Last week saw Phil Taylor maintained his 100 percent start to his Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts campaign with an 8-2 demolition of Raymond van Barneveld. Taylor takes on Mervyn King tomorrow in Manchester and Sky Bet are offering 6/4 for the world number one to keep up his unbeaten record and go on to lift the title (1/2 get beaten).
After 26 180s were hit in Exeter last week, it’s 13/8 for 25 to 29 maximums are thrown in Week 5 (9/4 24 or fewer & 11/8 30 or more). Mervyn King and Adrian Lewis shared the hours last week in the ‘who will throw the most 180s market’, they are 10/1 and 5/2 respectively to throw the most this week. It’s 11/8 that the Adrian Lewis vs Simon Whitlock match contains the most maximums with the clash of the night Phil Taylor vs Mervyn King 2/1 (10/3 Jenkins v Barney & 6/1 Wade v Baxter).
Sky Bet’s darts betting spokesman Tim Reynolds said: “Taylor has yet to reach top gear in this year’s Premier League and he could be venerable against King if he’s not firing on all cylinders. King ended Taylor’s Premier League dominance last year and he will be desperate to inflict another defeat on the world number one and close the gap at the top of the table.”
