Anyone who know anything about sport will tell you that Phil Taylor is one of the most underrated sportsmen (how he doesn't make Top 10 in Sports Personality of the Year in most years is a disgrace).
Since the 2007/8 World Championships, Phil Taylor has been in sensational form. In subsequent live TV tournaments, in only lost one of event (and that was only narrowly). I think that Stan James are taking a chance by quoting Phil Taylor at 33/1 to win the eight live TV events. I think he will be odds on for all these events and, as the year progresses, if he continues to win he will get progressively shorter priced.
I would make it a 16/1 chance at most. I've had 2 pts. at 33/1.
(Events listed below)
Premier League, US Open, UK Open, Las Vegas Desert Classic, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, World Championship 2009/10, Grand Slam Of Darts.

Chris, wouldn't you need to make Taylor around 1/2 to win each individual event for the 33/1 to be a value bet? Wouldn't expect him to be that short.
He is 1/2 for the PDC World Championship....if he carries on winning I think he could start being 1/2-2/5 for tournaments later in the year.
As you say, not the best bet of all time, but as a minimum I think you'll get a good run for your money.
