Live on Bet365 TV: Tue: 10:30 Championship League Darts returns this week. The Daily Star’s veteran sports writer Kevin Francis likes the look of Aussie Simon Whitlock.
The world’s top throwers will battle it out in the Winners’ Group stage of the Championship League Darts on Thursday after the final two groups have taken place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
This £200,000 tournament reaches its climax as the battle for the £10,000 first prize hots up at Crondon Park GC in Essex. The event is played behind closed doors and screened live on the internet at Bet365 with Group One winner Phil Taylor, as expected, the odds-on 4/11 favourite with Paddy Power and Boylesports to land the outright title on Thursday.
For those of you looking for a long-priced each-way shot, Steve Beaton could be your man. He secured a place in the Winners’ Group by claiming a debut win in Group Six, beating Vincent van der Voort 6-3 – and the former world champion is a stand-out each-way bet at 33/1 with bet365, Boylesports, Victor Chandler and William Hill.
Play takes place behind closed doors at Crondon Park GC in Essex.
Recommended bets: Simon Whitlock is a very tempting at 13/2 for the title with 888sport and Bluesquare .
The Aussie ace won Group Three, beating the fancied Gary Anderson 6-2 in the final, and can mount a serious challenge in the Winners’ Group on Thursday.
