Re: BDO Lakeside Betting

Fancy Harms E/W at 14-1. 2 years on the trot Semis. I don't. Then again him saying he is switching might be a lie.?? Who knows ;-) Why I asked about betting on 'switchers' is if someone is 'rumourer' to be leaving for the PDC that it affects their odds for Lakeside. As if it does have an effect the...

Re: Fattest???

Adrian Lewis is a prime candidate for a heart attack unless he loses a good few stone,must be at least 20 stone. Totally agree I would say that 'FatPot' as he is now affectionally referred to my house probably holds the record for the most weight gained from TV Debut. For the 'fattest' I think its ...

Re: The Weakest World Finalist participants ever (at the tim

is it that hard for you to accept that most people I knew had zero knowledge of part and very little of george ? nothing you say will convince me that george was an expected finalist prior to the final either. No I find it incredibly easy to accept that you were not a darts fan or a follower of dar...

Re: The Weakest World Finalist participants ever (at the tim

As I stated before on the "known" factor, Bobby would have been known to genuine fans, but almost everyone i knew who watched darts at the time casually knew little about george's notw titles and only some remembered his previous final appearance which was a whole 14 YEARS earlier But he ...

Re: The Weakest World Finalist participants ever (at the tim

Blimey JC, you have called this wrong. I remember the year with George in the final and right from day one there seemed to be PR surge behind George because of who he was, I.e. he was probably the main man for the tv and press for the whole week. everyone knew he was and casual fans were left in no...

Mr Credible I am very intreged as to how old you are ?

Re: Blackpool tickets selling fast!

When these figures were being pitched by the BDO Events people were these questions not asked ? or at least pointed out ? Did they need to pitch any specific figures? Seems like it was just "we have both TV and sponsorship line up" and that was all the BDO wanted to hear... Sadly that's e...

Re: Blackpool tickets selling fast!

Do the PDC sell much more than 14000 over the whole Matchplay week ? Not sure to be honest. I'm only guessing but would say capacity is around 2,000 a session? Given that the Matchplay is in July and not February and that obviously could sell more tickets if they had the capacity at the Winter Gard...

They are aiming for 1,000 entries and 14,000 ticket sales.

Re: Is darts really a sport?

again you think by introducing other so called sports and their classification it will make darts more of a sport. By doing this you are basically acknowledging that Darts has no merits of its own to be classed a sport, and you know the truth, but still insist on making retarded claims. Rather than...

Re: Is darts really a sport?

When you have a fat 53 tear old as the best ever it should let you know its not a sport. Stupid people who let their love for a game blind them into making retarded statements. How about if he was 45 years old ? and his name was George Foreman ? and is 5 November 1994 recorded or noted anywhere tha...

Re: Legs or sets?

Has anyone won a World title winning less legs than the loser ?

What I hate with a passion is the best of 3 sets one break of throw and that's it making the whole set thing pointless. Plus you only need to lose 2 breaks of throw to lose a best of 9 sets game 5-0

Re: Q School 2014

That would just paper over the problem. The main tour needs to be attractive enough so that the secondary tour will in fact be seen as only a backup plan by players (the way it ought to be). Anything else will just be a PDC version of the BDO-style "punish players for making choices we don't a...

Re: Q School 2014

Why not just have a simple rule that limits the number of years you can play on the challenge tour without holding a Full Tour Card. Say 3 consecutive years on the challenge tour and if you haven't made a full tour card in that time then you are inelligible to play on the challenge tour the followi...
