Q-School Betting Value

[Rout]

Lot of talk going about finding some value in the Q-School betting. So thought I would see if I could unearth some overpriced players.

The obvious place to look first is the players who are exempt to the final phase.

UK School
Jim Williams 4/6 (PP, WH) 92.93
Scott Mitchell 11/10 (PP) 93.29
Robert Thornton 6/5 (PP) 89.72
Jamie Lewis 5/4 (SB, WH) 89.79
Joe Murnan 23/10 (PP) 90.27
Simon Stevenson 23/10 (PP) 88.95
Matthew Dennant 13/8 (PP) 89.82
Scott Baker 2/1 (PP) 89.14
Richard North 9/4 (WH) 89.50
Reece Robinson 9/4 (SB) 91.92
Gavin Carlin 5/2 (PP) 88.69
Scott Taylor 5/2 (PP) 89.20
Lewis Williams 3/1 (SB) 87.13
Kirk Shepherd 3/1 (SB, WH) 86.76
Robert Collins 3/1 (PP) 88.44
Conan Whitehead 7/2 (PP) 89.92
Andrew Gilding 7/2 (PP) 90.95
Richie Burnett 4/1 (PP) 88.50
Carl Wilkinson 9/2 (SB) 85.38
Jon Worsley 11/2 (SB, WH) 86.74
Nathan Rafferty 11/2 (PP) 85.00
Matt Clark 11/2 (PP) 87.31
Dom Taylor 6/1 (SB, WH) 87.71
Rhys Griffin 6/1 (SB, PP, WH) 81.28
Joe Davis 7/1 (PP) 76.85
Adam Huckvale 9/1 (SB, WH) 86.20
Adrian Gray 12/1 (SB, WH) 88.24
Keelan Kay 16/1 (SB) 79.57
David Pallett 16/1 (WH) 86.67
Nathan Derry 20/1 (SB, WH) 83.42
Barrie Bates 25/1 (SB, WH) 80.91
Michael Barnard 33/1 (SB) 81.69

Dave Pallett is probably a bit high at 16s. Not having a good time results wise but not playing terribly by the looks. Has pedigree and might be worth a cheeky couple of pounds.

Adrian Gray at 12/1 a similar story. Not one to depend on but reckon he could put in one good day over the course and pinch a card.

Gilding might be the best of the shorter prices at 7/2. Along with Richie Burnett at 4/1 too.


Euro School

Niels Zonneveld 10/11 (WH) 88.76
Toni Alcinas 15/8 (PP) 85.98
Rowby-John Rodriguez 11/8 (PP) 91.31
Martin Schindler 7/4 (WH) 89.69
Maik Kuivenhoven 9/4 (PP) 92.32
Benito van de Pas 5/2 (WH) 93.50
Jan Dekker 11/4 (PP) 88.33
Kevin Doets 11/4 (PP) 90.94
John Michael 11/4 (PP) 90.41
Geert Nentjes 3/1 (SB) 89.59
Brian Raman 7/2 (SB, WH) 87.30
Christian Bunse 4/1 Sky Bet 89.44
Damian Mol 7/1 (SB, WH) 79.03
Marko Kantele 7/1 (SB) 89.76
Vincent Van der Meer 8/1 (WH) 86.5
Maikel Verberk 8/1 (SB, WH) 84.99
Sebastian Bialecki 14/1 (WH, SB) 84.5
Jitse Van der Wal 25/1 (WH) 80.20

Bialecki might be worth a small punt at 14s. Has put in a couple of ton-plusses on the development tour and at his age is probably pretty fearless (17 or 18 I believe?). Won 6 games at last years Qschool.

Kantele looks a little high at 7/1. Beat some good players last year like King and Lowe. Plenty of experience.

Bunse looks one of the best value options to me at 4/1. Has beaten MVG, Lewis, Vinny, Damon Heta, Dolan Beaten in the last 12 months. Steady around the 90 mark. Won a card at the last time of asking.

Of the short prices, Big Benny at 5/2 looks a decent shout. Despite not being the player he was a couple of years ago, still putting in some good numbers and might have a bit more class than the rest of the field.

Have any forum members got any good tips on the rest of the field?

Dave Pallett

[Black Velvet]

Kirk Shepherd at nigh on 10/1

[Rout]

Dave Pallett

I don't expect him to get a card. Just feel 16/1 considering he is exempt to the last stage is a little high.

So why waste money?

[ILAD]

Anyway the bugger will probably get a card now, ha

[footballafc]

Tricole at 14-1 (Sky) and van der Wal at 25-1 (William Hill) look decent to me

[Freddo]

John Bowles and Pete Hudson. Both 8s. Solid throwers who know how to get the job done in something like this.

Good shout on Hudson. I've heard he is playing superbly.

On the dart board.

[Ginge]

Its a fair question. Anyone can blow smoke up their own arse with how they are playing in their bedroom.

Exactly, he’s talking shite.

[ILAD]

He will end up as DBGs manager next.

[Rout]

I am pretty sure someone said he was one to watch on ITV's coverage over the weekend actually when they did a qschool feature.

But Ilad probably knows better than me to be fair. Seems a knowledgable lad. Looking forward to his tips.

I’m not the one that did research and started a thread, so apart from the bookies where did you get the information on who was playing well and who wasn’t? In your own time.
