/1
SCHAUL TO SCORE 11/8
LEEDS TO WIN BY 1-12PTS 2/1
Good luck if your having a bet
heat fell 3 short of the spread last night , but tonight for a change gonna take r westbrook to hit 30 points , ( me and jordan on a small bet as 2 games only )
for the stats guys dallas are 8 and 0 on the under so may want a look at that vs portland. set at 198

Great start on the darts chief mate, full house in game one and a 170 out shot and almost a 9 dart leg. Got 10/3 on the max checkout and took Huybrechts at 15/8. Cheers mate.
Wade is playing decent but Taylor is shocking wat a waste of money that was
@Jordan and @Huggy can see you tip for Westbrook but can’t find it on both bet365 or 10bet on my mobile?
Wow I take that back that was some come back from the power
Take back my previous question boys, me being hopeless and looking at the match line pages ;)
Tsurenko takes first set 6-4 :D
lets do this in 2.
Ad do you think Hantuchova will beat Ula?
Ad, im backing up Tsurenko, hopefully she wins and ill be ending the day in profit. fingers crossed :)
but cant find a live stream…im nervous!!
I hope so. I tipped her to win the tournament so could really do with her winning tonight! She should do. It might come down to how many first serves she makes, but assuming she doesn’t have a bad day in that respect I fancy her to have a bit too much for Radwanska. I’ve had a small go on 2-0.
Puma – i feel ya. It’s painful not being able to watch and just checking the score praying for the point to go the right player! Tsurenko had 0-40 on Bacsinszky’s serve in the second game of the set but lost it. Gutted. I was trying to cash out but couldnt do it in time!
pheeeww, at least I wasnt here…when I stake some large amount I just cant watch it :D
but now im looking at the scoreboard and feels comfy for now :)
should be 2-0 !! lets break now 4-2 !

GL if you follow
Very profitable evening. Five out of six coupled with Salah anytime at 5’s. Noice :)
I think I’ll lump on Hantuchova, carefully controlling the cash out!
And there’s the break. As I can’t follow the action I’m taking the money and running.
was tempted to bet prematch but just wanted to see how things goes in the first games…
I backed at 3-0 first set at around evens, had a feeling its a tsurenkos night again :D and there it is Break for 4-2 :)
lets celebrate already? dunnno if cover now bet, or leave it as it is…:S
good call AD was 15-40 already :SS
Bacsinszky breaks straight back. The good news is she hasn’t been comfortable on serve all night.
wow u really have a feel for it m8…I took the money aswell :P but got cut off with the rebreak now, was just to slow.
Any tennis tips tonight Ad mate?
4-4 and 0-40 for another break Baczinsky…crazyy..cheers ad for the tip to cash out, its getting dangerous here.
Did people manage to get out with their profit intact?? I cashed out my 2-0 bet as well just in time luckily. Nearly held on for a bit more profit, but swings in women’s tennis have kicked me in the nuts too many times before!
yeah the profit is still there, its iight :)
Timea serves for 2ns set…any inplay in this match further Ad ?
NBA/NHL double
Portland/Dallas Over 193.5
Tampa Bay Lightning ML
1.13/1 @ 888sport
Nothing else tonight I don’t think Shotty. I’ve got a small bet on Hantuchova 2-0 Radwanska but i’m not too confident in that.
Already tipped: Goerges/Gajdosova/Garcia @ 3/1 (early tomorrow morning/tomorrow)
I’ll add another upset shout that looks decent: Coric d Troicki @ 2/1 (davis cup tomorrow)
And I can’t resist another treble:
Seppi d Golubev (davis cup)
Kokkinakis d Rosol (davis cup)
Barrere d Corrie (quimper challenger)
pays 4.68 w bet 365
NOt going back into this one. couple of quid back on Tsurenko @ 9/2 but I’m happy with my winnings so far and don’t want to give them back!
Am liking OKC Thunder +1.0 @ $1.92
Line has been dropping on Bulls but not sure why as Westbrook is playing and butler & rose are out. OKC line was -4.0 last time I checked and now it’s +1.0 so I’ll take it.
Attila, The Thunder are -1 on 365 would you still take that?
Ibaka over 13.5 points Evens NAP
Westbrook over 10.5 assists 5/6
Kanter over 13.5 points 5/6
It’s hard not being able to watch a tennis match. No idea what the story is, just the score. A bit if changr ok 0,1 and 2 to Hantuchova second set but can’t do much else with no clue of what’s going down. Maybe a few on the win @ 7/2, hmmmm. Maybe just go to bed and wait for something I can actually follow properly tomorrow!
Altu – take OKC at the money line around $1.85 instead of the -1.0
*A bit of change on*
lillard over 5.5 assists
over 24.5 Alrdige points
both tempting @5/6
Hantuchova only winming 47% of the points where she gets her first serve in….that is shocking. Looks like curtains. Need Pav to lift the title now!
Ibaka is in before Half time! Sweet!
WN nice work on Big Serge. Hoping the Bulls keep it close so Westbrook stays in the game and goes off on one. 17 points so I need 13. Off to bed so hopefully a nice winner in the morning. Night mate.
Me and huggy have mutually decided on Westbrook to have another good game after his 4th triple double in a row. I’m on Westbrook over 29.5 points @ 10/11 @ WillHill
Other prices are 30.5 @ 5/6 @ 365/PP
10/11 5/6 **WIN** 3rd quarter 31 and counting
It’s official. The Thunder are my team and Westbrook is my man crush! Wonder how that MVP price will look when I get up. Work at 9 urgh!
jordan crushed it with 15 to play ..great shout
Cheers Huggy At least we don’t have to worry about who wins now. I’ll be back in the afternoon so let me know what you think. Few spreads up on 365 already.
cheers Jordan, followed you with Westbrook and like you was happy to see it so close at HT. Steamed in, having a massive massive season is Westbrook.
Cheers WN. I kept hearing the commentators screaming Westbrook and couldn’t go to sleep. Could be close to another 50 point game at this rate. My late night football double just rolled in too so decent finish to the night. Until tomorrow boys.
