The 2024 World Grand Prix Darts gets underway on Monday 7th, October as 32 of…
Get ready for our Premier League Darts 2019 week four betting preview. Dublin is a city known for providing its guests with all the necessary tools for a good time, and Week Three of the 2019 Premier League Darts delighted all who witnessed the action with equal gusto.
The black stuff would have been flowing long into the night had local lad Steve Lennon, one of the nine Contenders called up by PDC head honchos to replace Gary Anderson, been able to capitalise on the 3-0 lead he took against Peter Wright.
Alas, Snakebite’s class shown through in the end as he turned things around in a 7-5 victory.
Elsewhere there was the inevitable win for Michael van Gerwen, this time 7-2 over former world champion Rob Cross, while Daryl Gurney – from north of the border in Derry – reclaimed some consolation for the Irish in a 7-5 triumph over Michael Smith.
The highest average of the night went to James Wade, whose 103.89 still wasn’t enough to see off Gerwyn Price in a high-quality 6-6 draw, and there was also a stalemate in the Mensur Suljovic vs Raymond van Barneveld contest, with the Dutchman once again rallying late to nick a point.
Matters are rather nicely poised then as we head into Week Four at Exeter’s Westpoint Arena.
One of the stories of the 2019 PDC season so far is Gerwyn Price, who is arguably playing the best darts of his life right now.
The Iceman is the co-leader in the 180 count so far, and with a tournament checkout success rate of 42.22% it’s little wonder that last year’s Premier League boy is enjoying the competition rather more this time around.
Price also won both of the ProTour events at the weekend – averaging over 100 in ten of his fourteen matches – and clearly all is well in the Welshman’s camp.
He has learned how to deal with the boo boys, and he might have to call upon that skillset in Exeter as he takes on the local(ish) Luke Humphries.
The Development Tour winner impressed everyone with his performances at the World Championships, where he came from nowhere to reach the last eight, and while he has found the transition to full-time professionalism tricky so far, the youngster from Newbury can at least rely upon the support of 99.99% of the crowd on Thursday.
Perhaps that is why the bookmakers are a little coy on Price’s chances, with Ladbrokes best odds on the Welshman at 5/6. Unibet are offering 3/1 on a Humphries victory, with the draw priced at 15/4 with Bet365.
