The McCoy’s Premier League approaching finale, Taylor is the right bet!? Think again!
The semi-finals of the McCoy’s Premier League are just days away as bettors are pondering upon the right choice to bet on. Names like Phil Taylor, Simon Whitlock, Andy Hamilton and James Wade shine on the list of darts artists to be looked upon as potential
players to bet on.
The League has been terrific so far. The level of play and competition has been surprisingly pleasant. Major upsets have followed straight wins and defeats.
Phil Taylor stands tall and firm at the number one rank position of the table as Whitlock, Hamilton and Wade occupy second, third and fourth positions respectively.
Bettors are taking Phil Taylor as their top horse to bet on which makes sense. Yet one name has gone beyond any other name in the competition and has countered every major defeat into a surprise win.
Simon Whitlock is the name not to underestimate. This man has single handedly knocked out all odds against him with a magical play. His form has never been this good and his aggressive game-play has been his weapon.
The question arises, why to bet on “The Wizard” when a name like Phil Taylor resides in the potential winners. Well, here are the reasons that answer this question.
The day Whitlock entered the McCoy’s Premier League, he was considered an under-dog. The young Aussie proved his point early in the game by beating big names like James Wade, Gary Anderson and Kevin Painter.
The biggest shocker came when “The Wizard” defeated “The Jackpot” in the fourteenth week causing havoc all around the darts universe.
Lewis ranked number two in the World Ranking at the time of defeat and was in clear disbelief. No one could have imagined that Whitlock will pull of a victory against Lewis.
All the bets took a 360 degree turn as Lewis was thrown out of the League by the hands of “The Wizard”.
Lewis was in terrific form in the early weeks of the League as he defeated the world number one, Phil Taylor in majestic fashion confirming his global dominance in darts.
On the other hand, Whitlock seemed an easy opponent for Lewis as he mistakenly took him as a piece of cake that will guarantee his presence in the semi-finals. Well, that did not happen.
Whitlock whipped Lewis upside down and got him out with ease. That tells a lot about the man that is Simon Whitlock.
It is indeed simple, Taylor beat everyone, Lewis beat Taylor and Whitlock defeated Lewis. Therefore, Whitlock is the best in the League by far.
He is up against Andy Hamilton in the semi-final which seems as the most important match of his entire career as if he wins the semi-final, he is most likely to go up against “The Power”.
That is the day when Simon Whitlock can declare his dream of becoming the best in the world if he defeats Taylor. This task is not something Whitlock has not witnessed before. His victory against Lewis was somewhat similar in magnitude.
The bets are on Phil Taylor, yet the most likely man to surprise the world of darts still remains Simon Whitlock as his play has been, by far, the most groundbreaking of them all.
A little thought is needed for the right bet as Whitlock may surprise everyone once again with his magic and cause an upset. If anyone has a foresight working, Whitlock is the one to bet on.
