We have just ended May on a good note as Motherwell defeated Rangers, but as apprehensive was on the Rangers fans, they did help us land our final bet for the month on 11 or more corners.
The Dubai Masters darts threw people to one side due to no live coverage in the UK. According to the PDC website, only the UK did not get LIVE coverage. Surely ITV were able to pocket the tourney at a knock down price for showing delayed coverage, possibly much like Challenge TV did last year. I suspect the other world of series down under in Australia will be on delay again.
Although I watched all the coverage, you do not get that "feel" of the live element especially with betting involved and also the array of social media, where you want to avoid the scores!

I am expecting England to get to the final, with the Netherlands with some competition with Scotland in their path. I am interested in a possible Ireland Vs Wales round two game. I expect the bookies to favour Wales around 1/2 with Ireland 2/1 and expect a 4/9 - 7/4 bookie margin pricing.
I will expect Germany to show a good account of themselves, and Northern Ireland, who presented themselves in tall fashion last year are worth keeping an eye on. New Zealand could be the team to take on versus Canada, if you are looking for an upset in round one.
