Last night was a great night, where nearly everything went right. Hopefully you kept the faith as we went 6-2 with one non-runner thanks to John MaGowan pulling out through injury. That means we had a starting profit of +7.96 units.

So an encouraging start to the UK Open, some big profits and now that the big guns are in the mix, we’ve got the potential for a great evening of darts. Plus, some big games in store with Terry Jenkins facing off with Adrian Lewis and Co Stompe meeting Simon Whitlock. The only downside to last night? Darts Betting Tips’ favourite Mensur Suljovic forgettign what time it was and timing out for his first round match!

Well, we’re back to regularly scheduled PDC tournaments and the return of the UK Open, this year known as the Speedy Hire UK Open. You will hear the pharse “the FA Cup of darts” more times than “under stacker” or “top tungsten” over the next few days. That being said, it is a great tournament and there will be some giant killings along the way.

We finished the Premier League with a winning night and we’ll be looking to continue that into the UK Open. Now, with the strange open draw format, we will only be able to send tips out for the first round of matches every day. So, tonight’s tips are going to be for the first round of the UK Open only. Then we’ll have the third round tips on Friday and so on up until the final day’s play. It’s awkward, but hey, we’ve been donig this for a while now, so I’m sure you’re used to it.

Well, this is it for Premier League Darts 2011. We’re in London for the last few matches of the tournament and it’s down to Phil Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld, Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis fighting it out for the title.

A frustrating night from Newcastle last week. But we did go 2-1.

That takes us to 23-26 and -18.17. A very strong 7.5 unit profit last week and if it wasn’t for Adrian Lewis bottling it against Gary Anderson, it would have a glorious way to end the league stages of the Premier League Darts season.

And so the final week of the regular Premier League Darts season is here and they’re in Newcastle. It’s my home leg, but sadly I won’t be there this year. There is always a great atmosphere in the Metro Radio Arena and I’ll be sad to miss it. Still, not much left to play for, with only one spot in the play-offs still to be decided.

Last week we went 3-3, taking us to 21-25 and -26.67 units.

I’ll be the first to admit, the Premier League has been a disaster, but we’ve got some matches left to make some of it back and set us up nicely for the UK Open.

Well, Liverpool hit us badly last week. We got unlucky with Terry Jenkins not managing to squeak out an extra maximum when we needed it and Gary Anderson’s scoring boots just weren’t on.

That puts us at 18-22 and -21.24 units fior the Premier League. Not the greatest and we’ve been missing out by small margins. We’ve got three weeks left to cut that back and save face until the UK Open in June.

The Premier League bandwagon hits the south coast and, more specifically, Bournemouth. Raymond van Barneveld has a lot of history here, with his magnificent 9-darter and it’s always an explosive night of Premier League Darts action.

Well, I hope you had a great Easter (if not the chocolate, at lesat the time off work) and I hope you have tomorrow off to celebrate the royal wedding. By celebrate the royal wedding, I mean have a long lie-in after sitting up watching the Premier League Darts action from Liverpool.

Last week we went 2-1 and it was all down to Terry Jenkins taking out a bull finish when it really didn’t seem likely. That takes us to 17-19 for the Premier League and -13.53 units for the season.

We’re in Liverpool for week 12 of the Premier League and we’ve got an absolutely cracking match in store, although it’s not even the main event.
