Darts tips: Dave Clark’s three best bets for Thursday’s PDC Home Tour action

I was delighted that my NAP won yesterday, where Ryan Searle to beat James Wade was 11/10.

We’ve had a fascinating tournament so far – a 9-darter in the kitchen, Dave Chisnall broadcasting pictures of a lego truck instead of his dartboard and Adrian Gray attaching his camera to a door with a sucker and it falling off mid-match!

But James Wade took the biscuit. He posted on Twitter a picture of his epic man cave built at the end of his garden. It was like going through the keyhole!

Last minute checks have just been done.

On to tonight, and my best bet is a bit more daring then yesterday…

Gabriel Clemens to beat Ryan Meikle 5-3 @ 5/1

I fancy Clemens to beat Meikle in tonight’s opener with a 5-3 scoreline at 5/1. I really like the look of that bet and it’s a decent price.

Clemens is a really good player. He reached the semi-finals of the BDO World Masters back in 2007 and also made the last 16 of the UK Open a couple of years ago.

Ryan Meikle, meanwhile, is called ‘the barber’. No prizes for guessing why… he’s a hairdresser from Ipswich!

Meikle is pretty new to the circuit. He won his tour card back in 2016 and was a semi-finalist in the World Youth Championship a few years ago.

But for me, he just hasn’t got the power and consistency of Clemens, who is a really solid player on the circuit.

Clemens to win 5-3 against Meikle is 5/1 is my NB.

Jelle Klaasen to beat Gavin Carlin 5-3 @ 5/1

In the second match tonight, I like Klaasen to beat Carlin.

Northern Irish player Carlin, 35, came on the PDC circuit in 2019 having come through Q-School.

Klaasen for me will have too much class. He’s a former BDO World Champion and is simply a better player than Carlin.

Klaasen to win 5-3 is another 5/1 shot and another great price!

Looking forward playing in tonight’s @unibet Home Tour????? @officialpdc @officialunicorndarts @lstyleglobal @hsbetonwarenbv who’s watching?? ?? pic.twitter.com/mVHpwzYiJj

Gabriel Clemens to beat Jelle Klaasen

I fancy Clemens to see off Klaasen in what could be the shootout for top spot.

Combine with the above two, and the treble works out at just over 7/2.

Dave Clark’s three best bets tonight:

• NAP – Treble: Gabriel Clemens to beat Ryan Meikle, Jelle Klaasen to beat Gavin Carlin and Gabriel Clemens to see off Jelle Klaasen @ 7/2
• NB – Gabriel Clemens to beat Ryan Meikle 5-3 @ 5/1
• Jelle Klaasen to beat Gavin Carlin 5-3 @ 5/1
