What a fantastic first day of darts we had at the World Grand Prix in Dublin. Seriously, it doesn’t get much better than that – the crowd were electric, the matches were amazing and it was just a fantastic way to welcome darts back onto our television screens. And what about “The Power”? Was a 3-0, 3-0 score ever in doubt? Anyway, it was a day of swings and roundabouts for us at Darts Betting Tips, some nice winners and a couple of unlucky losers. We went 3-2 last night, so a 60% strike rate to start the tournament – good times!

The second day of matches at the World Grand Prix have a lot of star power, with Simon Whitlock taking the stage in the third last match of the evening, after Raymond van Barneveld and James Wade have played their first round matches. It’s a stellar line-up and I can’t wait to get my bets on, get settled down with a beer and watch the bets romp home!

Well, what a long wait for the darts to come back. Can you believe it’s been that long since the World Matchplay? But now we’re back into darts season and we’ve got the World Grand Prix, then the Grand Slam of Darts and then the big one… the World Championship. It doesn’t get any better than that. Well, darts-related, at least.

The World Grand Prix is a great event, feature a set-based scoring format and also a double-in scoring feature. So, think of it like the World Championships but with a player having to score a double before he starts. It’s a top field for the event and it’s going to be a great week and a bit of darts.

Well, we’re at the end of a fantastic tournament for Darts Betting Tips. We started off slowly, but we’ve hit the bookies hard for a 63% strike rate and +10.45 units profit. I think you’ll agree it’s not too shabby and if you’ve followed my tips, remember to drop me an e-mail and let me know what you’re spending all the profits on. Me? Well, I’ve put my money aside for a 3D TV so I can watch the World Championships in 3D in December.

We’ve got the first ever 3D final tonight and it’s going to be a cracker.

Well, I don’t know if yesterday was a bit of an anti-climax, but it was still a good day of darts and even better for Darts Betting Tips follows, as we went 2-1, with Stompe snatching a handicap win from the jaws of defeat. Typical! Phil Taylor’s destruction of Kevin Painter wasn’t unexpected and, to be honest, we’ve got the four best players in the world competing in the semi-finals. It’s always good to see that happen, as we shouldn’t get a one-sided final as can happen when a lesser player makes it this far.

However, while we’ve got the four best players in the world playing, the selling point for tonight’s darts is the fact it’s going to be in 3D. 3D darts, is it the future? Well, probably not, but it’s quite a cool idea and there are around 1,000 pubs in the country that will be showing the semi-finals in 3D. So, have a look online and see if your local is showing the action where you get to where funny glasses while having a pint. Of course, remember to put your bets on before you leave, or it’s going to be a disappointment.

What a great night last night. 4-1 for a huge night. Thanks for all the e-mails thankins me and it’s nice to know some of you are putting your winnings to good use, especially Gary, who’s off somewhere nice. Now, I don’t think we can blame Simon Whitlock for not making it 5-0 last night, as his opponent more than held his own.

An early start to the darts today, with an afternoon session starting at 1:00, so don’t miss that. We have three World Champions taking the stage today, with perhaps the most shocking being Jelle Klaase who took maximum advantage of Gary Anderson’s injury.

What a great night, considering we got off to a distinctly average start and then Vincent van der Voort made is sweat big time for the win. Then we had it comfortable with Alan Tabern firing in a huge checkout in the second leg of the match. So, a 3-2 night, which is nice considering it could easily have been 2-3, or even worse if Co Stompe hadn’t bucked up his ideas.

Quite an exciting night coming up in the darts with two of the new PDC guard taking the stage in the shame of Gary Anderson and Simon Whitlock. The greatest darts player to ever live will also make an appearance and hopefully we get the same atmosphere as we have had the first 5 nights.
