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.
