2 October: World Grand Prix
The Bet: Kim Huybrechts £2 e/w @ 40/1
Placed by: P
Info:
I read something that said Huybrechts plays his best darts at this time of year. Let's hope that continues.
The Hurricane came back from a set down in Round 1 to defeat Ian White but showed much better form in seeing off Steven Bunting 3-0 in the second round.
Th quarter-finals saw Huybrechts' exit the competition at the hands of World Champion Gary Anderson. Bah!

The bet: £5 Neil Robertson @ 6/1

Second favourite Robertson has done Gamblor a favour in the past, can he do us another?

7 April - The Masters
The bets:
£2 McIlroy at 8/1
£2e/w Fowler 16/1, Mickelson 20/1, Stenson 25/1
£1e/w Koepka 60/1
Placed by: K
Info:
Rickie Fowler opened with an 80 and although he recovered with a second round 73 he missed the cut. It was the reverse for Phil Mickelson who went 72, 79 to miss out by one shot. A 72 and 75 saw Stenson through but seven shots off the pace. Koepka was two better after a 72 and a 75. Rory McIlroy was just one behind going into the weekend after rounds of 70 and 71.
Stenson's slide continued into the the third round with a 78. Koepka also struggled with a 76 and McIlroy's chances also went with a 77.
A level par final round left Koepka +5 and tied for 21st place. Stenson's tournament finished one shot worse at +6 while McIlroy's final 71 left him tied for tenth, six off the winner.

12 March - FA Cup
The bet: West Ham £5 @ 9/1
Placed By: P
Info:
9/1? When they're already in the quarter-finals? Against a woeful Manchester United side? Surely that's value.
It wasn't. The Hammers lost the quarter-final replay.

5 March - PDC UK Open
The bets: Peter Wright £3 @14/1 and Mark Webster £1 e/w at 50/1
Placed by: P
Info:
This 'FA Cup of darts' open draw tournament creates a minefield so I didn't get stuck in until after the third round draw.
Wright is surely good enough to land one of these and Webster is showing signs of a return to form and has gone deep in this tournament before.
In the last 32 Wright shared the first ten legs with Terry Jenkins before pulling away to win 9-5. Webster dropped just four legs in his win over Dirk van Duijvenbode.
Both players made it into the quarters. Wright saw off Darren Webster 9-5 while our preferred Webster beat Mensur Suljovic by the same score.
In the quarters Wright saw off a fightback from Joe Cullen to win 10-7 but Webster fell 10-3 to Phil Taylor.
Wright made it into the final beating Jelle Klaasen 10-5 but was runner-up for a second season in a row, losing to the same player as last year, Michael van Gerwen 11-4.
