Bet of the day: Barney to be crowned King of the Oche

Coral’s Bet of the day

• Raymond van Barneveld struck to win six straight legs in a row and defeat James Wade
• Barney has beaten upcoming opponent Mark Webster in five of their last seven frays
• The Dutch dartsman has won four of his five Grand Slam of Darts games so far

Raymond van Barneveld a terrific 12/5 to be King of the Oche against Mark Webster

To be crowned King of the Oche Van Barneveld must be the player to win the match, rack-up the most 180s and clock the highest checkout (if any of the markets are tied, bets will be settled as losers).

Barney’s brilliance has returned with vengeance for this tournament, with the Dutch great playing some of his best darts once more, in overall impressive performances.

The Hague-born cult hero dazzled last time out, coming back from behind to favourite James Wade and going to to clinch six legs in a row and oust the Englishman.

Having been victorious in four of his five Grand Slam frays so far, revived Van Barneveld is subsequently priced odds-on at 1/2 to take the spoils from his quarters scrap with The Spider, who reached the second round despite never achieving an average of over 96.11.
