PHIL TAYLOR FACING A MUST-WIN SITUATION: GRAND SLAM OF DARTS BETTING TIPS

After dropping a 5-4 result to Andy Jenkins at the weekend, Phil Taylor has it all to do coming up against Vincent van der Voort in the Grand Slam of Darts tonight with the loser having to pack his backs and head home. Both Taylor and van der Voort are listed on two points from two games in the group stages in Wolverhampton. Andy Hamilton and Adrian Lewis can both qualify to go through is they take out Simon Whitlock and James Wade. Getting into the playoff stages will be big accomplishments for these players who were listed at longer odds going into the tournament than they are at now. Phil Taylor is the defending champ and is expected to push it all the way to the final. He will need to dispose of van der Voort first. Taylor Heavy FavouriteTaylor is listed as an incredibly heavy favourite in this one, carrying odds of 1-14 with a van der Voort victory paying out at 6-1. While many of the other games are considered total toss-ups, the bookies seem to consider this one a done deal. Adrien Lewis to WinFor Tuesday's action, I'm confident that Adrian Lewis will overcome the favourite Wade and I'm also going to have to go with the favourite Raymond van Barneveld in his match-up against Gary Mawson.The odds will be thrown wide open if Taylor is upset by van der Voort, however, with van Barneveld the likely candidate to emerge as odds-on favourite.
