Good 1st set. 3-2 to mvg

both on ton plus averages.

Crowd keeping order is odd

Smith looked like he could fall apart then but taking it to 3-2 and leaving himself a finish when it wasn’t his darts will be good for the nerves

Need to take the next set to get the game going

Not looking good for Smith.

Post by **ChrisW** » Tue Jan 01, 2019 8:46 pm

Terrible finishing from Michael S. Can't fo that against the green monster.

Post by **devosteve** » Tue Jan 01, 2019 8:49 pm

What was Smith mouthing about coming off? Complaining about mvg celebration?
He looked like his mentor (who is there supporting him) the 'crying Scotsman' for a split second.

Looking pretty ominous this.

Think Smith is certainly feeling Firstworldfinalitis.

Probably because they haven't got 3 mediocre matches on and they value the price of the ticket they've paid for tonight i'd bet.

Headshaking

3-0.

Must win set for Smith.

Crowd quiet.

That is as good a reason as any to be supporting Bullyboy tonight. I also have bet Michael Smith to win, but only at 14/1 ew.
Various things on tonight:
- 35 or more 180s @ 5/1 (WH)
- Both to have 15 or more 180s @ 13/8 (Betfair)
- Both to average 100 or more and have at least 12 180s each @ 6/4 (Hills)

Also done a complicated ton plus checkouts arb between Hills and Spreadex but too complicated to explain here.

Hope you haven't put too much on - could be an expensive night!

Has MvG won this yet??

Post by **devosteve** » Tue Jan 01, 2019 9:06 pm

Smith missing those 3 at double 12! Missed opportunity to win that set.

Let's see how he reacts after this break.

Post by **Zapp Brannigan** » Tue Jan 01, 2019 9:07 pm

7-1 I recon

Smith needs to get out of this strop. Hes acting and playing like he used to 3/4 years back

If this carries on like this definitely. Could be over in 20 minutes.

Come back at about 9.40 for confirmation! Hats off to MvG for how he has played. Going to take some comeback from Smith to stop him now.

Post by **ChrisW** » Tue Jan 01, 2019 9:10 pm

Vinny said in the studio he told MVG to be more business like and not take his foot off the gas like he did with Anderson at 5-0.

He hasn’t really played that well. Think smith has had darts to take 3 of the 4 sets

Ah, so you've got an insurance bet - very wise

Post by **Zapp Brannigan** » Tue Jan 01, 2019 9:19 pm

Odd that as bad as everyone has said smith has been he could have been 3-2 or even 4-1 up here
