blonde poker forum

The World Darts starts tomorrow, so as blonde is blessed with some pretty shrewd Darts guys, hopefully we can have a bit of fun & a few nice bets along the way.

Sky Sports have a dedicated Channel for full coverage, & I'm sure some of you have access to streams to watch it.

Does not seem to be too much fun backing MvG at around 4/6, but there's always a rich variety of sub-markets we can get involved in most days.

Anyone fancy naming a lively outsider, or taking on MvG?

Painter, maybe?

Anyone got a link to the best "Live Score Updates"?

The overall market is here;

Most 180's here.....

And all the sub-markets here....


http://www.oddschecker.com/darts/pdc-world-championship/betting-markets

One for the Maths boys.....

Total 180s, though only 2 Firms have priced it up so far. Presumably the others will price it up before tomorrow, too. The current line is around 655.

Day 1:

I like two underdogs in the market tonight, Caven and Evans.

The PL has completely messed up Smith and I read somewhere he's lost 11 consecutive games. Evans has previous in beating seeds at the worlds and seems to bring his best game out at Ally Pally.

Caven is a solid pro and Painter very unpredictable due to his light schedule. Not sure how Caven is underdog tbh.

Any thoughts lads?

My only thoughts are that I hope you are correct, I have had modest wagers on both. Think I took the nits handicap line on Evans though.

Good luck up both of them, and us.

I've had modest interest in both the handicaps and straight wins. Good luck all round, I can't wait for it to start!

I'm all over Painter. Caven a huge choker and had a horrible year. Barely a player in the first round draw I'd have him fav against. Painter on the downgrade but was in decent nick at the players and at least you know his arse won't collapse the minute he gets on stage.

Like Evans too.

Would love to see Caven play Cullen in the first round.  Surely both of the chokers couldn't find a way to lose!  Agree on Painter.  Made him a decent fav to win this match.

I've had some longshot punts on betfair just £2 each to win

Thornton @ 580 really good for a player when's in form can beat anyone
M.king @ 670 as he's in the bottom half of the draw
Norris @ 330

Who we on tonight then lads?!!

How did Bunting not win that game last night?

He can't be feeling too good this morning.

I am on Chris Dobey quite large today.

Well in form, not afraid of the big stage vs Pipe who I feel is on the decline to the nether reaches.

Dobey 4/5 most places better on betfair ofc.

I am knocking it in like a champ so far. Getting John Henderson and Bunting beat yesterday was brutal.

Chris Dobey to get me back in the game today, please and thank you.

Was on Webster yesterday
Will roll on to dobey now I suppose
Gl us

Oi Oi - finally some darts wages!

Pipe was awful there.

Ty ty

Pipe looked like he was in the midst of a nervous breakdown. Quite hard to watch tbh.

Darts is a funny sport where a lot of new players tend to smoke their way up the rankings early (ahead of the curve and mainly down to variance i think).  They then delude themselves that they are a top 10/16 player then add all the pressure to themselves to maintain this belief which is false talent wise and then when their results regress to the mean and they fall to probably their natural ranking the wheels have totally fallen off and the career is over as they are mentally shot.  Wes Newton has fallen into this category as well.

Pipe must realise talent wise he is never going to be a long term top 16 player surely?

Yes was difficult seeing Pipe struggle, thought Dobey was on the verge of a collapse in the 4th set but his nerve held. Wouldnt of been over confident going into a final set decider.

Anyways whats next chaps?

I cant see anything else tonight.

Kist to beat Dolan on Tuesday as Exstream said before is a good spot and I doubled it with Dobey today so extra sweats!!!

Kist is a great bet but Dolan is hugely unpredictable. Nice to have the sweat though!

Arb - what are your thoughts on Dobey?

Decent action, seems to have some bottle on TV as well. They said on commentary he's being mentored by Gary Anderson but then again so was Michael Smith and look what's happened to him in recent months!

Anyways my bet tonight after research is going to be Gurney -1.5 sets at 8/11.

Many reasons including bringing good form into the tournament and I believe he has improved his finishing to the standards of his scoring.

Sigh had gurney -2.5 but also -1.5 to make up for it I guess

Jesus don't know how Michael has blown this

Chalk this up as a winner to go 2/2 on here.

Was annoyed didnt get the 3-0 as Id also snuck a cheeky bet on that but cant complain lions share was on 3-1!

Taylor 2-0 up
No 180s
105 avg

He looks a top 10 player to me at least. Superb action and taken to the stage pretty well. Still lacks a bit on consistency at times but has a 100+ game on his day at the minute. No idea why he was the price he was against Pipe.

Bet Bright an absolute comedy company, what is the point of their existence.

Clean account, first bet in ages, a modest £35 on Tengku Shah to beat Chino on Sat @ 13/10 (betfair price at the time 2.28), having been through both players' formlines on the soft tip darts circuit.

Shah went off slight favourite in the end @ 1.94, 19/20 best price and won a close affair 2-1.

My max bet now on any selection is 1p.

Huge fan of Corey Cadby having watched him in Australia this year and in Masters tourns where he beat Taylor and played well against Wright.

I mentioned him on Lil Dave's diary a while ago then people have cottoned on to his ability unfortunately having seen him hose up in the world youth final at Minehead.

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see him beat Joe Cullen tonight, but I wouldn't be backing him @ 11/10, Cullens been a lot better this second part of this year, prices seem about right to me.

Yeah sadly the cat got let out the bag with Cadby before being able to cash in. I can see him going off fav if he plays like he can in the prelim. Qiang was useless last time he was here so can see a 6 leg pummelling with an impressive average.

I wonder if he will move over in the next year or two and play the tour full time. I imagine he would do some damage if he did.

Assuming Cadby wins the first game comfortably, I really think he'll do a number on Choker Cullen.

Was 9/4 last week, into 11/10 today. Glad I got on then!

On Mervyn King tonight think itll be close but he shoould edge west.

Also on Lewis 3-0 at 8/13ish and slightly above, he will lay down a marker and always strt well here (not dropped a set for 4 years)

I knew he was good but that was pretty special. That quarter of the draw gets even uglier.

3/3.

Come on Lewis get me 4/4!!!

cadby been done at 30/1 for £200 on bf!!!!! for the title plays a guy who is still 1000/1 for the title and is 4/6 to win the match.  Hard to understand how someone could back him at a shorter price than Lewis after his qualifier to win the title.    They play each other in the 2nd round as well potentially.  5/6 each of two Lewis v Cadby!

To land the 30/1 wager he only has to potentially beat Cullen then Jackpot then Barney then Taylor then MVG then Ando.  30/1 acca!  Possibly the worse bet ever struck in the history of betfair!

Easy
I can't wait to win my 6k

4/4. I am on a roll. Hope others may have followed.

In for chunks here on Cadby. Let's hope the TV Cullen turns up and not the floor version.

Loving the na na na na na na nonsense on the walk-ons!

My Mrs thought Cadby was an angry looking lesbian.

Think he could carry off a Jake Cody lookalike as well as the lesbian look.  

In all seriousness now price up Cadby v Lewis in the next round.

Would be insane if the average bet went south in the first round by a qualifier.  Also have to feel for Cullen if he averages 3 figures here and gets done in the first round again.

Cullen is playing great to be fair. It's whether Cadby can maintain this.

He is a precocious talent. Happy with my £5ew to win it all ticket!

This is absolute class. Complete class performance from both.

Arras

Ridic standard for 1st round match. Cullen putting in the game of his life to hang on in here.

Where on Earth has Cullen pulled this performance from.

It is an unreal standard for rd1!

Unlucky Cadby backers

Cadby walks on to one. Cullen probably goes and averages 90 now against Jackpot.

What a match!

Never seen Joe play that well. That 3rd set was something else.

average bet just about safe?

I'd say MVG a danger up to the QF but in good shape.

Are we all on Kist tonight lads?

I like Robbie Green most 180s vs Barney.

Not a good start

That's more like it!

'Stand up if you love the darts' and the Yaya. Ya Ya Yaya Toure song is close to mentally breaking me. My ears are metaphorically bleeding.

The crowd needs some new chants.

Ah wtf come on

If you try to sing anything other than the well known chants - security moves in and tries to shut you up pretty quick. Went a couple of years ago, glad I went but never again.

I don't see how security could stop loads of people chanting?

I'm sick of it too, not so much the stand up if you love the darts, but defo the Toure song and defo the "feed the stands, let them know its christmas" and "boring boring tables".

I think during the Cadby Cullen match when both were averaging 108 the whole crowd had their back turned. Massive shame but I guess if the fans want to pump money into the game with ticket and drinks purchases just to enjoy the walk ons then the chanting and drinking then the organsiers and players won't be that bothered when cashing their cheques in.

tbf, it relies on the crowd to yield to the pressure from stewards.

for example, they do try and shut down the 'cheap seat' type songs and were pretty successful the night I went - perhaps we weren't drunk enough to stand up for our basic human right to chant abuse at the other sections.

My lot were on our final warning within 10 minutes of arriving in Blackpool earlier this year. We may have had one or two beverages prior to arrival.

Funny story, my brother had one of those retro England '66 T shirts. It was not a football shirt, it was a T Shirt. The stewards wouldn't let him in. He went down to one of the seedy shops on the prom and bought what can only be described as an apron with a penis on it. He put that over his shirt and was allowed in no problems. How can a penis apron be more appropriate than a T-Shirt?

Anyone else think Jeff smith is good odds for the BDO title?

Hope gurney is underdog vs Thornton
Thornton awful

I make Gurney a solid fave vs Thornton based on what I've seen. Lets hope for some generous pricing.

gurney 9/10 with paddy 7/10 with bwin 10/11 bfsb
what you reckon

Anyone put Hopp up?

Even to win one leg..

Thornton looked like he had the yips on the doubles to me. Was missing some by miles and throwing them as quick as he could. I have Gurney a decent favourite.

:) :) I like it

Try 82. Woeful stuff from Cullen. Cadby must be sick watching that.

First game was good, then the poor old drunks had to watch utter filth from Golding and Cullen.  Dreadful matches. 

Gold finger needs to take a long hard look at this position on the oche he can't seem to make his mind up where he wants to stand. He was a disgrace to earn £17k for that effort.

It's gurney day

Can't believe this opened at such odds

6 legs won in a row
2-0 up sets

Thornton dragging Gurney down to his level by all accounts.

Jesus

Not even close!

MVG's route to the semi's just gets even easier than it already was.  

Huge game for Gurney and Webster in the next round worth way more potentially than just the £13k at stake prize money wise draw wise in future major events being in the top 16.  Although being stuck at 16 or 17 in a nightmare of constantly facing MVG in the last 16!  Bunting and Whitlock currently fill these spots.  Maybe thats why they both tanked this year to get out of the black hole rankings wise of that spot!

£38k minimum for the winner (£25k locked up already) and a possible top 16 spot in the order of merit given most of the players currently above them in the rankings have 'dropped' money this year at the worlds compared to what has fallen off from 2015 on the 2 year list.  Freeroll at £80k for whoever gets through and can beat MVG in the 1/4 finals.

http://www.pdc.tv/pdc-order-of-merit

The gap between 16th and 15th is very large relative to most other gaps in the rankings and maybe there is a bit of tanking going on around that level as people try to take a step backwards to bink a big cash to bypass the 16th/17th black hole in the rankings.  Trouble is the hole is so big now to jump from sub 18 in rankings to 15th or higher is going to take a huge cash (1/4's+) for most of these players even at the worlds.  Probably a final in any other TV major.  Going to be interesting watching this area of the rankings this year as MVG becomes more and more dominant.

I'm not sure what it is  but I despise that tool Chisnall.

How would you price jackpot v Chis in an IQ test?

Jackpot odds on for that.  But not much in it. 

I make Chis a slight fav!

Barney looking very good

How do you boys price up Lewis vs RvB next round?

1/2 lewis 2/1 barney but lewis will be much bigger.

fuck me just looked and it is a flip!!  Marathon bet got 1.96 Lewis.  Jesus.  That is big bet material.  Another over reaction to a decent average in a blow out game with no pressure.

http://www.oddschecker.com/darts/pdc-world-championship/adrian-lewis-v-raymond-van-barneveld/winner

I'm going in on Lewis big if I can get close to 2.0!

Wow, I expected maybe 4/9 Lewis?

Sportingbet (lol!) just put up Lewis at 11/10 if you can get a fiver on there gl!

Painter is shocking.

Tried for a chunk, got £7.


Might be a trail round the Hills shops tomorrow job.

Hope you boys are right on Lewis, I've had a chunk on him at 10/11

All 3 of the afternoon jollies look on the short side to me.  Would be looking to get with the underdogs on the hcaps at the prices.

Someone has certainly taken a view, wants to lay Dolan +1.5 for £4.5k at 9/5 on the exchange

Edit: Backing Klaasen -1.5 for £8k too at 4/7

Seems incredibly short for a guy that is certainly capable of falling asleep for a few legs

Maybe someone knows that Dolan shut his fingers in a door last night?

Jollyfest keeps on rolling across all sports!  Some serious accas rolling onto the jolly in the Lexus in ireland in ten minutes on the racing.

Are we all on Lewis tonight?

Big price for me, 10/11 widely available.

Plenty left on the exchange, £600 at 2.02 which comes out to 1.97 after 5% commission

Lewis drifting, just got some at 2.06. First bet in months so sorry for the bad beat on the way. Missed the averages this year though so that will be safe!

Estimated points for stake? Given it 15 so far but happy to unload if it is such a rick.

I'm on the Jackpot train as well. I had him a 4/6 shot.

https://www.blacktype.bet/sportsbook/DARTS/?btag=oddschecker_betslip

Blacktype are 11/10 commission free and lay a bet to lose a monkey to anyone supposedly.  Looks a good time to test them if you have never had an account.

https://www.blacktype.bet/promotions/pdcdartspromo/

They are also offering 10% cashback on losing match bets at the worlds up to £20 as a free bet.  It is a net loss figure over the whole event but if you only have one bet on Lewis there you still qualify.   So if you have £200 on Lewis tonight and he loses you not only get 11/10 you also get a £20 free bet as well.

Didn't last long enough for me to sign up, will keep an eye out though thanks.

Hills and coral are 6/4 on Lewis Anderson and wright

I hope you japesters are right.  Just unloaded all over Lewis.

This other Lewis bloke is pathetic.  Not remotely competitive. 

wonder if anyone backed the wrong lewis by mistake

Thus far it's been the most uncompetitive tournament in years. 4-0 backers in absolute clover. MVG the only really short one not to deliver the 4-0. That said it should start to improve from here on.

Was thinking for the reasons for this and wondering if the new tours around the world in far east/Aussie/Dubai etc where its top 8 in the world and locals in a masters format alongside the premier league is just making the top boys even more used to the huge stage/noise and more and more battle hardened?

The other factor is the worlds is now worth £350k and every other TV major hasn't changed from £100k so winning the worlds (or going deep in it) now is more and more important ranking/money list wise compared to previous years.  Winning the world's this year would jump any of the top 40 or so players in the rankings straight into the top 5/6 in the world minimum basically for the next 2 years.

Yeah could be. PL as well which is helping the more seasoned players and also ruining those coming through as well when they get chucked in and beaten up every week.

Of course I had wright Anderson 4-0 double argh

107.68, brutal

On we go!

Me too.

And -2.5 double.

Punters gonna punt.

Jackpot has the darts which is a positive. Barney a good front runner not so good when chasing.

Shock horror. Lewis is useless when I back him. Not sure I've ever won money off him.

This. Fat mess.

Really f*cking dreadful under pressure was Lewis.   Oh well.

Anyone find a jolly we can get beat today?  Chis a poor fav v Klassen?

Webster most 180s vs Gurney.

Webster actually leads Gurney 9-8 over tournament.

Webster is 7/2 betfair.

Also fabcy Webster to get it done and dont see why gurney is <1.5

I haven't seen much of Webster or Gurney but i was surprised how short Gurney is tbh.

to get you all out of it.........How about backing Everton at a massive Evens to beat Hull tommorow night ?

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/hull-v-everton/winner?selectionName=everton

You love a shortie away from home Fraser.  You backing Everton as strong at 4/11 if the game was at Everton?  The bets are the same effectively EV wise.  As long as you think you edge is just as big at 4/11 at home as even money away the bet is fine (ie if you make Everton 4/6 away at Hull you would make them a 2/9 shot at home)

think my last suggestion was away against Hull , as a rule I prefer home ties in the Premier (  diff in the Championship)

is it really an away match at Hull with only half the stadium full ?

Interested if you think they are a bet at Ev ?

sorry to de rail darts by the way

I am interested in whether you would be backing them equally as strong at 4/11 if the match was at Everton.  Yes or no?  I have no view on the game tbh.  You can't just ignore home field advantage it is proven year after year after year to be the factor it is when games are priced up.  There is a lot more to playing away from home than how full the stadium is for the away team.  I would imagine at xmas it is more likely to be full than most others weeks right?

Lol at you putting everybody to the sword

I know you do , but I dont equate the two as an exact science( ie EV Away = 4/11 at home.)

 in answer to your question no I wouldn't bet them at 4 -11 at home but have at Ev( rightly or wrongly)

As you were ..GL withe darts

Peace x

haha.  Not putting anyone to the sword just asking you a logical question given the importance of playing at home in the EPL.  gl with bet and happy new year to you.

Mighty huybrechts to destroy Taylor today

Painter certainly flattered Taylor who was there for the taking if Painter could have showed up and hit a double.  Taylor averaged 92.  Hopp didn't turn up either against Kim who also averaged 92.

Mark Webster king of oche 12/1
Huybrechts same 10/1
Wright same 6/4
Easy patent

Gurney auditioning live for the next Manley role in the PDC.  Interesting.

Any love for Huybrechts tonight vs Taylor?

3/1 to win
6/4 +1.5
4/6 + 2.5

Not been impressed with Taylor one little bit so far, but he is Phil Taylor and it is the Worlds.

three shocking matches this afternoon that were all BDO standard.  The jolly fest train keeps rolling.

How did Smith find a way to lose against Wade there. Wright on the handicap next round is 'bet like a man' territory for me.

Can't tell you how much i am enjoying watching Taylor destroy Kim.  He is right up there as the biggest tosser in the game since Paul Nicholson.  Kim's body language is a pleasure to laugh at.

Surely even i can't get the greatest ever beaten here with this bok?

COME ON KIM

arbboy sod the tips mate, just offer to bok people for cash

Kim declines to sign the board.  Love it.

wtf phil crying about after the match being asked questions


guess the odds for phil vs barny

1/2 2/1

Who can stop mvg?
Is it possible?

Only Anderson can do it

Are we all aboard the Snakebite train then? He looks a better player now than when he kept switching darts earlier in the year.

2/5 win
2/3 -1.5
11/8 -2.5

Anyone think there isn't that much of a gulf in class between MGV and the rest compared to his price?  He hasn't exactly looked Taylorsque circa 2005 compared to the field so far?  I don't think he is an odds on shot in this field.

Has Peter Wright got a strip of velco on his bonce that he just attaches those different Kajagoogoo-style syrups to each day?

His missus retired as a full time hair dresser to be snake's full time hairdresser.  Think she was too shy shy...

Chis might average 110 here and lose 5-0.  Crazy scoring.

110+ averages in a final of mvg vs Anderson for both players?

This is insane.

Average bet looks like it would have lost again

Safe again by miles for both players.  Just shows how hard it is to do 108+ over a longer format.

I know nothing about darts so forgive me - What price will Anderson be against Wright in the Semi - Assume strong odds on fav based on outright prices?

I followed the rec pre tourny but can we go in again here @ 11/4 EW 1/3 getting 10/11 in the semi? Have to give up little bit on the win

364 still offering EW

4/9 9/4 roughly the prices will be.  Cracking bet if you can get on.

Lovely, cheers

A super thin betfair to reach the final market is 1.5/1.6

http://www.oddschecker.com/darts/pdc-world-championship/gary-anderson-v-peter-wright/winner

I can't have Taylor at 1/2 tonight. 

Barney has to be a bet no? Someone save me ruining Christmas and New Year.

He isn't 1/2 that's the problem.  He is 8/13.  Not sure he should be much bigger than 8/13 (or 13/8 barney) in order to take him on.  Closer to 6/4 after you paid your 5% as well on the machine.  At the prices i could only back Taylor.

BetStars we're going 2/1 and 1/2 when I had a look earlier
They are now 6/4 and 8/15

In 2016 Taylor has better average, second only to MVG, other than cadbys 5 games of course
Better checkout %
Worthy favourite, not past it

Barney averaged 95 falling over the line against Lewis who beat himself even though he beat Barney up in most of the stat categories (without talking through my Wallet!).  Taylor averaged 101 against Kim.

when was the last fav beat in the darts?  I can't actually remember!  Is channing's service winning given the results?

Let's go phil

I haven't subscribed, but I heard Nigel Sealey say on a podcast the other day he was doing well.

Presumably he picked Gurney to do well(?)

He could easily be having it off as a lot of his bets will be 180's/average over/unders/hcaps etc i would imagine even though the service in general doesn't like backing favs (on the horses anyway)  I bet he has put up Ando ew as well because it was the most obv ew steal in darts history at 1/2 1,2.

Twitter says 7/8 winning bets first week then 3/4 in the second round

!

Should be some fun new year parties for some of their subscribers!

(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/55/3b/0f/553b0f17adf669c6d9900ef417597c13.gif)

I haven't subscribed but heard him talking on matchbook podcast before the start saying MVG should be 1/2 poke and that he'd steamed into the 8/11 or whatever it was - Sealy that is

Barney turning into James Wade nicking sets!

Post game interview should be fun whichever way it goes

Who's idea was it to back Everton?

Christmas and New Year is ruined! 😥

moaned an equaliser in well there son!

Glad you got to 30th Dec before you xmas was ruined.  My punting this month ruined xmas before it even started!  Hasn't got much better since either.

My personal service is 14/17 with average odds of 1.91

This match has started well
Barney playing insane

Having an argument with a friend of mine.

I reckon MvG is the greatest darts player ever and Taylor would have won <5 world titles if he'd been around.

My mate reckons Taylor in his prime would have beaten MvG comfortably and consistently and it wouldn't have made too much difference and Taylor would have still won >10 world titles.

Obviously I am correct, aren't I?

Think Taylor at his prime was more dominant over the field than MVG is now.

But the general standard is way way better now.

So, in short, impossible to compare the two.

You are right on the averages. It's a daft argument, though.

If it weren't for Taylor, there would be any sky money to create the force the PDC has become and the players wouldn't have worked to such elite levels to compete with Taylor.

Happens in every sport and past time. The last guy is the reason for the next, so it's absurd to imply you can put one era in another.

Who's to say Eric Bristow wouldn't have been throwing 119 tonight? Or Puskas would have scored 60 goals for Barcelona in a season? Paul Morphy would have beaten Magnus Carlsen in a chess match?

prime taylor wouldnt even beat corey cabdy when he reaches his prime

Many of the best discussions between friends are a little daft Tal.

He is a huge Taylor mark and to be honest I just like winding him up but I really believe MvG would beat him.

Agreed it is a silly argument. I reckon Bolt would beat Carl Lewis as well for what it's worth!

He might have reached his prime last week!  Corey that is!

There is also the question of longevity when it comes to "greatest". No one knows yet how long MVG can maintain this sort of form. Taylor and RVB have both had ridiculously long careers playing at the highest level.

Paddy had mvgs line at 103.5 earlier jesus

MvG o105.5 average tonight is available at 2.0 at Hills.

Thoughts? Seems like a good spot to me.

VG to win, ando most 180s, VG highest checkout 8/1 on sky, dont know if theres a comparable market but seems like value to me.

I thought MVG 170 checkout was a decent shout at 9/2 last night so was gutted when he refused the bull after setting it up.

Looks like Billys go stand out 6/1 this evening so will have to forgive him and pile in again :)

The best bet of the whole event was the 1/16 on offer pre event on a 170 checkout taking place at any time in the event!  That literally must be a 1/500 shot nowadays.  MVG had 2 in a set one night.

I took the overs on Anderson 3dart average, he's doing his level best to fuck that up.

My ploy to get there worked had to try and blag the trophy and got a torch to the head but we put MVG off and Ando done a mini revival.

Anyone get on?

Capped off a great 15 days for me.

What on Earth am I going to do with myself tomorrow? I'll have to talk to those small people and that female one that lives with me I suppose.

BDO studying for the lakeside.  The firms must have done their absolute bollocks on this event.  One fav beat i think the last 6 days.  Vast majority of favs covering the handicaps.  Averages flying over in most of the late games.  total fav/over fest.

Id of loved you if so! I had chunks in o10.5 sets which that bullseye destroyed. Most 180s romped home though to save me and keep me fed another week

Premier league line up includes huybrechts and klassen
Should have stuck cadby in

Easy money darts like can't wait for the proper world championship now

Given durrants outright price thought he would be alot shorter in early rounds?

Sounded like nick kenny was a bad draw
I am on durrant king of oche though so hope he picks up the 180s

Got to love Wolfie.  60 and still going strong.  He genuinely loves the game and the fans.  Is Bobby George part of the channel 4 coverage?  First time viewing today, missed it all yday.

Some random woman asking stupid interview questions

How often slyly think all these awful players in the BDO practice
I'm going to get a dartboard, practice every day and then destroy them all

The music they play at the Lakeside between matches is just awesome!  It's like a throw back to the Bristow era.  Dancing queen and agadoo amongst two i have heard this week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POv-3yIPSWc

and durrant is going to move to the pdc...?

I've had some sick beats in my time but this is right up there. I backed Hogan in this match. Have laid Durrant outright until the cows come home and he's going to win from 3-0 and 2-0 down after a monumental choke from Croc.

first time ahead in the match was when he won the first leg of the 7th set, awful

I was just wondering what had happened to Richie George, hadn't heard his name in a while....

Got to love the Dutch kid's sponsor on his shirt in the youth final.   Gold's Gym!!!!  Slimfast will be on the shirts soon!  Some talent though. Lovely throwing action.  In comparison the Scottish kid looks like his coach has modeled his throw on Jocky Wilson.  

haha this is pretty special.

Averaging 95 apparently, which is 3 higher than anyone in the BDO Mens 2nd round. Not bad for a 16 year old.

Justin Van Tergouw, remember the name.

Made a final on the PDC development tour this year, beating Josh Payne in the Quarters 4-2

Got better and better as the match went on.  Looks a total natural.  Hearn will be on the phone i would imagine to get him locked up asap.

That was a tough watch Waites' match there.  85 averages.

Jesus how bad is Gulliver! 

what is Lakeside normally? a night-club?

Venue for small bands/tribute bands etc.  Hotel/Conference/wedding gaff i think as well.  Nightclub.  Leisure club.  All sorts of out of date stuff that some punters clearly love.

Pretty old school venue.  The two brothers also own the huge leisure complex where the world bowls event is held indoors in Norfolk on the BBC.  My gran and grandad went for years.  Proper 5 star place for oldies to dance and eat all they want all day and watch the bowls.

Pretty sure the two brothers are not short of a few quid.  They know their niche markets and serve them very well.
