S.P.Read Esq: MVG v Anderson

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the darts semi-final on Saturday between Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

A profit of 79.5 points to start the New Year in style yesterday when SPURS beat CHELSEA !

The darts is still on….. so Christmas isn’t over just yet, right ?

We’re reaching the final furlong at the Ally Pally and there’s a cracker of a semi-final on Saturday as defending champion Michael van Gerwen takes on Gary Anderson who was a finalist himself in 2011.

MVG is looking very good for the repeat win and booked his place in a third successive semi-final with a sensational 170 checkout against Robert Thornton securing a 5-2 win. His average of 105.26 was his highest ever in the PDC Championships and he also knocked in the small matter of 13 maximums – unlucky for Thornton who battled back well in the game.

Anderson also came through his semi-final in style beating Peter Wright 5-1 on New Year’s Day. It was Wright who MVG beat in last year’s final to take his first title.

MVG is around 1/2 with Star Sports fixed odds for the win which is no surprise.

On the spreads I’m most interested in the total 180’s market on Star Spreads and I’m a seller at 25.2 which looks a tad high.
