1/10 taylor skybet, it's an absolute banker. He'd have to fall over in ill health to lose lol!! Obviously u gotta do at least a g on it for it to be worthwhile, just worth a look for big punters like me

Did £2500 on it, so I've put my own money on the line on this one

is a brave bet, have seen taylor lose when he was 1-33 so nothing is certain. i hope he wins for you anyway. jut pointing out that nothing is ever certain.

Henry Cecil once had a 1/10 shot at Windsor on a Monday eveing several years ago called Starlight Night. Eight lengths clear in the straight and he goes lame. Pulled up and hobbled over the line in third. I would lay 1/10 shots all day. Look how many lose in the tennis every tournament.

Agreed - horses and tennis BUT

There'll quite simply never be another Phil Taylor in our lifetime. Even on a bad day he's streaks ahead of his rivals.

Being the small time person I am I only had £100 on him - but it was never in any doubt. Last time he played Jenkins on the TV was the final of the Matchplay in Blackpool, forgive me I dont know the correct score but it was something like 18-4 or 18-5.

Even Barneveld looks distinctly average when he's up against Taylor.

(Of course he slips up now and again, but over a DISTANCE darts match - i.e. not first to two sets or something, he usually canters it).

I agree, but why not sign up at Betfair and get 1.14 (about 1/7).

i am not arguing he is the best darts player that will ever walk the earth
but unfortunately he does loes games here and there and i can remember him losing at odds of 1-33 and 1-16
not sure how it would pan out if you backed him every game of the season
odds are not there to give money away

As it was not 1.14 there thats why, when I looked it was 1.09. As if I'd be stupid enough not to check, when I'm staking that sort of money mate!
