So we didn't post group stage projections

There's a few reasons for this, mainly lack of time, but:

a) The games come so quickly and trying to make minor updates after each set of games would just be too much to manage

b) With it only being best of nine, it increases the damage that is done if you don't win the bull, so you probably need even more edge than you would do ordinarily to ensure that your bet is still +EV if you don't win in the backroom

c) The usual dangers of dead rubbers, players having limited or no data, players mailing it in if they only need one leg

In retrospect this might have been a shame, as it'd probably have told us to lay Wade twice and it work for once. Still, it is what it is, and we will look at the last sixteen. I'll post the ones we know now then edit once we've got the data in from tonight, which I'll hopefully do tonight but I think realistically it'll be Wednesday (although when, given I want to watch the Running Man remake then will be in the pub in the evening, I don't know). Going short-medium-long-composite as usual.

Humphries - van der Velde - 92/93/92/92

Dobey - Smith - 84/75/70/76

Woodhouse - Evans - 44/54/55/51

Price - Schindler - 71/73/71/72

Littler - Nijman - 76/81/81/79

Rock - Scutt - 82/86/70/79

van Gerwen - Noppert - 67/63/64/65

Wenig - Springer - 36/32/32/33

So I'll take a bit of the in form Evans at the price he's available at, and then check on the Thursday games later.

Some things I want to do - look at if Littler outright for the worlds is in any way value, a WDF worlds preview, but I'll wait for the latter until next week once there's been quite a few more qualifiers this weekend, so maybe I do the WDF thing on Thursday.

Wednesday afternoon edit - not a great night sleep or morning so binned off the film until tomorrow. Bottom half projections listed above.
