PHIL TAYLOR VS ADRIAN LEWIS LATEST ODDS AND PREMIER LEAGUE DARTS BETTING TIPS

Adrian Lewis still harbours slim hopes of making it into the semi-finals of this year’s Premier League. By the time it comes to his game those chances may have been dashed, but one thing is certain and that is he will need to achieve something that he has never before done on TV if he is to finish in the top four; beat Phil Taylor.

The former practising partners haven’t seen eye to eye since their acrimonious split and with each passing defeat the burden upon Lewis’s shoulders has increased. I can’t help but feel that until Jackpot does beat Taylor in front of the television cameras he will never be able to realise his full potential.
If results go against him meaning that he cannot finish in the top four by the time that he steps up to the ‘oche, this may be the best opportunity that Lewis ever gets of beating his old foe. With the pressure off he will be free to play his natural game, which in my opinion is good enough to beat The Power.
At odds of 8.6 (15/2) on Betfair there is great value in having a slice of that on side, and/or laying Taylor at 1.3 (1/3) is another possible option. Although Lewis is terribly inconsistent, the fact that he can hit the highs means that at these types of odds he has to be worth the risk.
Lewis’s power scoring ability makes it no surprise that he is considered to be on an even keel with the 15-time World Champion in this particular area. Odds of 6/5 the pair, with Stan James, on who will hit the most 180’s gives a perfect representation of this and I prefer to once again side with Lewis here. Taylor has a tendency to move around the board quite a bit, often choosing the treble 19 or 18 route if he blocks the bed with his first dart.
A win over Taylor would really get the monkey off Lewis’s back and if he can sneak into the semi-finals in doing so then I wouldn’t bet against him going all the way. Skybet are offering a 1000/1 on Lewis winning this year’s Premier League and by my reckoning that has got to be worth a £1 of anyone’s money.
