Adrian Lewis up against Simon Whitlock, and the top bet is…?
The wait is almost at its end as Week 14 of the McCoy’s Premier League Darts approaches, promising a visual treat for the fans.
May 10 marks the beginning of one of the most eagerly anticipated Premier League of all time as darts giants’ face-off each other in the hopes of becoming the best in the world.
The final eight in the league are amazing at their individual craft yet two names stand out of the rest without an effort, Adrian Lewis and Phil Taylor.
Both of these darts magicians have out-shined and outclassed every player in the world with their precision play. Their consistency is the key for their success in the world of darts and remains the pillar of their future performance's success.
The battle between Adrian Lewis and Simon Whitlock is the center of attention these days and the question remains, who is the right guy to bet on?
Well, for that, let us have a look at both of these dart thrower’s careers and investigate the case of finding the right man to bet on.
Simon Whitlock, nicknamed “The Wizard”, is ranked 6th in the world ranking. He is known for his surprise victories rather than being consistent with his wins. His statistical record contains a number of great comebacks yet he remains the only
player who has never won a World Championship.
Surprisingly, this year’s McCoy’s Premier League gave a shocking result in the fifth week when Simon Whitlock defeated Adrian Lewis causing havoc all over.
Lewis, on the other hand, was awestruck and seemed confused upon the fact that the Australian showman completely took over the match in the final minutes.
This win got “The Wizard” the right amount of respect and acknowledgment he required among his competitors. He remained in the darts headlines for weeks on with his win over “The Jackpot”.
Even with the defeat Lewis faced at the hands of “The Wizard”, he remains one of the top candidates to win this year’s McCoy’s Premier League.
“The Jackpot” is currently ranked number 2 in the World Ranking and has amazing career stats. He won the 2011 PDC World Championship and successfully defended his crown in 2012.
He remains the only player to execute a nine-dart finish at the World Championship final. His play is a sight worth watching as he is known of overcoming pressure and playing his best under it.
It was the eleventh week of this year’s Premier League when the world saw Lewis defeating Phil Taylor.
This was easily the best win of his entire career. It rushed in the news as something unbelievable. Taylor has been invincible in the past years and Lewis appeared as an easy opponent if we keep Taylor and his level of play in mind but Lewis hit the jackpot
once again.
Lewis and Whitlock face-off seems like another “short and sweet” win for “The Jackpot”. Whitlock maybe the wizard of darts, yet, his bag of gold lacks experience. Without a shadow of doubt, Lewis remains the top bet.
