Yes, he has absolutely no competition.

If him and MvG were odds on for their respective events, I would pick Durrant to lump on.

Not quite odds on there. He will go off below evens, IMO.

Adams 20th favourite (dunno why Parletti has no odds listed there) is just plain ridiculous, given he is nowhere near qualifying for it.

Has there ever been a below evens for an pre-tournament outright?

Think Durrant was 10/11 or similar last time out?

No idea. I remember a discussion where both were odds on, might be in an old thread.

In fairness, Hogan should have beaten him and McGeeney had him by the bollocks this year and bottled it.
I'll be surprised if he doesn't win it again and after playing hardly any events either.

Id have Durrants price at around 4-6 at present. Some of the bigger prices quoted there are appalling value. Is there 1 zero or 2 missed off the end of Reynolds price?

Durrant a great bet at evens.

The only 2 players who I would give a chance to beat him is Paul Hogan and Andy Hamilton who given he is a former PDC World Championship finalist is used to the big stage pressure a match against Glen would bring.

Why is there no odds on Hogan. I thought according to Oche's ranking tables he is top of the non qualified British rankings.

Because at the moment the event is not properly confirmed and the players aren't either.

Plus the bookies are generally useless in pricing up these markets anyway due to the total lack of media coverage the BDO get.

McGeeney should also have won that as he he became the 2nd man after Judus to have darts to be World Champion and never win it.

I wonder how many Durrant will have to win to get to £300k in prize money

Mcgeeney at 11-1 has to be a bet

Can you get insurance on Dave Parletti?
