Premier league darts
Premier league darts starts again this evening. Volumes have been growing on the darts for some time and it’s got my attention.
I’ve been quietly expanding my knowledge and strategies in two player markets over the last couple of years and have slowly begun to get a grip on more effective ways of trading them. Darts is on my rader.
Darts is useful because the scoring system isn’t radically different from Tennis when you break it down. You have games …
Weather there is opportunity
Despite the poor weather and disruption to the sporting schedule there are still a lot of opportunities around. Yesterday seemed a surprisingly good day on the racing and Meydan helped a lot, no snow in Dubai! This morning there was some Aussie racing on first thing, so that’s set me up nicely for this afternoon.
I live not too far from Newbury and when I rose bright and early this morning I walked out to the nearest field, which was …

You sense that the future of darts in the UK is sliding towards the more regular, better funded PDC. If that means more coverage then great! I quite like darts, as it is a ‘pure’ sport. You against an opponent, it’s difficult to cheat and you win or lose on …
Is Darts the new Tennis?
Some great matches again at the PDC world darts championship this week. Dramatic comebacks from impossible positions, turnarounds, low odds turned over, high odds coming in, big matched bet turnover. Darts certainly has the characteristics of a great trading market. It’s popularity is picking up now as well.
Its scoring and ‘feel’ is similar to Tennis, you also have familiar concepts such as a break of throw / serve. But a big advantage of Darts is that the games are …
Premier league darts
I know I’ve mentioned this a few times recently but the darts markets are growing on me rapidly for a number of reasons. Generally it is because matches take place over a short period of time but display characteristics similar to other markets.
Last night we saw Phil Taylor take on RayVan Barneveld and there were two obvious trades. Taylor got off to a good start and was worth backing from the off. 6-0 up at the break and trading …
Doing darts
Sat here the other evening watching the premier league darts and suddenly realised what I am looking at is actually pretty similar to other sports in the way it is scored and played. The format of the premier league darts is also interesting with the introduction of the draw.
The underlying feeling and the way the odds move is fairly similar to other sports and can surely be traded in a similar manner. A huge benefit of course, is that …
Dave Chisnall
In this very quiet start to the year I have done a lot of catching up on new projects, some more research and in the absence of horse racing I’ve turned my hand to mainly football and darts this week.
I always enjoy the BDO championship as they are just up the road from me. Perhaps I should trade darts more often. It feels very familiar to Tennis, but generally is much faster paced and finite in length. Last night …
Lets play darts
This week sees the world BDO darts championship take place just up the road from me in Frimley. The main thing I remember about Frimley is that my twins were born there eight years ago now, not at the darts championship of course, at the local hospital! You don’t forget moments like that or the moment we discovered that we were not expecting our second child but twins. Of course lots of people emailed me and asked why I hadn’t …
