The Blue Square UK Open darts odds for the 2009 UK Open darts championship yet again has the Phil “The Power” Taylor at the head of the betting at around 5/6 odds on but he can be backed at 10/11 with Bet365
However before punters too carried away with Taylor's chances it is pointed out that he has not won this particular tournament since 2005 and has been beaten in the last two by Raymond Van Barneveld, who won in 2007 and was a beaten semi-finalist last year.
In fact last year's winner was world number two, James Wade, who is in terrific form at present having just won the Premier League, where he beat Mervyn King in the final. Wade we believe is generously priced at around 7/1 to retain his crown but he can be nabbed at 15/2 if punters are quick with is Boylesports
By his own admission Taylor has not been playing at his absolute best since he won his 14th world crown and he knows that the nature of the UK Open is not always helpful to him. Despite this he was the only player to score a 9 dart finish during last year's tournament.

The big guns in the tournament do not enter the competition until the third round but prior to that there are a number of excellent matches to be enjoyed and to bet on. As most darts fans will know the tournament is drawn on a random basis, meaning anyone can play anyone else at any stage. This format does give the outsider a chance as it did last year when American, Gary Mawson reached the final.
10/11 Taylor, 7/1 Wade, 9/1 Van Barnavald, 10/1 Gary Anderson, 25/1 Mervyn King, Robert Thornton, 33/1 Mark Walsh, Terry Jenkins, Adrian Lewis, 40/1 Alan Tabern, 50/1 Andy Hamilton, Colin Osbourne, John Part, 66/1 Jellie Klaasen, Co Stompe, Vincent Van der Voort, Colin Lloyd, Mark Webster, Kevin Painter, Dennis Priestley, 80/1 Bar
