What a performance from Wright, Larry Murphy-esque

Even if Van Gerwen beats Lewis the final will be far from a gimme.

Money for Van Gerwen now, the money was spot on in the 1st semi, hopefully it is here too

Excellent from snakebite. Bagged himself a premier league spot and giaranteed 100k maybe more if he plays like that. Think Lewis will win it(backed him) as mvg is only fav because of his players champ win imo.

Colonel Sanders

Just thinking, is MVG throwing first? Hence the punt?

Always happens irrational as it is

Clonsuttonlad

MVG is such an exciting player. Marked improvement in standard in this game.

Hulk Hands

This is amazing

Colonel Sanders

Lewis has averaged 105 & is still 2-0 down

MVG only looked in 1st gear up til the start of this game but is top of his game so far. Let hope he doesn't throw a wobbly as he's prone to do sometimes

Ye, he's his own biggest danger when in this kind of form. Brilliant to watch though!

Van Gerwen is simply ridiculous when in this form

It's an absolute joy to watch.

jimjamcos

Some darts, some darts. MVG a machine!

Colonel Sanders

Shocking darts from Lewis but dear god Van Gerwen was awesome

Was anyone predicting 6-0 beforehand??? Checked Betfair when Van Gerwen went 2-0 up in the 6th and to my surprise it was "only" around 40/1 pre match. I'd have thought bigger in a 4/5, 5/4 match up

Colonel Sanders

Tried get 50ew Van Gerwen with powers at 11/2 just as he was finishing Taylor off in the players championship. Was knocked back but to my shock they actually offered 45 each way so don't have too much to complain about. 1.27 to beat Peter Wright which might be a small bit short but with the place part in the bag no need to worry about hedging, which is for girls in any case

Screw darts law and order on.

Do you watch the darts Urban?

The PDC is serious entertainment, the standard just gets better each year. I watch the BDO but it's special category compared to PDC

Colonel Sanders

And to think had Anderson not done his usual throwing in the towel trick Van Gerwen may have been on the same plane home as Barney.....

Shameless bump , hoping to have the PDC winner for the 4th year in a row (although Taylor was short enough last year)

Managed to back Van Gerwen at 11/2 for the PDC there. 5.2 to lay on Betfair

I'm under severe pressure this year, managed to back the winner the last 3 years

I hate to tell you but you are.

I was down in my ma's on New Years day about 4 years ago and she asked me what I did New Years Eve and told her I was at a party, I asked her what she did, "Hoot Nanny" was the reply.

Took to me a while to figure out what she was on about, but she repeated it a few times ala Peter Kay and the penny dropped.

My ma is deadly, she was going on about having a few quid saved and was going to buy this and that and I said listen to Puff Daddy, ma said "I thought he was called P Diddily theses days" :cool:

Interesting! I do a good bit of punting on the money match circuit, just seeing if anyone would be interested in action.
