AT THE time of posting, LockupTipster is on track for 4/4 on Monday night's tips. His first three bets all landed at odds of 4-5, 1-1 and 5-6 with a 7-5 chance still to come. What a start he's made as the site's darts tipster with 5/6 winners so far.
He's already on the ball with Tuesday's tips so here goes…
With the first round done and dusted, we have half the amount of games to look at, with four on Tuesday and four on Wednesday.
The Tuesday order of play:
- M Smith Vs J Lewis
- Chisnall Vs Klassen
- MVG Vs K Huybrechts
- A Lewis Vs M Webster
Backing all the favourites pays just 7/4 with Boylesports, although if you fancy all upsets on the night you will easily get over 250/1.
Having a look at the darts, Michael Smith opens up the evening against Jamie Lewis, where the Welshman showed courage in his win over O'Connor. Facing the World number 8 Smith, the pressure will be on Smith to deliver after a near tourney-ender in his opener with Gerwyn Price. Price led for much of the game and Smith had trouble getting started on several occasions. Smith was panicking with him switching all around the board at times, and that in my opinion was a concern, and in other ways a lack of experience in this format.
Smith is a firm 1/3 to progress with Lewis at 9/4 and with a race to three sets, both players will have more time to settle down in the game. Smith leads the head to head 5-3, although the Welshman did beat Smith in their last meeting earlier this year, with all other meetings on the floor and in the youth development system. One bet we do like the look of is Lewis to hit three or more maximums. Bookies rate this between 4/7 and 11/13 so some difference in opinion here. I could not recommend a price below 4/5, and Bet365 offer this. With the length of the game, this has every chance of landing.
Other bets we do like is Adrian Lewis as a double stacker for most 180s at 4/7 with Skybet. Lewis is a more natural thrower than Webster, and with Webster's Dartitus issues in the past, we looked like we were starting to see some of the old form of Webby and will stay with Lewis during the game.
You can expect Jackpot to win the maximums tally. When we looked at the maximum price for Chisnall, our thoughts were below 1/2, and we have found 5/8 from the Betfair Sportsbook, and they offer a rather tasty 2.47 on the double, so nearly 6/4, which is enough to give us a no bet on the MVG game as we want to identify quality over quantity.
Recommendations:
J Lewis – over 2.5 180s – 4/5 Bet365 (No bet below this price) 1pt
A Lewis and D Chisnall most match 180s – 2.47 Double at Betfair 1.5 pts

First time betting on darts tonight and just went over 180’s on a few games, been making more money than I have been on football!
Get on Anderson most 180s tonight, do it inplay.
Be wary of Chisnall most 180s he’s a cracking player but once Klaasen gets a rhythm going he can match anyone. His finishing and general scoring consisteny is what has let him down but on his day he can outscore anyone and do it in very quick style (He was so close to knocking eventual winner Anderson out of the world champs last time).
Thanks for the 4 last night, paid well as a straight 4 fold
I can not find anywhere who hit more 180s anderson or henderson????
Fleggy, I don’t know the figures but surely it was Anderson as he lost only one leg.
Was four a piece fleggy
Cheers wazza unfortunately not what I wanted to hear lol
It was 2-2 in the 180 markets it done my treble
Terry Jenkins 25/1 each way. I think he has a great chance on reaching the final with Taylor now out his section of the draw.
Well done last night on the 4 tips very nice keep up the good work
These are my selections for today:
Singles:
Chisnel vs Klaasen, over 7.5 180’s 5/6 B365 **NB**
Van Gerwin vs Huybrechts, Huybrechts over 3.5 180’s 11/8 B365
Double:
Smith vs Lewis, Smith most 180’s
Lewis vs Webster, over 3.5 sets
11/8 B365 **NAP**
Good luck all
The Anderson – Henderson game ended with 2 maximums apiece. It was my NAP yesterday. A night of shocks last night and I was reading, it is the first Major tournament that Taylor & RVB have gone out in the 1st round ever.
thechief, thanks for that. Didn’t see the stats just knew Anderson had dominated going by the report in today’s Record.
What’s your picks for tonight the chief
The 180s was a draw in the Anderson game, meaning most bookies would have considered it as a loser, some may void it as a draw if you’re very very lucky. Thorton most 180s won, which I was very happy about as i didnt think he would.
Looking forward to tonights Darts, short odds but will read the comments and have a good look!
Coral certainly did not void it Johnny ! I had Thornton and Anderson for most 180s Evs and 4/5 and also over 10.5 legs in king Jenkins match ! Looking onto tonight and with it being a slightly longer format I fully expect to see the 4 favs winning but a bit more of a spectacle I have done. Trixie on smith Lewis and van gerwin king of the oche 11/5 13/8 and 8/5 respectively
I doubt any bookies will void it as you can bet on the draw in the most 180s market.
beeinspired, I like Lewis to get most 180s just looking for something to double it up with.
Hoping for a 9 darter tonight and when MVG played Huybrechts in the grand slam of darts, Kim hit the 9 darter, hopefully history repeats itself. Was close to landing it last night.
J.Lewis, MvG, A.Lewis @ 4.25/1
I cannot stand Smith and he has a tendency to lose his temper on stage. Smith nearly lost his opener and I have a feeling the pressure may get to him here.
Well done Jack with the Lewis win, he really did play well and to come back like that was superb.
Evening Guys, Grand Prix Darts
Four really good looking games tonight and it should be a cracker. My NAP is a bit short at 4/6 but it should sail in and it is MVG O3.5 total 180s at Coral.
These two have met 4 times this year with MVG winning 3 including the UK open. Huybrechts won the last meeting and this should be a good one. MVG hit 5 in his opener and the style and flow of KIM’s game and how aggressive he gets on the oche will suit MVG down to the ground. He is at his best went being pushed and I think he will get O4.5 180s at 6/4 Bet365.
Adrian Lewis is a prolific scorer he hit 2 maximums in just 7 legs in destroying RVB. Webster isn’t a heavy maximum guy he hit only 1 in 12 legs in beating Bunting. Lewis is short enough in the match 180s so I am taking him on the handicap. He is 11/10 -1.5 at Coral.
MVG 03.5 TOTAL 180s 4/6 NAP
MVG O4.5 TOTAL 180s 6/4
LEWIS -1.5 TOTAL 180s 11/10
Good luck if your having a bet
Is it amateur night tonight or something?
Singles:
Chisnel vs Klaasen, over 7.5 180′s 5/6 B365 **NB** WON
Van Gerwin vs Huybrechts, Huybrechts over 3.5 180′s 11/8 B365 WON
Double:
Smith vs Lewis, Smith most 180′s
Lewis vs Webster, over 3.5 sets
11/8 B365 **NAP** LOST
Decent nights action at the Darts. Disappointed for Lewis who was clearly under the weather, but anyone who was on my MVG tip outright, is looking good as the draw has opened up for him tonight. Pleased for Klaasen, a good player who off the oche issues have seen him drop down the rankings the past 2-3yrs, a few wins on the tour and now a ranking quarter final, will do him good.
MVG 03.5 TOTAL 180s 4/6 NAP WON
MVG O4.5 TOTAL 180s 6/4 WON
LEWIS -1.5 TOTAL 180s 11/10 LOST
Klaasen seems to be improving, people forget he’s only 30 but he’s been around for years. Hes young in darting terms really hope he can achieve more in the pdc. One of my favourite players to watch (when he gets it right)
