Martin Lukeman v Ross Smith Best Bet
🎯 Ross Smith Over 5.5 180s
📈 Odds: 1.67
Look for Ross Smith to hit six or more 180s in his round of 16 tie with Martin Lukeman at the Grand Slam of Darts on Wednesday night. ‘Smudger’ secured his spot in the last 16 by winning each of his final two Group D games. Lukeman, on the other hand, landed top honours in Group C, winning all three of his matches in the process. The form book suggests Smith is too skinny to support at 1.57, with six or more 180s from him the more attractive angle of attack at 1.67.
The Dover-based ace is well-renowned for being one of the most reliable 180 hitters across the entire PDC. Smith’s overall tally of 480 maximums since the turn of the year is topped by only six other players on the planet. Admittedly, Smith wasn’t firing in the 180s with the frequency we’ve become accustomed to during the group stage, however there is plenty of scope for that to change in a game that will be a race to 10.
That was the case when Smith reached this stage of the competition a couple of years ago, as he delivered a double digit 180 count in a 10-8 loss to Luke Humphries. Another 18 legged affair or more is certainly within the realms of possibility when Smith locks horns with in-form Lukeman on Wednesday night, making over 5.5 maximums from Smudger a sensible solution at the odds on offer.
