DARTS BETTING TIPS FOR THE 2009 UK OPEN

As always, Phil "The Power" Taylor stands above the competition like a colossus in the Paddy Power betting market for the 2009 UK Open. As it currently stands, Taylor is odds-on at 10/11 to take the tournament victory over a very substantial field. His closest competition is James Wade who carries a price of 6/1. Gary Anderson is available alongside Raymond van Barneveld at 10/1 before the odds take another big jump to Robert Thornton who carries a 22/1 price. Mervyn King is listed at 25/1 just ahead of Adrian Lewis at 28/1 with Terry Jenkins and Mark Walsh both sitting at 33/1. Other notables include Wayne Mardle at 100/1, Co Stompe at 66/1 and Jelle Klaasen at 40/1. Paddy Power is offering each-way betting at 1/2 on the first two places- that's good value on an each-way. The matches get under way shortly and the current listed prices include Gary Mawson at 2/9 over Darren Weaver who sits at 11/4. Mick McGowan is 2/1 to beat John Part who carries a 1/3 price. Gary Anderson can also be backed at 1/3 against Paul Nicholson's 2/1 price. There is not much between Gary Welding and John Kuczynski who are straight down the middle at 5/6 each. Toon Greebe (awesome name) is the 2/9 favourite to beat out James Barton at 11/4. Alex Roy is also a big favourite to defeat Richie Burnett who sits at 9/4. Keep in mind on the match betting you can run multipliers, accumulators and all sorts of exotic bets to make those short-odds favourites pay out even more!
