BDO STATEMENT

DAVE PRINS v WILLY VAN DE WIEL

Quote:
The BDO has been advised that there are betting patterns relating to the above match that may warrant further investigation. It has not yet been provided with the detail but is expecting full cooperation from the bookmakers affected.

The BDO takes its responsibility to protect the integrity of the great sport of darts very seriously. To that end, it has put in place a detailed Code of Practice on Betting and Related Activity (http://www.bdodarts.com/uploads/files/Betting.pdf) that gives it broad investigative and disciplinary powers in matters such as this. Using its powers under the Betting Code, it will now open a formal investigation into this matter.

It has already instructed its lawyers, who are specialists in this area, to assist it in pursuing the investigation robustly and efficiently, so as to ensure the integrity of the sport is protected while at the same time respecting its obligation to treat those being investigated fairly.

As part of the investigation, information will be gathered from all pertinent parties, including the players themselves, the match officials, the bookmakers, and others, in order to determine, based on the available evidence, whether or not there is a case to answer for breach of the BDO's rules. If it is determined that there is a case to answer, the BDO will pursue it vigorously.

Christian Kist won his first BDO world title on his Lakeside debut after a thrilling 7-5 win over Tony O'Shea.

For the first time in the tournament, the Dutchman, 25, lost the first set, but recovered to win four of the next five to lead 4-2 at the interval.

After the break, Kist won the next two sets to move within a set of victory.

O'Shea, who reached the final in 2009, won the next three sets to set up a tense finish but Kist soaked up the pressure to seal a brilliant win.:clap:

Not for a while if he has any sense or he'll run the risk of becoming the next Jellie Klassen and once you've jumped you can't jump back, I can understand Hankey or even O'Shea going for one last pay day but time is on Kist's side.

But the risk by not going is missing the chance to try and improve his skills. Though I agree with you that there would be a risk of another Klassen

Two-time PDC world champion Adrian Lewis will play world number one Phil Taylor in the opening week of the 2012 Premier League in Manchester.

The Stoke-on-Trent duo will meet on 9 February in a repeat of the first fixture in the 2011 tournament.

On that occasion, Lewis beat Taylor 8-2 at the O2 Arena in London.

Gary Anderson, who beat Lewis in the final to win the Premier League last year, starts the defence of his title against debutant Kevin Painter.

Elsewhere, James Wade will play Andy Hamilton and Raymond van Barneveld takes on Simon Whitlock.

The eight players meet each other twice in the group stages, with the top four moving on to the play-offs at the O2 Arena on 17 May.

Taylor is a five-time winner of the Premier League, but his challenge in 2011 was ended by Lewis in the semi-finals at Wembley.

However, Lewis could not follow up his 8-3 victory over the 15-time world champion and was beaten 10-4 by Scotland's Anderson in the final later that evening.

That's interesting. Didn't he 'collapse' in the BDO? I heard the other day that semi-finalists onwards at the BDO have to hand back their prize money if they defect to the PDC (though Ted has been let off this - I think he threatened to not play his semi-final if he didn't get a waiver)

Adrian Lewis has set his sights on being the world number one by the end of the year.

To achieve his goal, the 27-year-old must dethrone fellow Stoke thrower and 15-time world champion Phil Taylor.

But Lewis has made a flying start to 2012, successfully defending his PDC world crown as he beat another rival from the Potteries, Andy Hamilton, 7-3 in the final at London's Alexandra Palace earlier this month.

'Jackpot' still has his critics despite winning the world title twice, but knows that if he can claim the No.1 ranking and oust Taylor then there will be no disputing his status in the game.

"It's a brilliant way to start the year," said Pipe. "Paul's always a tough opponent so I'm delighted to have won the final, and it wasn't as easy as the scoreline might suggest.

You will have to cast your mind back to December 2010 to the last World Cup, the inaugural tournament. Heavy snow had gripped the north, but that didnt stop the Dutch pair of Raymond van Barneveld and Co Stompe taking the title, beating the Welsh pair of Barrie Bates and Mark Webster in the final. Top seeds in 2010 England, who had paired Phil Taylor and James Wade together, suffered the biggest upset of the competition, after being knocked out in the second round by the Spanish pair of Antonio Alcinas and Carlos Rodriguez.

Phil Taylor hit a nine-dart finish as he battled back from 4-1 down to defeat Kevin Painter in the second week of the Premier League season.

The Power lit up the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre by landing treble 20, treble 17 and then double 18 to check out 147 in the 10th leg.

The 15-time world champion's ninth televised nine-darter levelled matters at five apiece and sent the already raucous crowd into a frenzy. Even Painter applauded another moment of magic from his opponent, who quickly went on to wrap up an 8-5 triumph that briefly put him top of the table.

Raymond van Barneveld also got his first win of the campaign as he came from 6-4 to beat Andy Hamilton 8-6.

Taylor stole the show though, as he was in sensational form as he produced a brilliant performance against Whitlock, with the Australian doing well to win the four legs as 'The Power' remained unbeaten and top of the McCoys Premier League Darts table.

Not only did the 15-time world champion break a Premier League record with his 117.35 three-dart average, he also stuck in four 180s and was almost flawless with an 80 per cent checkout rate to prove he is right back at his best.
What more can we say about this great man.

Quote:
Double-defending world champion Lewis just did not show up as he was woefully below par allowing Anderson to clear up with a comfortable 8-1 victory.

Quote:
Hamilton and van Barneveld did not miss a double between them in the first six legs as The Hammer moved into a 4-2 lead against the big Dutchman.

Barney stormed back though and took four legs on the bounce from 6-4 down to win 8-6, thanks to a nightmare finish for Hamilton as he missed four doubles to grab a draw.

Quote:
While Barney had two draws to his name, Wade had lost all three of his previous games but finally broke that run by beating Painter 8-6, and he admitted he had not been as focused as he should have been this season.

Phil Taylor continued his unbeaten start to the McCoy's Premier League Darts season with an 8-1 thrashing of Gary Anderson in Brighton.

Although his average finally dipped under 100, ending up at 99.88 thanks to a host of missed doubles in the final leg, the 15-time world champion was never troubled as he went three points clear at the league summit.

Defending champion Anderson, who began the night one point behind Taylor in the standings, made a promising start but soon let the match get away from him.
Quote:
At the other end of the table, double world champion Adrian Lewis continued his miserable start to the Premier League campaign as he was defeated 8-4 by Simon Whitlock.

Whitlock signalled his intent by taking out 118 in the first leg, but Lewis was able to hang with him for the first half of a match that contained a total of 15 180s
Quote:
Elsewhere, James Wade moved off the foot of the table after claiming an 8-6 victory over Raymond van Barneveld.

Wade looked to be heading for a comfortable victory as he moved 6-1 ahead, with an 11-darter in the seventh leg following checkouts of 110 and 154 in the fifth and sixth respectively.
Quote:
In the opening match of the night, World Championship runner-up Andy Hamilton peppered the trebles early on but still slumped to an 8-5 defeat at the hands of Kevin Painter.

The win moves Australian Whitlock up to second-place in the table, but he is once again playing second fiddle to Phil Taylor who romped to a sixth successive victory.

Taylor averaged 106 en route to a comfortable 8-3 win over Andy Hamilton, however another Stoke thrower props up the table after Adrian Lewis crashed to an 8-6 defeat at the hands of the resurgent James Wade.

Scotland's Robert Thornton shocked Phil Taylor 11-5 in the final of the Speedy Services UK Open in Bolton to win his first major title.

The 15-time world champion was attempting to win his fifth UK Open title but he had no answers to the rampant Scotsman in a one-sided final.

Taylor led 2-0 in the best-of-21 leg final but the wheels came off his challenge in the third leg as he missed 10 darts at a double and Thornton hit double one to get on the board.

The Stoke veteran steadied the ship to lead 3-2, but from there on it was almost all one-way traffic.

Thornton hit double top to break and lead 4-3, then took out 106 to lead 5-3. That quickly became 9-3 as Taylor continued to wobble on the finishes as Thornton took ruthless advantage.

Taylor did manage to win the 13th leg but Thornton continued to hold with ease and at 10-5 he hit a 121 checkout with a bullseye finish to take the title.

He also wins £40,000 and a place in the Grand Slam of Darts.

It is a sport i watch. I don't watch it because it has UK, GB, or any other country. I watch individuals.

And if not mistaken, they play as individuals, not as representatives for their country.

Dolan reaches semi-finals

Home favourite Brendan Dolan returned to the semi-finals of the PartyPoker.com World Grand Prix with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Justin Pipe in Dublin.

The Irishman faces Mervyn King next after he cruised past Robert Thornton, the conqueror of Phil Taylor, 3-0 in the last of Friday night's quarter-finals.

Michael van Gerwen had it tougher as he battled his way into the last four with a 3-2 defeat of Andy Hamilton.

Newton is the final seed still standing after he produced a remarkable comeback to stun Paul Nicholson 3-2 and move one win away from the final.
