Euro Tour 5

This Euro tour is the first time in a very long time to have no Luke present. No Littler, no Humphries, and not even Woodhouse. This should present an opportunity to other players.

One of those being Gary Anderson. Anderson is reigning and defending back to back champion of the European Darts Grand Prix. It’s likely the reason he has entered it instead of giving it a miss like most tournaments. Pair that with his draw and he has quite the chances in this tournament.

There is also the argument to be made that in this tournament with no lukes, Nijman is the best player. He is number 1 by about 50k on the pro tour order of merit and will be trying to extend that buffer. A good result here also puts him on a provisional seeded spot in the worlds top 16 come the matchplay.

Bigger price picks in great form include Ratajski, Cullen, Doets and Zonneveld. All of these players have had semi-finals or better in the last handful of events and I expect they’ll keep it up. Certainly the prices are too big to ignore.

3 points e/w Gary Anderson at 12/1

2 points e/w Wessel Nijman at 10/1

1 point e/w Joe Cullen at 100/1

1 point e/w Kevin Doets at 40/1

1 point e/w Ratajski at 66/1

1 point e/w Niels Zonneveld at 50/1

There are also some interesting match bet opportunities. Masino qualified for the euro tour with a first 9 average of 83. Then there are two of the best 180 hitters in the world playing in what could be a feast for the eyes. It’s also worth having Cullen against Kuivenhoven.
