Wade is Huge Threat to Traditional Dominance of Taylor and Barneveld

PartyBets.com is pleased to release odds for the inaugural PartyBets.com Grand Slam of Darts, which takes place at Wolverhampton Civic in the UK from 17th-25th November 2007. With a GBP300,000 prize pool, the PartyBets.com Grand Slam of Darts features 32 champions of the sport from the PDC and BDO/WDF. Live coverage of the tournament will be screened on both ITV1 and ITV4 in the UK with nightly highlights. This is the first time live darts has been broadcast on ITV for eight years. The event will also be broadcast to audiences on television stations all over the world.

The sponsors make Phil Taylor the 3/1 favourite to win, narrowly followed by Holland's Raymond van Barneveld at 7/2 and will be offering betting promotions throughout the tournament. For more see http://www.partybets.com

A spokesman for PartyBets.com said "In recent years bookmakers have had no choice but to make Phil Taylor an odds-on favourite for tournaments but the recent emergence of James Wade as a major force in the sport and the consistent success of Raymond van Barneveld mean the PartyBets.com Grand Slam of Darts is wide open. All the early money has been for Wade but that is not surprising considering he won two major titles in less than three months."
